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.

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

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

A review on acoustic emission monitoring for damage detection in masonry structures

open access: yesConstruction and Building Materials, 2020
Acoustic emission monitoring is widely used for damage detection in materials research and for site monitoring. Its use for masonry structures is however challenging due to the highly heterogenic nature of masonry and rapid signal attenuation.
