Power efficiency of residential houses requires the application of varied thermal insulation systems, including curtain walls. Peculiarities of their design that can produce a substantial impact on their durability and operational reliability are discussed in the article.
A standard curtain wall system represents a structure composed of one layer of thermal insulation made of mineral cotton attached to the bearing wall by dish-shaped dowels, a bearing frame (a subsystem) attached to the wall by anchors, and outer lining materials (panels, boards or sheets) that are mounted in such a manner so that the spacing between the outer lining and the layer of thermal insulation is 0.4 to 0.8 m.
Evidently, strength analysis of structural and fixture elements (anchors) must be completed in the course of the building design (new project) or as a supplementary pre-repair stage in the event of extensive repairs, to assure reliable and safe operation of curtain wall systems. Any analysis is to be based on the most complete information about the materials and elements of the curtain wall system, its structural peculiarities, and the whole variety of loads and impacts that the building may be exposed to, including dynamic loads associated with its height. The quality of the analysis depends upon proper identification of the forces that the structure of the wall system is exposed to, and proper selection of design models of elements (namely, with the account for the kinematic analysis) of the structure of the curtain wall system being designed.
Evidently, many factors of strength of structural details, elements and joints must be substantiated by tests that may be specified as procedures of identification of structural reliability of a curtain wall system. Besides, the analysis-related section of the design project must be based on a set of tests (of separate elements and joints) performed in the environment close to the natural conditions of the curtain wall maintenance (field tests).
The results of laboratory tests (given the adjustments for permissible tolerances) may be regarded as the principal criteria in the assessment of applicability of a curtain wall system in the course of a major building repair project or a new construction to assure the required reliability and durability.

Presently, offshore projects have moved to a new level. Advanced technologies are employed to develop those oil and gas deposits that were inaccessible in the past. SPAR and FPSO platforms are used to develop deposits at a depth of over 2,000 meters. Versatile technologies, including suction piles, represent a major factor of successful implementation of these projects.Renewable energy sources arouse more interest. Wind energy is a most ambitions area of research. Wind farms may be installed along the coastline or a shelf. Today many offshore projects are implemented using renewable energy sources. Presently, wind power generators represent sophisticated structures having blades with a diameter of up to 150 m. One of the main objectives is to have them strongly attached to the seabed. Suction piles are often used to solve this task. Suction piles minimize the work at sea, and they are used to install both fixed and floating platforms. The authors consider modern constructions used in similar projects and present the history of suction piles and their use in different offshore projects. The authors also analyze the most recent developments in the area of anchor design for suction piles.The area of research covered in the article is highly relevant. Anchors and foundations based on suction piles can be widely used to develop offshore projects in Russia.

In this paper the problem of interaction between grouted anchor and the surrounding soil body with account for its elastic-plastic properties is solved by analytical and numerical methods. Tensile loads are exerted on a grouted anchor placed in homogeneous soil body. Under ultimate loads occurs the failure of the system “anchor-surrounding soil”. This research is based on the elastic-plastic model designed by Timoshenko. The problem of interaction between grouted anchor and the surrounding soil is solved in various design conditions, such as constant structural shear strength, account for anchor stiffness, linear variable structural shear strength. The solutions of these problems can be used for quantitative estimation of the stress-strain state of the system. This estimation makes it possible to calculate the displacements of anchors and their bearing capacity. It is shown that displacements significantly depend on physico-mechanical properties of the surrounding soil, geometrical properties of the anchor, selection of design model. The analysis demonstrates that load-displacement curve has clear nonlinearity and unrestrictedly increases at approaching the ultimate stress. The account for anchor stiffness insignificantly influences the obtained solutions and account for it may be neglected. The obtained equations also show that the displacement of the anchor increases with widening of the diameter at constant dimensional ratio of the cylindrical model. It is demonstrated that the ultimate uplift capacity is dependent on the dimensions of anchors and physico-mechanical properties of soil. Analytical solutions are compared to the results of the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in the computer program Plaxis. The comparison of analytical and numerical solutions has close precision for the magnitude of anchor displacement and ultimate loads.

Interaction between grouted prestressed anchor and surrounding soil body with account for creep and structural shear strength is investigated in this paper. The behavior of the system is described by the modified rheological Bingham-Shvedov equation. It is shown that fixation of initial tension or its periodical variation causes problem of anchor creep and stability, and fixation of initial displacement causes initial stress relaxation of the system “surrounding soil body - anchor - tendon”. The relaxation time significantly depends on elastic-viscoplastic properties of surrounding soil, diameter and length of anchor and tendon, and its elasticity. Account for viscoplastic properties of soil with the structural shear strength leads to residual stresses in the system. The solutions of these problems can be used for quantitative estimation for stress-strain state of the system. This estimation makes it possible to calculate long-term deformation and bearing capacity of anchors, stress relaxation and residual stresses. The problem of interaction between anchor and the surrounding soil is solved in this paper. It is shown that displacement of anchor and stresses in the soil depends on different parameters, such as soil properties, geometrical properties of the anchor, selection of design model and account for ultimate stiffness of the anchor. Also this solution is basic for problems of creep and stress relaxation in the system. The process of formation of the stress-strain state around the anchor could demonstrate decaying, constant or progressive velocity highly depending on rheological processes in the soil body that may at the same time be accompanied by hardening and softening processes.
