1. Introduction
Today, many countries of the world are facing a significant shortage of specialists, analysts with the knowledge and skills to solve practical problems, including in the field of construction, using modern digital technologies, mathematical methods and computer modeling. Our time is marked by the rapid development of digital information technologies. Artificial intelligence is playing an increasing role in construction, improving building technologies, making them more productive and reliable. Their application at all stages of the life cycle of buildings and structures is the purposeful processing and analysis of large flows of information with the coordinated application of mathematics, computer modeling and artificial intelligence. Attracting methods of machine learning, reinforcement learning requires the active use of modern areas of applied mathematics: numerical-analytical and numerical methods, probability theory and statistics, tensor calculus, etc. Modern specialists working in this direction know methods of mathematical and computer modeling, and also know how to generate and offer their own solutions to important practical, engineering problems, including those in the field of construction.
Example topics of Master theses:
- Deep learning algorithm for diagnosing and classifying defects in reinforced concrete structures;- Modeling of damping properties of building structures made of composite and nanomaterials under dynamic loads;- Numerical-analytical solution for the problem of thermal physics in construction;- Mathematical and computer modeling in the basis and composition of monitoring systems for unique buildings and structures - theoretical foundations, software impleentation and examples of use;- Machine learning in advanced systems for monitoring buildings and structures;- Mathematical (numerical) modeling of related problems of aeroelasticity (on the example of flexible large-span and/or high-rise structures);- Determination of calculated snow loads on large-span structures based on the numerical solution of three-dimensional problems of building aerodynamics.
