This work starts a series of the articles devoted to the analysis of the processes taking place in poorly structured and geopolitically unstable zones (regions) of the contemporary world. Considering the analysis of the specific situations as a special scientific procedure, the author looks at length at the instrumentation which is supposed to be used by a researcher of a relevant profile. The author proves the thesis of the inadmissibility of contrasting exact and non-exact methods in the investigation of geopolitical problems in the unstable and turbulent environment. Special attention is paid to revealing the possibilities of various forms of modelling which is more extensively used in the regional geopolitics. The analysis of the specific situations is interpreted by the author as a complex multi-level work consisting of two phases.

This work presents the second article within the series devoted to the peculiarities of the analysis of the situations in geopolitically unstable zones (regions) of the contemporary world. The author focuses on the first stage of this scientific procedure. It includes the determination of the geographical parameters of the region under investigation (or the problematic zone of the world), the study of the topography of the involved political powers and compiling their basic characteristics as well as the identification of the overall “architecture” the studied site.

Keywords: system analysis, situational analysis,“place-action” (pad), “local” states, the status and viability of the states, the geopolitical taxonomy of the region, the state’s power, the potential of the state, national interests, axis of national interests

Using simulation and finite element method calculations of stress-strain state of monolithic concrete support for underground structures with non-circular outlines made of fast-hardening concrete are carried out in the paper. Based on the obtained results, the maximum stress zones and their magnitude in the reinforced concrete support are established. The stresses are compared with circular-form supports. The factors influencing the stress state of the support are determined.

High cost and shortage of cement in the construction market of the Russian Federation determines the need to find ways to save it. One of the promising directions of improving the technology of concrete, providing the opportunity for significant savings of cement is the production of concretes of new generation. Such concretes are of high quality or highly functional. Mandatory element of the technology of such concretes is the introduction in their composition of organic additives (OMD). Using the methods of the experiment planning theory in the developed compositions of organic additives depending on the fineness of the mineral component and dosage of superplasticizer. It is established that the use of the proposed organic-mineral additives will allow to save from 15 to 30% of cement without loss of concrete strength.

We consider an articulated reinforced beam from a bimodule material on an elastic base under the action of a concentrated force. Numerical investigation of the influence of the bimodule property of the beam material on the bending moment and deflection is given. The influence of the elastic bedding coefficient on the value of the maximum normal stress, the maximum bending moment and the maximum deflection is shown. Investigations were carried out for fibre-foam concrete beams, for which tensile modulus and compression moduli obtained experimentally are known. Numerical studies have shown that taking into account the bimodulity of the material, that is, taking into account the difference in elasticity modulus between tensile and modulus of elasticity for compression for concrete, leads to the need for calculation of strength both in tensile and compressive stresses.

From the pilot section of the gas pipeline, after ten years of operation, specimen-witnesses were seized. The gas pipeline consists of reinforced polyethylene pipes with an average adhesive reinforcing layer. The results of mechanical tests of model samples are given in the article. Investigations of the deformation-strength properties of the witness specimens show a decrease in the temperature of the viscous-brittle transition to -15 ° C. These results indicate a deterioration in the adhesion between the outer layers of PE80 and the middle technological layer. Good adhesion led to the emergence and development of a fragile crack. Stability tests at constant pressure showed satisfactory results, not a single sample collapsed. According to the research data, the reinforced polyethylene pipe did not deteriorate its deformation-strength properties for ten years of operation of the gas pipeline under pressure.
