Durability of FRP Reinforcements and Long-Term Properties
Slovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2020 Although fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have achieved increasing popularity in strengthening concrete structures and reinforcing new ones, there is to date insufficient knowledge about their long-term behavior.

Experimental Investigation of the Shear Resistance of Concrete Hinges Under a Biaxial Load
Slovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2020 Concrete hinges can withstand extremely high loads and rotations, while requiring only minimal maintenance. Their use is widespread, mainly in bridge construction, but they also find applications in the prefabrication of tunnel segments.

Research focused on low carbonation of concrete under old cement-based render
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 In-situ research and laboratory study of the concrete of old bridges shows that despite the low strength classes of concrete and the long time of exposure to CO2, it is possible to moderate the depth of their carbonation.

Connections and Joints in Precast Concrete Structures
Slovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2020 The structural integrity of precast concrete structures mainly depends on the connections between the precast structural elements. The purpose of a connection is to transfer loads, restrain movement, and/or to provide stability to a component or an ...

Comparison of methods for evaluation the resistance of slender columns strengthened with CFRP strips [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThis paper focuses on strengthening slender columns using CFRP (Carbon-Fibre Reinforced Polymer) strips, emphasizing the inclusion of their contribution to the overall resistance. For slender columns, second-order effects must be considered.
