Scientific Papers of National University of Architecture and Construction of Armenia
The periodical “Scientific Papers of National University of Architecture and Construction of Armenia” (ISSN 1829-4200) is published by the decision of NUACA Scientific Council. The periodical was founded in 1996. It is published three times a year, with the volume of 15 articles.
Urban green spaces are a critical component for creating a healthy and sustainable urban environment, contributing to microclimate regulation, biodiversity conservation, and the improvement of residents’ quality of life. According to Yerevan’s development plans, green areas cover approximately 30% of the city’s total land area. However, analysis of official data indicates that the actual amount of…
The application of artificial intelligence technologies in the field of design significantly influences both the design process and professional training. Generative algorithms and machine learning–based tools are increasingly employed at various stages of the design process, ranging from conceptual sketching to the presentation of project solutions. However, in educational contexts, their use is…
The article presents a comprehensive set of current issues in the management and preservation of Armenia’s 20th-century architectural heritage. It analyzes the specific features of valuing architectural structures from this period, the effectiveness of legal and administrative mechanisms, as well as the role of professional and public perception in the heritage preservation process. The threats…
The article analyzes modern strategies for the preservation and management of architectural heritage in the context of rapid urban development, globalization, and technological advancement. It discusses the main challenges in the field, including urban pressure, imperfections in legal mechanisms, financial constraints, and a lack of public awareness. In the Republic of Armenia, the rich…
This article discusses the development of a methodology for thermal design of residential buildings, which includes the optimal selection and operation of multi-energy systems integrated with renewable technologies. A model is proposed and evaluated for the systematic application of photovoltaic, solar thermal, and geothermal heat pump technologies. The presented model can serve as an effective…
This paper presents values of classes PG X±Y of bitumen binder for regions of the Republic of Armenia in accordance with the "Superpave" method, which is widely used in global road construction in the field of asphalt concrete mix design. Based on the high and low pavement design temperature temperature, pre-determined for the regions of the Republic of Armenia, the basic values of the bitumen…
This paper presents the results of laboratory investigations conducted to evaluate the effect of incorporating basalt fibers and cement into Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) mixtures obtained during the rehabilitation of asphalt concrete pavements. It was established that, from the standpoint of improving the tensile strength characteristics of the FDR mixture, the optimal parameters are a basalt…
Aerospace imagery is widely used in various fields (environmental monitoring, urban planning, disaster management, etc.); however, automatic object detection from images remains a challenging task. This article explores the application of machine learning and deep learning methods, focusing on their practical implementation and effectiveness. Modern approaches are considered, particularly CNN,…
The effect of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) on braking distance and traffic stability under mountainous conditions is investigated. Based on theoretical analysis, mathematical modeling, and experimental studies, it is shown that the efficiency of ABS operation is mainly determined by the longitudinal road gradient and the type of road surface. The performed calculations are representative of…
This article examines the causes of traffic jams and congestion on Yerevan's road network, analyzes them, and develops solutions. A data-driven and digital modeling approach is proposed to improve traffic management efficiency. Short-, medium-, and long-term measures are proposed, along with a comprehensive parking and smart mobility strategy for the sustainable development of the city's…
