The description developed in а scientific and practical work the author method of expert qualimetric method the value of a city architectural and historical environment, approved by the example of Samara city. Through this method obtained а pragmatic (qualimetric) value pattern. Sociological questionnaire express monitoring allowed to make a mental value pattern. A comparative analysis of the pragmatic and mental value patterns found a significant overlap. Both from the study value patterns are subjective and heavily biased towards the objective value pattern. Thus, the contradiction of objectives and results in the protection of cultural heritage is due to irrelevant ratio objective, mental and pragmatic value pattern of architectural and historical environment.

The article discusses issues related to the need for sustainable development of th-city environment, analyzes the problems arising in the process of formation of modern standards of energy efficiency and sustainability of affordable mass housing in Russia. Lighting beauty rich experience of Hong Kong in the use of green technologies during construction and operation of high-rise complexes, public housing, site improvement, development of public infrastructure, as well as criteria certification based on the level of environmental efficiency. Specifics of using different types of renewable energy, the active planting areas, protection measures against noise and innovative design approaches in terms of high-density development when the inclusion of residential units in the urban environment is based on the collection and comprehensive processing of large amount of information, covering architectural design, engineering, technological, economic and other aspects.

Discusses the abstract category of form, i.e. the phenomenon of «separation» binary formulas «function-form» in the interests of the form not at the level of abstract reasoning and generally accepted, and in the discourse it is valid and productive to the project method of substantionally. Therefore, the author proposes to legalize an abstract form as an artistic genre and a specific type of models, although the actual application of these models emerged in the era of the propaedeutic experiments of the Bauhaus and the VKhUTEMAS. Developed by the author for composite design method abstract form (form as a separate substance activity) means a fundamental prerequisite for the reconstruction of architectural activity in a holistic relationship to the landscape and development as relevant to the profession’s reality of the author.

This article deals with the problem of water and thermal regime of subgrade of the road in the far north. The measures to regulate water and thermal regime of soil of roadbed are described. An experimental study to evaluate the effect of the waterproof materials on the temperature and humidity regime of the road construction. The tasks, aimed at identifying patt erns of change in the physical and mechanical characteristics and the migration of moisture in the subgrade of the road and in the active layer of permafrost, reinforced waterproof element, are set.

The state of surface and underground sources, networks and installations of drinking water supply facilities and networks of water disposal systems in the Volga region on the example of Togliatti. Priorities are defined in accordance with the strategy of socio-economic development of Samara region for the period up to 2020 carried out ecological and statistical analysis of supply sources; technological analysis of the treatment and transportation of drinking water, status of feeder pipelines and the degree of their accidents, leaks; technological analysis of the operation of the networks and structures of drainage systems. It was noted that increased levels of anthropogenic pollution of drinking water sources, significant wear of facilities and equipment the water sector, the lack of a backup water source (Avtozavodskiy district) determine the urgency of the problem to guarantee the residents with clean drinking water and dispose of it in the priorities of socio-economic development in Togliatti. Noted that organization of joint actions of bodies of Executive and legislative authorities, enterprises of the water sector, investors, technical experts, the population of the city to create in the water sector efficient, qualitatively new, modern forms and methods of management. The magnitude of the problem determines the need to develop programs using program-target solutions of complex organizational-technical, legal, economic, social and other tasks and events, providing conditions for its implementation.

Considered run-of-river hydropower plants (HPP). Notes the importance of technical-economic calculations in the justifi cation of large water-conducting elements of the path these types of HPP. The methodology of economic substantiation of the expediency of increasing the length of the draft tube. Using the technique of the calculations for lowpressure hydroelectric run-of-river type. The results of the analysis of the influence of the operating conditions of the hydroelectric power station on basic geometrical parameters of draft tube.

The paper describes the technology of passive degassing of solid municipal waste landfill facilities. When landfill gas penetrates into the environment it causes negative effects. The described method is used to prevent uncontrolled emission of landfill gas into atmosphere. Passive degassing of solid municipal waste landfill is carried out with the help of a chain of gas draining boreholes. The technique for calculating the chain of gas draining boreholes and their structural design has been given.

The paper thoroughly investigates the composition, structure and properties of road bitumen malthenes. It describes the infl uence of the nature of raw materials and ways of their processing on the deformation properties of the binderm and the infl uence of quantitative relation of malthenes faction hydrocarbons of their structural characteristics.
