We are happy to announce that representatives of Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent are undergoing an international training course within the project Erasmus Plus CBHE: Establishment of training and research centers and courses development on “Intelligent Big Data Analysis (IBDA) in Central Asia – ELBA at The Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies of the University of Primorska, Koper, Slovenia. The project is offering multidisciplinary package of the module based courses, disciplines “Intelligent Big Data Analysis” (IBDA) that will be implemented to the existing bachelor and master programs, to the advanced training specialists.

Within the framework of the project, the academic potential of Central Asian universities in the field of teaching and using IBDA technologies and related software is being strengthened by European experts.

Assessment of seismic stability of historical monuments is one of the big challenges faced by many civil engineers. This is because historical monuments are sophisticated in nature and made of comprehensive architectural elements such as domes, arches, beam roofs, facades, ornamental frames and rosettes. Computer modeling of these unique monuments with these geometric figures are not always easy. But this issue may be resolved with the usage of tools in Building Information Modeling and workflows.  

Digital Architecture Team has organized a demo project to assess the seismic stability of Ash-Shoshiy Mausoleum in Khasti Imom Complex in Tashkent. First of all, the interior and exterior sides of Mausoleum were scanned with the usage of FARO M70 instrument and all point clouds were registered. Then Sketch Up and Revit model was constructed by using registered point clouds. In Revit model, properties of construction materials of Mausoleum are also provided.

In the final stage, Revit model of Mausoleum was uploaded to LIRA 10 software with its material properties to assess seismic stability. Next, acquired solid experience will be used in historic cities of Uzbekistan.

In the fall of 2021, Digital Architecture Team (DAT) of Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent (TTPU) joined the “Traditional Bukharian Jewish Houses” project in the city of Bukhara to bring its own technical expertise to a unique project implemented by the International Institute for Central Asian Studies (IICAS) and Bukhara National University. Its funding comes from the World Monuments Fund (WMF). 

The aim of the project is to utilize the latest digital technologies for electronic documentation and creating the best conservation practice guidelines for Bukharian Traditional Jewish Houses. 

The first phase of the project was conducted from 25 of September and the first day of October of 2021 in the historical areas of Bukhara.  

Only a cohort of students joined DAT under the strong leadership of professors from Civil Engineer and Architecture Department at TTPU in a joint collaboration with a specialist of IICAS. So far, the project members successfully reached the objectives put forward in the first phase of the project. 

The objectives were both to survey the three traditional Jewish Houses and to document them electronically with the usage of FARO M70 terrestrial laser scanner and other geodetic surveying instruments. It should be noted that these geodetic instruments were purchased in the framework of ERAMCA project which stands for Environmental Risk Assessment And Mitigation On Cultural Heritage Assets In Central Asia https://eramca.com/. 

The second phase of the project is to be conducted in the summer of 2022 within the historical part of Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Details of the process of research and structural modeling of buildings.

On December 23, an annual poster presentation was held at Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent. Ph.D. students of the university who study at the Department of “Mechanical Engineering” and Aerospace Engineering” and  “Architecture and Civil Engineering” presented their report presentations to professors and teachers of the university on the results of their work for 2021. This is the second poster presentation of these doctoral students. It was noted that this year everything went at a higher level, doctoral students were more confident and much better-answered questions about their work.

Students of Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent prepared a model with changes in the helmet used in special forces of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Uzbekistan. This model allows to install a flashlight (night light), night vision, a laser device and a camera. All additional tools were prepared using 3D printers.

In order to determine the condition of the soldier, a multifunctional meta monitoring device is connected to the body armor. As a result, the soldier’s heart rate and temperature are determined using a device connected to the ECG module, and the location information is sent to the monitoring database using a GPS device.

Also, tuning was done to AK74 with additions, the plastic was attached to a molded convenient device using a 3D printer. With this device, you can install lasers, flashlights and binoculars. An additional gripping device has also been installed to make it easier to hold.

On the occasion of the 29th anniversary of the Constitution day and the World Anti-Corruption day on December 9, a roundtable discussion on “Transparency in the Prosecutor’s Office” was held on December 9 in the conference hall of our university. The guests of the event were senior prosecutors of the office of the Prosecutor general of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Kurbanova Mohira Jaylavovna and Mamarahimova Shahodat Yusupovna. They informed our youth about the mutual rights and obligations of the individual, society and the state in the Constitution and their guarantees, the reforms based on social protection during the pandemic time. They also provided evidence that corruption is an obstacle to the development of any society. Another guest of the event, Eshkulov Mardonbek, deputy head of the department for Youth affairs of Educational Institutions, spoke about the ongoing reforms in the field of youth policy, and gave detailed answers and instructions to the questions of students. 

In accordance with paragraph № 7 of the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated July 30, 2020 № PP-4794 “On measures to radically improve the system for ensuring seismic safety of the population and the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan” at Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent was created a scientific and technical laboratory for the experimental study of buildings and structures.

In accordance with the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On the introduction of  system for assessing the seismic resistance of buildings and structures and formation of electronic technical passports” on December 4-6, 2021, professors, researchers and specialists of the university with the help of special equipment collected all the necessary data to assess the seismic resistance of a 13-story house located on Alisher Navoi Avenue in Andijan. At the same time, a digital model of the building was created using a German-made Faro Focus M70 laser scanner. Three-dimensional data of the structure were obtained, which will be used to create a digital model using a special computer program (Lira CAD) and an analysis of seismic resistance with the necessary loads and parameters.

To determine the building’s response to external vibrations, accelerometers were installed on each of the four floors to measure seismic vibrations along three axes. In this way, data were collected to study the response of the building to certain vibrations and external dynamic vibrations. Special equipment Metal Detector, Hummer Schimdt, Profometer were used to collect such data as the thickness of the reinforcement used in the building foundation, the thickness of the concrete foundation, the concrete grade.

Currently, the collected data are being analyzed by professors and researchers of the Scientific and Technical Laboratory for Experimental Research of Buildings and Structures at Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent.

In accordance with the protocol of the meeting № 51, held on September 21, 2021 under the chairmanship of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Uzbekistan dedicated to measures for the preparation and conduct of the presidential elections of the Republic of Uzbekistan at the highest level, employees and teachers of the university took an active part in the election campaign, which took place from 5 to October 15 of this year among the population of the “Chimboy” and “Gulzor” makhallas of the Almazar region.
