RUDN Engineering Academy expert tells about the results of researching high performance modified concrete
Galina Okolnikova, professor of the Department of architecture and construction of RUDN Engineering Academy took part in the III International conference of Engineering Sciences and Technologies 2017 in Cebu (Philippines) 24-25 November, 2017, where she made a report on her research in the field of modern composite construction materials, in particular – high performance modified concrete.
Research results were used when building high-rise buildings of the Moscow international business center Moscow-City and reconstructing the building of RUDN Engineering Academy.
A RUDN agrotechnologist has identified wheat genotypes that are resistant to a dangerous fungal pathogen that infects plants even before the snow melts and reduces yields.
RUDN University engineers have calculated the parameters of a system that can prevent lunar power plants from overheating. These developments will be needed when planning for long-term lunar missions and colonizing the satellite.
Landfills are the third largest source of anthropogenic methane in the world. They account for ~11% of estimated global emissions. Methane is 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide and is the second largest driver of man-made climate change. Scientists from around the world met at Zhejiang University's Hangzhou campus to determine the best available technologies for recovering energy and materials from non-recyclable residual waste.
