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 ...

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 development of the drivetrain for a new series of urban electric buses is presented in the paper. The traction and design properties of several drive variants are compared. The efficiency of the drive was tested using ...

Long-term exposure to high temperature results in the change in both strength properties and mechanical behaviour of concrete. The aim of this paper was to focus on the performance of selected concrete composites, particularly ...

Although much research has been done in the area of the fire response of concrete in the past decades, only few studies are focused on the mechanical properties of air-entrained concrete at high temperatures. This paper ...

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 ...
