Design aid for the verification of resistance to failure by hydraulic heave
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)For the determination of the required embedded length for the safety against hydraulic heave several approximate solutions exist. However, most of these solutions do not take into account the geometrical boundary conditions ... -
Multi-criteria assessment of facades’ alternatives: peculiarities of ranking methodology
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)Alternative design solutions of buildings can be successfully evaluated applying Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. There are a lot of methods available for supporting complex decisions in construction. ... -
The effect of temperature on the formation of the hydrated calcium aluminate cement structure
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)The effect of temperature on the formation of the structure and phase composition of the Gorkal 70 grade calcium aluminate cement (CAC) during its hydration (W/C=1) at the temperature of +5 ºC, +20 ºC and +40 ºC is ... -
Limit analysis of geometrically hardening rod systems using bilevel programming
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)The paper considers some new results of creating load-carrying systems that have uprated strength, rigidity and safety, and therefore are called geometrically hardening systems. Indicated structural features are found ... -
Laboratory investigation of load incremental effect on the deformation of clay under axially loaded modeled circular piles
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)This paper presents the results of recent experimental investigation of load incremental effect on the deformation of clay under axially loaded modeled wooden circular piles in clay. The modeled piles consist of 20 mm ... -
Modern earth structures of transport engineering view of sustainable construction
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)This paper focuses on the new way of earth structures for transport engineering design and performance with respect to sustainable construction. There are two possibilities how to evaluate these modern earth structures ... -
ASR assessment – concrete prism testing within a regulatory framework
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)The experience of ASR and ASR testing varies substantially across Europe and outside. Several testing procedures exist but are not always linked to service life records. Also, the European concrete standard on this issue ... -
The Porsche pavilion in the Autostadt Wolfsburg, Germany
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)The Porsche Pavilion is an innovative stainless steel construction using the principle, often used in ship and car design, as an advantage for building a light but stiff structure. As the new highlight of the Autostadt ... -
Hydration of cement composites containing large amount of waste materials
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)Reducing the consumption of cement with simultaneous utilizing waste materials is preferred for reasons of environmental protection. Typical content of materials substituting cement in cement concrete composition does not ... -
Rational design of piled raft
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)Piles have been traditionally designed to ensure the transfer of the whole structural load to the soil in which they are embedded. It is now largely accepted that this way of doing is unduly conservative, especially in ... -
Soil-structure-interaction of tunnels and superstructures during construction and service time
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)The increasing size and population density of metropolitan areas and the along going traffic demands lead to the construction of large infrastructure projects. In many cases these infrastructure projects are close to ... -
Time-dependent stiffness of cracked reinforced and composite concrete slabs
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)The effects of creep and shrinkage on the time-dependent behaviour of reinforced concrete and composite steel-concrete slabs are discussed and procedures for the prediction of the long-term deflection are presented. The ... -
Thermo-active ground-source structures for heating and cooling
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)Energy foundations and other thermo-active ground structures, energy wells, and pavement or bridge deck heating / cooling represent an innovative technology that contributes to environmental protection and provides substantial ... -
FRP systems in shear strengthening of reinforced concrete structures
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)Due to their lightweight, high tensile strength, and ease to install on irregular surfaces, the use of FRP systems for the repair and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures has become an accepted practice within ... -
Phase trajectories of non-linear oscillations of a tower structure with an attached damper in a uniform wind flow
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)This paper is devoted to the study of the dynamic behaviour of a tower structure with an attached damper. Two dampers are attached to the upper end of the rod in two mutually perpendicular planes. The oscillation damper ... -
Application of equivalent cylindrical inhomogeneity to modeling of CNT and analysis of influence of CNT distributions on response of functionally graded structural elements
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)A mathematical model based on the concept of the energy-equivalent inhomogeneity combined with the method of conditional moments (MCM) has been applied to analyze Carbon Nanotube (CNT)-reinforced materials. The idea of the ... -
A community detection method for network structure analysis of force chains in granular medium in a rotating drum
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)We analyze the motion of granular matter in a partially filled drum rotating around the horizontal axis. The motion of granular medium is simulated using the discrete element model (DEM). As the drum rotates, the free ... -
Direct Metal Laser Sintering of stainless steel alloy: microstructure and mechanical properties
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)Additive manufacturing (AM) is a type of manufacturing technologies whereby the material is added a layer upon layer to produce a 3D object. Produced 3D parts are applied in such industry sectors as space, aviation, ... -
Harmonic components extraction influence on resulting modal parameters of vibrating structures
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)It is possible to estimate condition of static structures, like bridges and buildings, by monitoring how their modal parameters (frequency, shape and damping) change in time, based on modal parameters relation to mechanical ...
