Application of high performance concrete for reconstruction
Acta 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.

Estimating Arias Intensity From Response Spectrum
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Arias intensity serves as a crucial metric to measure ground motion energy and is extensively utilized in earthquake engineering to analyze structural damage, slope instability, and the potential for soil liquefaction. Nevertheless, in many practical design scenarios, only the response spectrum is available, without corresponding information ...

Journal 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

Seismic Meta‐Fragility Functions
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fragility functions make for one of the three key components of probabilistic seismic risk analysis, along with hazard and consequence and/or exposure models. They are, in principle, construction‐specific; however, risk analysis is more often performed on a larger (e.g., regional) scale. In this case, so‐called typological fragility curves are

Adhesion test – testing of selected adhesives on fired clay
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 The following paper deals with the comparison of adhesion of specimens made of fired clay and selected adhesives. The adhesion was tested on specimens at the age of one, two and three days in order to determine the parameters of young masonry.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Self‐centering rocking structures outperform conventional ones since they show zero post‐earthquake damage and excellent recentering; however, their applications remain limited due to concerns that rocking is extremely sensitive and nonrepeatable. This paper investigates the repeatability and parasitic out‐of‐plane motion of controlled rocking
