Strength evaluation of concrete elements with non-metallic reinforcement under short-term dynamic compression [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
The article presents a method for calculating the strength of concrete elements with non-metallic fiber, rod and external reinforcement. The algorithm and the calculation program are shown, which are based on the use of a nonlinear deformation model of ...

Thermal resistance of masonry walls: a literature review on influence factors, evaluation, and improvement

open access: yesJournal of Building Physics, 2021
Increasing the thermal resistance of masonry wall systems is one of the effective ways to reduce energy consumption in the operation of masonry buildings. This increase is also demanded by newer, more stringent energy codes.

Influence of Concrete Shrinkage on the Behavior of Carbon Short-Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (CSFRC) under Tension

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Carbon short-fiber-reinforced concrete (CSFRC) is a novel material obtained by adding and mixing carbon fibers into fresh concrete. In this way, the concrete behavior is changed, and concrete no longer undergoes brittle failure under tension ...

On the effects of modified lane configuration due to construction works on bridge loading

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022
Construction works are frequently recurring events within highway networks, temporarily altering the characteristics of the traffic flow and hence of the bridge loading process. Consequently, highway bridge superstructures usually carrying unidirectional

Out-of-plane dynamic response of a tuff masonry wall. Shaking table testing and numerical simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The out-of-plane dynamic response of a masonry element is investigated, both experimentally and numerically. The results of shaking table tests on a tuff masonry wall, subjected to harmonic acceleration histories, are presented.

Analysis of Deflections of Bridge Girders Strengthened by Carbon Fibre Reinforcement

open access: yesThe Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2008
The paper deals with experimental and theoretical investigations in reinforced concrete structures strengthened with carbon fibre sheets. Four stages in the behaviour of concrete structures strengthened with the carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) are

Determination of Stiffness of the Connections of Composite Steel and Concrete Bridge Deck by the Limit Permissible Deflections

open access: yesThe Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2013
The composite steel and concrete structures are used for constructing bridge floors and others buildings. The joint action of composite structures as well as their economic efficiency depends on the connection between the layers, i.e.

Assessment of structures repeatedly exposed to thermal loading and extinguishing water: a case study of a firefighting training facility

open access: yesActa Polytechnica, 2023
When designing a new structure or assessing an existing one, the risk of fire and its effect on the structure must be considered. Structures are usually assessed for fire resistance at the design stage – i.e. before the possible exposure to fire.
