Project supervisor is head of the chair of technology of building materials and metrology of the Faculty of civil engineering of Saint Petersburg state university of architecture and civil engineering Yury V. Pukharenko.
“Topic for my graduation thesis was proposed by the Committee for engineering and was developed upon Saint Petersburg government request. The Contest is aimed at development of our city in area improvement. I made a work in development of a new material – fiber concrete gypsum partition block. There were made tests and basing on them there was developed concrete, reinforced with fiber cellulose. For production of this material fiber it is used fiber cellulose from paper wastage. As this material is economy safe it was decided to manufacture cellulose wool’. Then I developed a project of plant producing wall panels made of this material. Thus, new material and manufacture plant were developed” – said Aida Akhmetshina, contest participant representing Saint Petersburg state university of architecture and civil engineering.
