The aim of the Program is to develop, refine and formulate scientifically substantiated investment proposals for multifaceted processes in the fields of urban planning and architecture, bringing them into line with the current socio-economic conditions of the Republic of Armenia and internationally accepted requirements. The main areas of research are: spatial planning, spatial organization of settlements, architecture of residential, public and industrial structures, history of architecture, preservation of architectural, cultural and natural monuments. The results obtained can be introduced into programs implemented by state and local self-government bodies in the Republic of Armenia, as well as be useful for the development of various local and international research works related to the field of urban development and architecture.
- “Maintenance and Development of the Research Laboratory of Construction Problems Mathematical Modelling” program, supervisor: M. Barseghyan.
The aim of the Program is the theoretical study and mathematical modeling of the physicochemical, as well as mechanical properties of materials, which will allow to increase the efficiency of energy saving in the field of construction, expand the opportunities of obtaining new alternative energy, solve the issues of sound insulation of buildings and structures, and develop earthquake-resistant construction. The Program also aims to introduce high technologies, in particular BIM, in buildings and structures, as well as planning models of zero-emission buildings, which will make a great contribution to the development of green architecture and construction.
A PROGRAM THAT WON IN THE COMPETITION FOR SCIENTIFIC TOPICS TO SUPPORT DUAL-USE PROJECTS (2021-2023)
“Design and Production of Defensive Structures Based on New Generation Composite Concretes with Addition of Basalt Fibers and Metal-Carbon Nanostructured Additives” – 37996000 AMD, supervisor of the program: A. Arzumanyan.
The main goal of the Program is to use local raw materials to obtain dual-purpose composite concrete structures that will not be inferior in their main properties to similar foreign ones, will have higher quality indicators, and will be independent from the perspective of material and technical support imported from other countries,while being financially advantageous.
This research will provide a new opportunity to obtain composite concrete with the required properties using exclusively local raw materials, which will make the construction of defense and military structures more efficient.
A PROGRAM THAT WON IN THE COMPETITION FOR PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE MODERNIZATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND MATERIAL-TECHNICAL BASE IN THE FIELD OF SCIENCE ON 2021
“3D Concrete Printer”,- 133000000 AMD, supervisor of the program: Y. Vardanyan
The availability of the device will make it possible to have complex architectural and building structures with composite concrete for the manufacture of various types of defensive shelters both in the civil and military fields. In practice, in addition to conducting research activities, the presented 3D concrete printer can also serve for the field of production. It should be noted that traditional construction is gradually giving way to the so-called “printing” construction, and in this regard, it is necessary to direct NUACA research potential towards modern technological developments. On the other hand, such modern research plays a groundbreaking role in the field of personnel training and improves the professional skills of our graduates.
A PROGRAM THAT WON IN THE COMPETITION OF SCIENTIFIC TOPICS FOR SUPPORTING LEADING RESEARCH (2021-2023)
“Control of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete Using Carbon Nanostructures” – 156000000 AMD, supervisor of the program: M. Barseghyan
The main goal of this Program is to effectively control the physical and mechanical properties of composite concrete using different types of carbon nanostructures. The studies will be conducted using both experimental and theoretical methods.
Our aim is to offer various types of carbon nanotubes, nanofibers, and nanospheres as concrete additives to effectively manage the physical and mechanical properties of concrete, particularly compressive strength, water permeability, rheological properties, thermal conductivity, abrasion resistance, and frost resistance.
The present research will provide a new opportunity to obtain composite concrete, the application of which in construction (as well as military field), in particular in 3D concrete printing technologies, will make it more effective.

A PROGRAM THAT WON IN THE COMPETITION IMPLEMENTED WITH THE THEMATIC FINANCING OF SCIENTIFIC AND SCIENTIFIC-TECHNICAL ACTIVITIES
- “Issues of Reconstruction and Modernization of Residential Development in Yerevan City – 16780000 AMD, supervisor of the program: K. Azatyan –(2021-2024)
The aim of the topic is to conduct a comparative analysis of international and local experience in the reconstruction and modernization of residential construction, as well as to develop scientifically substantiated proposals of practical significance for the further development of this process in Yerevan. Based on the fundamental components of dwelling construction, there are two main research directions: districts, where problems at the construction level should be solved (roads, infrastructure, construction, landscaping) and multi-apartment buildings, where issues at the level of the residential unit element (earthquake-resistance, energy efficiency, aesthetics, engineering systems) should be solved. The work is carried out based on the study of international and local experience, analysis of the current situation and development of proposals aimed at problem-solving. The results obtained can be introduced into programs developed by state and local self-government bodies in Yerevan, as well as will be useful for processes related to the reorganization of residential construction carried out in various cities of the Republic and other countries.
- “Develop a Comprehensive System of Environmental Measures for the Condensation, Conservation and Use of Brandy Waste (Pomace)”, – 15,000,000 AMD, supervisor of the program: S. Sahakyan – (2021-2023)
The aim of the program is to develop new methods for the conservation and use of brandy waste (pomace), which will ensure high economic efficiency and ecological balance of the natural environment. In order to achieve this aim, various distillation methods will be applied and the effect of different degrees of pomace concentration on its qualitative and quantitative properties will be studied. The optimal condensation of pomace concentration will be identified, which will ensure economic efficiency while maintaining its qualitative indicators, the dosages of the condensed pomace will be specified as a chemical ameliorant for the development of saline-alkaline soils, as well as as a fertilizer for regulating the nutritional regime of crops. The possibilities of using pomace concentrate in the process of improving water quality in hydroponic greenhouses will be assessed.
The indicators of the economic efficiency of pomace concentration and usage will be determined.
