Numerical analysis software belong to the main tools for simulating the real behavior of various concrete structures. In comparison with experimental tests, they offer an affordable way to study the mechanical behavior of ...

The paper describes an assessment of reinforced concrete structures in terms of durability and sustainable development. The article includes a short summary of the literature search on evaluation methods for environmental ...

Fire resistance represents an important parameter which is necessary to consider during the structural design of buildings. It is defined as an ability of building components to perform their intended load-bearing functions ...

The aim of the paper is presenting of a nature-friendly achievement of an artificial floating island made from concrete composite with dispersed reinforcement (fibre reinforced concrete). Fibre reinforced concrete is ...

While the use of cast-in-place concrete for an airfield and highway pavement overlay is very common, the application of precast concrete elements is very limited because of two main reasons - high production costs and ...

The recent development in technology of production and transport of the steel fibre-reinforced concrete enables its utilization in composite steel-concrete structures. This work is focused on development of mechanical ...

Stavební průmysl nabízí mnoho materiálů, které je možné využít pro výrobu různých konstrukčních prvků. Vláknobeton je materiál, který stále častěji nachází uplatnění v reálných betonových konstrukcích. Důvodem jsou jeho ...

The recent development in technology of production and transportation of steel fibre-reinforced concrete enables its utilization in composite steel-concrete structures. This work is a part of a project which focuses on ...

Long-term traffic restrictions belong to the key disadvantages of conventional cast-in-plane concrete pavements which have been used for technical structures such as roads, parking place and airfield pavements. As a ...

In the paper, a gas-fired radiant heater system for testing of structural elements and materials at elevated temperatures is described. The applicability of the system is illustrated on an example of the heat transfer ...
