Abstract
A multidimensional gravitational model containing scalar fields and antisymmetric forms is considered. The manifold is chosen in the form M = M0 × M1 × ... × Mn, where Mi are Einstein spaces (i ≥ 1). The sigma-model approach and exact solutions with intersecting composite branes (e.g. solutions with harmonic functions, S-brane and black brane ones) with intersection rules related to non-singular Kac-Moody (KM) algebras (e.g. hyperbolic ones) are reviewed. Some examples of solutions, e.g. corresponding to hyperbolic KM algebras: H2(q,q), AE3, HA2(1), E10 and Lorentzian KM algebra P10 are presented.

Key words: Kac-Moody algebras; S-branes; black branes; sigma-model; Toda chains.
