KSUAE took part in the conference "Reconstruction and restoration of architectural heritage"

On March 25-28, 2025, the head of the KSUAE Department of Reconstruction, Restoration of Architectural Heritage and the Fundamentals of Architecture, Doctor of Architecture, Professor H.G. Nadyrova and Associate Professor of the Department A.T. Karimova took part in the V National (All-Russian) Scientific and Practical Conference with International Participation "Reconstruction and Restoration of Architectural Heritage". The conference was held at the St. Petersburg University of Architecture and Civil Engineering.

The conference was organized into sections:

Section 1. Preservation and restoration of cultural heritage sites - buildings and structures. Historical schools of restoration. Section 2. Monumental art in architecture and urban planning.

Section 3. Engineering aspects of restoration and adaptation for modern use of cultural heritage sites - architectural monuments.

Section 4. Experience of practical restoration and modern materials. Professor Nadyrova Khanifa Gabidullovna presented a report entitled “Architectural elements and details of buildings as objects of research and preservation of the identity of the development of the Old Tatar settlement of Kazan.”

Albina Karimova devoted her presentation to the topic of the dissertation research "Experience of research and restoration of buildings of the complex "Kazan military hospital".

In addition to specialists in the field of training personnel in the field of architectural restoration, the conference was attended by specialists in the field of architectural restoration (architects-restorers, technologists, designers, engineers), representatives of government agencies in the field of protection of historical and cultural heritage, non-profit organizations involved in the protection of historical heritage, and manufacturers of restoration materials.

KSUAE international students took part in the spring holiday "Navruz"

On March 22, 2025, Kazan hosted the Republican holiday "Navruz", which in Farsi means "new day", and symbolizes the arrival of spring and the beginning of the new year for the Turkic and Iranian peoples. Representatives of different cultures and nationalities living in Tatarstan gathered at one site to present their cultures, traditions and national dishes.

KSUAE International students from Turkey, Mauritania, Ecuador, Côte d'Ivoire, Madagascar, Turkmenistan, Tunisia took part in the festive events. During a bright multinational concert program, they listened to performances by creative groups demonstrating traditional songs, dances, outfits and costumes. They actively danced to national music, took part in interactive games, and also purchased souvenirs at a large-scale exhibition and fair of folk crafts and trades. The students were treated to one of the main dishes of the holiday - pilaf, prepared according to various recipes of the Turkic peoples, and the traditional drink "Sumalak" from ground sprouted wheat grains.

Some students are already familiar with the traditions of celebrating Navruz in their countries, for example, in Turkey and Turkmenistan, but all without exception were pleasantly surprised by the scale of the holiday in Tatarstan, the diversity and brightness of the cultures represented and expressed a great desire to participate in similar events in the future.

KSUAE Master student developed a program for selecting the grade of bitumen according to the PG system

Danif Samatov, a Master student of the KSUAE Department of Digital Road Technologies, has developed a program for selecting a bitumen binder grade according to PG.The BitOptima program he developed automates the process of selecting the optimal bitumen binder grade according to the PG system based on calculations of adjusted temperatures of pavement layers. It takes into account climatic data, the thickness of material layers and loads, helping engineers quickly select the appropriate material. Thanks to this, errors are eliminated and calculation time is reduced.

PG (Performance Grade) is a classification system for road bitumens based on their performance characteristics at different temperatures. Unlike previously used standards that determine the bitumen grade by viscosity or penetration, the PG system takes into account real climatic conditions and loads to which the road surface is subjected. The PG classification includes two temperature indicators: high (for example, PG 76) and low (for example, -22), which indicates the range of temperatures in which the bitumen retains its properties. This approach allows the use of materials that are resistant to deformation at high temperatures and cracking at low temperatures.

PG bitumens are widely used in road construction, especially in the design of asphalt concrete pavements for highways, airfields and other objects with high loads. They allow to extend the service life of roads, reduce repair costs and adapt the pavement to specific climatic conditions of the region.
