PATH OF LIFE
Leonid Martynenko was born on November 7, 1942 (Chernihiv region).
In 1986 he defended his dissertation on construction materials and obtained PhD degree.
He took part in the elimination of consequences of the accident at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and has a Certificate of liquidator of Chernobyl disaster of the 1st category.
WORKING PATH
After graduating from the Kyiv Automobile Road Institute in 1970, he started his career at our Institute as an engineer in complex mechanization of Road Construction and Repairing Works Department. In 1975 he was appointed as a Head of the laboratory for testing of construction materials, that was certified 2 years later and together with laboratories of other institutes, performed orders for testing of construction materials not only for the departments of the Institute, but for the third parties also. In 1977, the laboratory started the development of scientific topics - road cement concretes.
In 1980 he headed the Road Structures Repairing Department, which was organized on the basis of central laboratory for road construction materials testing.
SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS
One of the activities of the department was the introduction of pneumatic spraying (shotcreting) technology in the repairing of road structures. Under Martynenko direct management the technology of concrete road constructions protection by the method of shotcreting was developed for the first time in Ukraine. The equipment developed and manufactured for this purpose was used practically in all of regions of Ukraine. The method of shotcreting proved its effectiveness on the most important bridges and overpasses of Ukraine, in repairing of curb edged concrete slabs on the road of 1st category Kyiv-Boryspil and during the construction of a unique memorial complex at the Baikove cemetery in Kyiv.
Also, a great credit of Martynenko consists in the development and implementation of technologies for cement-concrete structures protection by applying of polymer concrete and use of polymeric materials for waterproofing and repairing of bridges and overpasses.
Under his leadership the modifying, air-repellent, plasticizing additives to the concrete were developed.
He is an author of more than 39 printed articles.
AWARDS
Leonid Martynenko was awarded by “Honorary Road Worker” Award in honor of the 85th anniversary of the Institute.
