Influence of geometry on creep and moisture movement of clay, calcium silicate and concrete masonry [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
This investigation involved creep and moisture movement measurements for about six months on 13-course clay (Engineering class B) and calcium silicate brickwork, and 5-course concrete blockwork, consecutively.

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.

Masonry Columns Confined by Steel Fiber Composite Wraps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The application of steel fiber reinforced polymer (SRP) as a means of increasing the capacity of masonry columns is investigated in this study. The behavior of 23 solid-brick specimens that are externally wrapped by SRP sheets in low volumetric ratios is

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

Masonry wall panels retrofitted with thermal-insulating GFRP-reinforced jacketing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Today there is a need to provide thermally efficient walls, while at the same time to increase the mechanical properties of old unreinforced masonry walls that will not require large amounts of energy in the retrofitting or deconstruction processes.

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.

Experimental analysis of dynamic effects of FRP reinforced masonry vaults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
An increasing interest in the preservation of historic structures has produced a need for new methods for reinforcing curved masonry structures, such as arches and vaults.
