Creative performance by the student teaching team "Orbita" (SPbSUT)

The 12th District Student Team Rally of the Northwestern Federal District took place in St. Petersburg from October 9–11. SPbGASU was one of the host venues.

The gathering was organized by the St. Petersburg regional branch of the Russian Student Brigades, with the participation of the St. Petersburg Committee for Youth Policy and Interaction with Public Organizations and the Vector Center for the Support of Youth Initiatives. The student brigades headquarters, with the support of the Youth Policy Department, acted as organizers on behalf of our university.

According to Polina Yurkova, head of the press center for the SPbGASU student team headquarters, the event brought together more than 70 people from St. Petersburg, the Leningrad Region, Arkhangelsk, Pskov, Veliky Novgorod, Kaliningrad, the Republic of Karelia, and the Komi Republic.

Activists competed in professional skills competitions among archaeological and pedagogical student teams, participated in a quiz, and discussed the development vector of student teams in the district as part of the business program.

The members of the teaching teams completed a test on counseling activities; solved cases on first aid and safety; developed and presented interactive forms of working with children; and performed creative team performances.

Evgeniya Sidorova, a student at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPbGASU) from the "Freedom" student pedagogical group, performed a dance routine alongside other fighters. "I witnessed the high-quality organization of this large event. The highlight for me was our performance. The support both backstage and in the audience was incredible!" she said.

Members of the archaeological teams competed in their ability to divide an excavation into squares (divide the excavation site into squares for the sequential study of the cultural layer), sift the spoil heap (dug-up earth) to search for small finds, work with a level (a geodetic instrument for measuring the difference in height between points on the earth's surface), describe the stratigraphy (the sequence of soil layers in a section), and describe the finds.

Akim Kovalchuk, a student at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering and the head of the student archaeological team "Lin," won the competition: "During the season, we mostly worked with a shovel and an archaeological shovel, sometimes measuring layers with a level. During the competition, I had to work with a sieve and create a stratigraphic chart. I'd never done this before, but I succeeded!"

Sofia Raikova, a student at the M.V. Lomonosov Northern (Arctic) Federal University and leader of the Labyrinth student archaeological team, reconnected with old acquaintances: "There's always a friendly atmosphere among archaeological teams. It was interesting to hear stories about field expeditions, discoveries, and each team's traditions. I also wanted to try my hand at the competition and gain new knowledge to share with my team."

The Protection of the Holy Mother of God: a great feast and the beginning of the Polytechnic University's journey

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On October 14, Orthodox Christians celebrate one of the great feasts of the twelve feasts – the Protection of the Holy Mother of God.

The holiday is based on the legend of the miraculous salvation of Christians from a pagan invasion in Constantinople in the mid-10th century. The city was besieged by enemies, and people gathered in the Blachernae Church to pray. Among them was Andrew, the fool-for-Christ from Constantinople. According to his life, he was the first to see the Mother of God walking across the sky, surrounded by saints and angels. The Most Pure One began to pray for the salvation of Christians, and then spread a maphorion—a woman's veil covering her head and shoulders—over them. According to legend, a storm arose that night, and the enemy ships retreated from Constantinople without a fight.

This is how the Feast of the Intercession of the Mother of God came into being. On this day, believers celebrate the spiritual protection that the Mother of God provides to all those in need and disadvantaged.

For Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, the Feast of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin has a special, symbolic significance. Until 2018, it was celebrated on October 1st according to the Julian calendar then in use in the Russian Empire. In 1902, it was on October 1st, the Feast of the Intercession, that the consecration of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute took place. The clergy of the Novosiltsevskaya Church held a service in the assembly hall, and the building was sprinkled with holy water. At the opening ceremony, the government was represented by Pyotr Mikhailovich Romanov, the head of the Ministry of Finance, deputy minister, and privy councilor, who declared the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute open.

On behalf of all those present at the service, Pyotr Mikhailovich sent a telegram to Emperor Nicholas II, who was in Livadia at the time: "Today, the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute, erected by the will of Your Imperial Majesty, was consecrated—classes will begin there tomorrow. The director, professors, and students of the institute ask me to lay at the feet of Your Imperial Majesty their feelings of boundless devotion and gratitude for the gift of an institution of higher learning, so generously endowed by Your Highest Grace, and to report to Your Majesty that they will make every effort to fulfill their duty and dedicate themselves to the cause of good education. I humbly submit this to Your Imperial Majesty."

The next day, before classes began, Grigory Petrov, the artillery school's religious teacher and preacher, held a prayer service in the assembly hall. Then, Andrei Gagarin, the institute's director, addressed the students. Here's an excerpt from his speech: "You are the first; with your participation, the traditions of our institute will be established. Therefore, strive to ensure that it becomes a proud and stable member of its elder brothers. For its life to flow correctly, you must consciously exercise self-discipline. Follow the institute's rules and the instructions of myself and the faculty. Feel free to contact us if you have any difficulties. In us, you will always find support and assistance."

The first lecture on theoretical mechanics for students in the technical departments was given by Ivan Vsevolodovich Meshchersky, the founder of the mechanics of variable systems and a member of the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society. In one of the larger auditoriums, Professor Alexander Sergeevich Posnikov gave a lecture on political economy to students in the economics department.

