Abstract

Among many tasks to be done by the state, the most significant is a social-economic one i.e. provision of its citizens with affordable, long-lasting, energy- efficient and economical housing. One of the ways of doing the given task is the application of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) structures, for the elements of a building, of circular, square or rectangular type. It is also possible to use such structures not only for a new housing stock but in the reconstruction of present one at the expense of additional storeys (about 20); without demolition and total resettlement of tenants of the house under reconstruction. Alongside with this, there is an opportunity to increase total area of residential houses and make new types of comfortable place of various purpose.
