Stochastic Vulnerability Assessment of Masonry Structures: Concepts, Modeling and Restoration Aspects

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
A methodology aiming to predict the vulnerability of masonry structures under seismic action is presented herein. Masonry structures, among which many are cultural heritage assets, present high vulnerability under earthquake.

Atypical Long Barrows in the Cöeby Neolithic Cemetery (Trédion, Morbihan, France)? The Contribution of Electrical Surveys

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Coëby Neolithic cemetery, located in the commune of Trédion (Morbihan, France) and discovered in 1986, has been for several years the subject of a research programme focused on studying the various megalithic structures present. The spatial distribution of these remains highlights an unusual occupation of the territory, organized according

Impact of the self-healing agent composition on material characteristics of bio-based self-healing concrete

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2019
This paper investigates the composition of the biological self-healing agent based on its impact on material characteristics of concrete. A direct addition of the agent – a mixture of bacterial spores and nutrients – into concrete matrix has been ...

From Material Tensions to Organizational Paradoxes: How Manufacturers Cope With the Limits of Circular Product Design

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular product design (CPD) is central to advancing the circular economy by enabling the narrowing, slowing, and closing of resource flows. Yet, its implementation remains persistently challenging for firms. Prior research has largely framed these challenges as discrete barriers, overlooking the structural contradictions embedded in CPD ...

Application of high performance concrete for reconstruction

open access: yesActa 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.

Digital documentation of railway tunnel inspection in Austria

open access: yesCivil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 3-8, March 2025.
Abstract Infrastructure, especially railway tunnels, require continuous inspection to ensure their safety. Furthermore, the detection of damages at an early stage can improve their service life. These tasks represent a major challenge for those involved and the tunnel down time is a disruption in operation.

Fracture evolution of a thick soft protection layer and the water inrush mechanism in overburden under longwall mining

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

Possibilities of using sulphur and plant origin waste for light-weight and thermal insulation construction composites

open access: yesJournal 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