On October 2, 1902, the Polytechnic received a telegram from Emperor Nicholas II in Livadia: "I sincerely wish success to the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute, which opened today, and I thank the director, professors, teachers, and students for the sentiments they have all expressed." Nicholas.

Ten years later, on June 6 (June 19, new style), 1912, a church was laid at the Emperor Peter the Great Polytechnic Institute in honor of the Feast of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin—the institute's opening day. The church was consecrated on December 15 (December 28, new style), 1913. Today, it is an active church at the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

SPbGASU faculty presented their research at a conference on earthquake-resistant engineering.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

From October 5 to 11, the 16th Russian National Conference on Earthquake-Resistant Construction and Seismic Zoning was held in Sochi. The conference addressed such topical issues as seismic design standards in different countries, seismic protection, software calculations, and more. The earthquake that occurred in Kamchatka on July 30 became a high-profile topic. Experts discussed the results of seismic stations during the earthquake, the minute-by-minute occurrence of events, and concluded that the seismic event had been successfully managed.

The conference was attended by scientists and engineers from across Russia, as well as from Pakistan, India, New Zealand, Iran, Nepal, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. SPbGASU was represented by faculty from the Faculty of Civil Engineering.

Nadezhda Ostrovskaya, PhD, Associate Professor of the Structural Mechanics Department, spoke at the "Seismic Isolation and Other Innovative Systems and Technologies for Seismic Protection" session, where she discussed the design and calculation methods for plastic dampers. She noted the enormous scientific contribution to the development of structural mechanics made by Professor Yuri Rutman, who recently passed away: "Yuri Lazarevich was a very gifted and prolific scientist. Within the walls of SPbGASU, he nurtured more than ten PhD candidates and specialists in earthquake engineering. He established a scientific school on seismic isolation, specifically plastic dampers of various configurations, which I will strive to continue. Yuri Lazarevich's contribution cannot be overestimated." The presentation was dedicated to the publication of the monograph "Plastic Dampers: Design, Calculation, Experiment" in 2025.

Olga Nesterova, PhD, Associate Professor of the Department of Structural Mechanics, presented a paper at the "Application of CAD and Computational Modeling in the Design of Buildings and Structures" section on the consideration of vibration mode correlation in seismic impact analysis. "As part of my research on dynamic vibration dampers for seismic protection of buildings and structures, I discussed an important factor that must be considered in earthquake impact analysis: vibration mode correlation. This is the influence of vibration modes on each other, and failure to consider this can lead to incorrect conclusions when assessing the seismic resistance of buildings and structures." The main conclusion of the study was that there are a number of structures for which consideration of correlation is essential in the analysis. It was proposed to introduce recommendations on how to consider correlation into standards.

Professor Sergey Savin, Doctor of Engineering, Department of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Structures at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, moderated the section "New Design Solutions, Reinforced Concrete, Metal, and Steel Structures. Design, Construction, and Design of Earthquake-Resistant Buildings and Structures, Earthquake-Resistant High-Rise Buildings. Features, Problems, and Challenges of Safe Design and Construction." He also presented his own paper on "Verification of Design Models for Large-Span Shell Roofs Based on Their Dynamic Parameters Determined During Free-Vibration Testing." Sergey Nikolaevich focused on the A.P. Chekhov Sakhalin International Theatre Center, located in the earthquake-prone city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. During the discussion, the experts concluded that this method is highly effective.

This section also featured Sergey Tetushkin, an assistant professor in the Department of Structural Mechanics, who presented a paper on "Improving the Analytical Method for Calculating the First Mode of Natural Vibrations of Building Structures Using a Correction Factor." In his paper, Sergey shared some experimental and theoretical results from studies of a cantilever model of building structures with five concentrated masses, which, according to the regulatory document SP 14.13330.2018, is required for seismic impact analysis. These studies were conducted jointly with the Center for Integrated Seismic Testing.

Another participant in this section affiliated with our university was Sergei Mikhailenko, a graduate of the Leningrad Civil Engineering Institute (LISI, now SPbGASU), who presented a paper titled "Design of Facade and Window Structures." He shared his experience using translucent structures in Canada and presented SPbGASU representatives with his monograph, "The Practice of Constructing Translucent Facades and Other Glass Building Structures Based on Experience in North America."

At the "Fire Safety of Buildings and Structures. Seismic and Fire Safety of Building Structures and Materials" section, Don State Technical University Professor Lyubov Morgun, in her report "Foam Concrete for Improving the Seismic and Fire Safety of Buildings," paid tribute to "outstanding LISI scientist" Professor Igor Aleksandrovich Lobanov and presented the author's certificate "Raw Material Mix for Obtaining Cellular Concrete," obtained by I. A. Lobanov and Yu. V. Pukharenko in 1981.

Tatyana Belash, Doctor of Engineering, Advisor to the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences, and Consulting Professor of the Department of Metal and Wood Structures at St. Petersburg State University of Civil Engineering (SPbGASU), served as one of the conference organizers. As is traditional, the conference concluded with a roundtable discussion of pressing issues related to seismic impact design standards, highlighting the undeniable relevance of the issues discussed and the importance of the results obtained through the research presented at the event.
