Initial investigation of the intrinsic geomechanical properties of soils in area of landslide Černá Pole
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)One of the most important type of Brno’s subsoil is Miocene’s clay. Mechanical properties of these clays were already studied by various methods, authors, in several locations. These parameters, however, varies across the ... -
Deformations of foundations of windplant installation crane sites and their reasons
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)Road and foundation deformations in modern Lithuanian construction are one of the most important problems. Constantly rising conflicts between customers and builders due to poor quality of foundations show that Lithuanian ... -
The global analysis of a structure on the basis of precast building
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)The aim of the paper is to present a global analysis of a precast, reinforced building structure. At the design stage, information about structural behaviour of particular elements and the whole structure as well as its ... -
Development of an anchorage prototype for CFRP stress-ribbon systems using 3D printing technique
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)Compared with other structure types, stress-ribbon systems are extremely simple though requiring massive anchorage blocks because of very large tensile stresses induced in the ribbons. Such structural systems are efficient ... -
Research of undrained shear strength of till fine soils (moraine)
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)The undrained soil strength is specific to fine soils or to sands with a lot of fines. It is very important characteristic and the evaluation of accurate value is significant step. The undrained soil shear strength can be ... -
Advanced computational methods of perpendicularly loaded laminated glass panes
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)Various examples of glass load bearing structures such as beams, columns, panes, or even stairs are used in a current architecture. For safety reasons, these members are mostly made of laminated glass. Polymeric interlayers ... -
Damage of prestressed concrete railway sleepers and its impact on durability
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)Prestressed concrete railway sleepers are the most widespread sleepers due to their stiffness and high bearing capacity. They transfer train induced loads from the rails directly to the ballast and therefore are the most ... -
Experimental investigation on friction between foundation slabs and substructure
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)For verification of structural safety (ultimate limit states – ULS) and serviceability (serviceability limit states – SLS) of reinforced concrete structures direct and indirect actions must be considered. The main reason ... -
Global sensitivity analysis of failure probability caused by fatigue crack propagation
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)The probability of failure of a load bearing steel member is investigated using a new type of global sensitivity analysis subordinated to contrasts. The main objective of the probability-oriented sensitivity analysis is ... -
