The paper presents a fragment of on-going investigations directed on creation of optimum data environment that ensures an access to world scientific journals and other publications which are necessary for qualitative implementation of works on priority directions of R&D in the field of road-construction industry in the period of 2016–2020. A citation analysis has been applied while using data of Journal Citation Reports for selection of world scientific serial publiccations which are necessary for execution of investigations on heat and mass transfer in road dressings. The road dressings are considered as open heterogeneous thermodynamic systems. Their deformations occur under various climatic conditions due to heat and mass transfer processes and interaction of transport flows and road surface. Crack formation takes place in depth of the road dressings and on road surfaces as a result of temperature, mass transfer processes. As it is known material structure of constructive layers especially which are created with the help of technogenic wastes (asphalt-concrete, concrete, reinforced concrete scrap and products of its recycling, brick rubble, various wastes of production etc.) influence on heat and mass transfer. The paper presents results of investigations on heat flows, boundary layers according to air viscosity, velocity of geometric permeability characteristics, capillary pressures in road pavements.

The article addresses the issues of structure formation of road composite materials containing hydraulic (рortland cement) and organic (bitumen) binders. It has been determined that organic and hydraulic binders, being thermodynamically incompatible, are capable of interaction and complement each other. Structure formation processes are associated with interphase transition layers interaction mechanism and the direct formation of phase contacts with cement crystallohydrates. The interphase boundary is diffuse and is established through interphase transition layers. The emergence of interfacial layers is thermodynamically advantageous, since it contributes to a decrease in Gibbs free energy and does not contradict modern concepts of solid state physics. It was established that with cement content of about 30 % of complex bitumen-cement binder volume, there will appear (nucleate) phase contacts that will prevail in the binder structure when the cement content is more than 60 %. In the case phase contacts prevail, concrete will demonstrate significant strength at high temperatures, but low temperature and fatigue crack resistance, which will lead to their durability loss. The cement content of 30–40 % of the total complex binder can be considered optimal.

Fulfillment of the activities aimed to an increase of the thermal resistance of enclosing structures requires the determination of their thermophysical characteristics with the use of the determination method based on the solution of problems of heat conduction, establishing the con- nection between the spatial and temporal temperature changes under the effect of heat source. This work uses the solution of the problem under nonstationary heating of the enclosing structure in the form of unrestricted plate with boundary conditions of the III kind. According to the known relations and graphs alterations in surface temperature depending on warm-up time, on thermal resistance of constructions and on arguments of Fo and Bi, i. e. initial and boundary conditions are determined. The graphic dependencies that have been obtained show that the surface temperature depends on the thermal resistance, while the temperature at the opposite surface during heat expo- sure remains practically unchanged during t = 5 h. Thus, if the outside air temperature is altered, then the rate of change of surface temperature or relative temperature q make it possible to deter- mine the thermophysical characteristics by solving the inverse problem of thermal conductivity with the use of the converted ratio to determine R as a function R = f(q, t). If the constructed graphic dependencies R = f(q, t) are used at different heat transfer coefficients, then according to the measured temperatures at different time intervals it is possible to determine thermal resistance in the same time intervals and, according to their average value, determine the required resistance to heat transfer R. The estimated ratio of analytical and graphic dependencies that we have obtained demonstrate the adequacy of the conducted full-scale measurements, if the areas with homogeneous temperature field and temperature history are chosen, and they can be used in determining the heat resistance of the enclosing structure in the form of unrestricted plate with boundary conditions of the III kind.

The paper presents main trends in growth and generation of waste, depending on increase of world GDP and the population of the planet. The main directions in extending the concept of national strategies for sustainable development have been considered with due account of energy and resource conservation problems, as well as the need for the rational use of natural and secondary resources in all countries of the world community. The energy potential use of combustible waste that has not found technological application is considered by many countries as one of the priority areas in the field of unconventional energy. The paper describes the main directions in application of the technology for briquetting multicomponent compositions into solid fuel. The developed production technology makes it possible to process waste products by briquetting them with the addition of various binders, and on the example of a binder component in the form of viscous hydrocarbon-containing waste, the main technological features of obtaining solid multicomponent fuel are presented in the paper. The paper describes the equipment for electrohydraulic treatment, which operates as a part of the preparation line for briquetting of the applied oily waste and that allows to reduce the sulphur content in the waste used, and such approach in general permits to regulate the environmental characteristics of harmful substance emissions at the maximum acceptable level. Taking into account the application aspects of the technology for wet briquetting of materials, the paper reflects the main results of the obtained dependences of humidity on productivity according to the content of the binder component. The proposed algorithm for solving the problem makes it possible to rationally use of substandard combustible industrial waste to obtain a multicomponent solid fuel, while at the production stage, the energy and environmental aspects of the resulting fuel are taken into account  with due consideration of the component composition of the fuel.
