Effect of an acidic environment on a glass fibre reinforced polymer grid [PDF]
The article deals with the effect of an acidic environment on the mechanical properties of a Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) grid. GFRP composites are prone to the absorption of surrounding media which are either of a liquid or gaseous state, and ...

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

Homogenization of cohesive fracture in masonry structures [PDF]
We derive a homogenized mechanical model of a masonry-type structure constituted by a periodic assemblage of blocks with interposed mortar joints. The energy functionals in the model under investigation consist in (i) a linear elastic contribution within
