Application of high performance concrete for reconstruction

open access: yesActa 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.

In‐situ installation safety of post‐installed anchorages—Investigations on construction sites

open access: yesCivil Engineering Design, EarlyView.
Abstract The sensitivity to reduced installation effort of post‐installed fastening systems is determined during the product qualification through robustness tests conducted under controlled laboratory conditions. Using the concept of required α‐factors, the installation safety factor γinst is determined and provided as an essential characteristic in ...

Homogenized model for herringbone bond masonry: linear elastic and limit analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A kinematic procedure to obtain in-plane elastic moduli and macroscopic masonry strength domains in the case of herringbone masonry is presented. The model is constituted by two central bricks interacting with their neighbors by means of either elastic ...

Quantitative X‐Ray Fluorescence Imaging to Evaluate the Efficacy of Micro‐Structured Cellulose Foams and Poultices in Wall Painting Desalination

open access: yesChemistry–Methods, EarlyView.
This work assesses, through a quantitative micro energy dispersive X‐ray fluorescence imaging, the effective use of micro‐structured cellulose foams as a sustainable alternative to traditional poultices for desalinating fresco paintings. Foams were between 6 and 10 times more efficient, achieving rapid and in‐depth salt removal with reusability and ...

Possibilities of using sulphur and plant origin waste for light-weight and thermal insulation construction composites

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management, 2013
The article notes that not all types of plant origin waste are appropriate for being used as fuel or left for decay. The environment is polluted by noxious gas that is generated in the process of heating or decaying. Sulphur waste is produced at chemical
