Digital documentation of railway tunnel inspection in Austria
Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 3-8, March 2025.Abstract Infrastructure, especially railway tunnels, require continuous inspection to ensure their safety. Furthermore, the detection of damages at an early stage can improve their service life. These tasks represent a major challenge for those involved and the tunnel down time is a disruption in operation.

Numerical model to account for the influence of infill masonry on the RC structures behaviour [PDF]
, 2005 It is a common misconception considers that masonry infill walls in structural RC buildings can only increase the overall lateral load capacity, and, therefore, must always be considered beneficial to seismic performance.

Random excitation of a system with bilinear hysteresis [PDF]
, 1960 An analysis is made of the response of a system with bilinear hysteresis to random excitation. It is shown that for moderately large inputs, the additional damping created by the bilinear hysteresis decreases the mean squared deflection compared with ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

Application of high performance concrete for reconstruction
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 One of the sustainability aspects of the construction is a sufficient durability. In objectively justified cases, the durability is enhanced by reconstruction. To ensure economic design of the reconstruction, non-liner approaches are often applied.

Numerical modelling of in-plane behaviour of adobe walls [PDF]
, 2010 Some tests for material characterization of adobe blocks and adobe masonry have been carried out in universities and laboratories around the world. However, the number of tests is quite limited in comparison with those carried out with other structural ...

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

, 2014 Masonry is a non-homogeneous material, composed of units and mortar, which can be of different types, with distinct mechanical properties. The design of both masonry units and mortar is based on the role of the walls in the building. Load-bearing walls relate to structural elements that bear mainly vertical loads, but can serve also to resist to ...
