      Scientific direction of department is related to development of analytical and numerical methods of calculation of constructions, researches the stressed-deformed state of structurally heterogeneous constructions under the action of load and temperature factors. The applied specified theories are developed. It is researched the constructions such as plates and shells, one-layer and multi-layer, which made from composite materials. The calculations of constructions of transport buildings – bridges, road and airdrome pavement – are performed. There are created methods of calculation of metallic constructions for road building, lifting’s and transport machines. It is investigated stressed-deformed state of crane of large carrying capacity, trailers for transporting of overall dimensions build techniques. The deformations of series of shells of spaceships aerials are investigated.
