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.

Homogenization of cohesive fracture in masonry structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
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

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.

Influence of plastic tension chord deformation on the shear capacity of prestressed beam elements

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022
The shear strength of prestressed beam elements is of great interest with regard to the evaluation of existing concrete bridges. Accompanying extensive experimental test series, the adaptation and modification of existing models for the evaluation of the

Seismic Performance of Multistorey Masonry Structure with Openings Repaired with CFRP Grid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
FRP composites have been used for strengthening RC and masonry structures for decades. However, the researches on repairing multistorey masonry structures using FRP grids were relative less.

Analysis of stray current induced by cathodic protection on steel-framed masonry structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Cathodic protection (CP) has been successfully employed to protect steel-framed masonry buildings from corrosion related damage. When a CP system is installed to protect the structural members, other metallic items which are within the fabric of the ...

Calculation Model for Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Punching Zones of Bridge Superstructure and Foundation Slabs

open access: yesThe Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2011
The usage of steel fibre reinforced concrete in monolithic joins is well known as a good alternative of additional reinforcement because of chaotic distribution of steel fibres in complex stress ant strain state. Unfortunately, the analysis of well known

Nonlinear Model of an Additional Concrete Head and its Comparison with Long-Term Measurements

open access: yesSlovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2018
An additional concrete head or drop panels are not common solutions for strengthening flat slabs and have not yet been an adequately studied solution in the field of laboratory research.
