Participation of Acting Professor of the Department of "Construction" Shakhmov Zhanbolat Anuarbekovich in the competition "The best innovative development in the field of road construction in the Republic of Kazakhstan" held in honour of the 65th anniversary of the Kazakhstan Road Research Institute
12 April 2024 Acting Professor of the Department of Civil Engineering of L.N. Gumilev ENU participated in the "Best Innovative Development in the field of road construction in the Republic of Kazakhstan" held in honour of the 65th anniversary of the Kazakhstan Road Research Institute. The project entitled "Development of beacons and monitoring system for cement concrete roads" passed the first round among more than 40 submitted projects and was among 15 projects admitted to the second round, which took place on 12 April 2024.
During the competition there were projects related to the development of innovative road materials, scientific research in road construction with speakers from prominent scientists on road construction in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
According to the results of the speech the representative of L.N. Gumilev ENU won a certificate for innovation in the field of Cement-concrete roads in road construction. This project is important because it has a practical application for solving specific problems. In particular, this project solves the problem of warping of cement-concrete slabs as a result of high temperatures in summer. The developed beacons for monitoring of joints of cement concrete roads allow to solve the question connected with prevention of warping problems, research of dynamics of opening of joints, taking measures on development of repair works. The degree of solution of the stated problem will completely solve the issue related to warping of cement concrete slabs of motorways.
