Attitudes and practices of homeowners in the decision-making process for building energy renovation
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The most recent studies point out that building users play a critical role in the decision-making process for the energy renovation of buildings as well as in energy use during the building life-time occupancy. Nevertheless, ... -
Application of geogrid reinforced constructions: history, recent and future developments
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Geosynthetics are widely used for separation, protection, drainage, filtration and sealing. In addition, high-strength geogrids have been more and more successfully used in recent times for the construction of steep slopes ... -
Experiences gathered from the construction of Napoli underground
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The design of a deep excavation must address a number of issues such as, for instance, the choice of an adequate support system, the definition of the sequence of construction phases, the computation of the stresses in ... -
Advanced residual stress assessment of plate girders through welding simulation
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)This article provides an impression on potentials in applying nowadays welding simulation tools in construction design. This is carried out exemplary on plate girders from two structural steel grades. The calculated ... -
Cracking caused by early-age deformation of concrete – prediction and control
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)This paper deals with the control of cracking caused by restraint to early-age cooling and shrinkage of concrete. Such cracking is inevitable in many situations and a significant amount of reinforcement crossing each crack ... -
Sustainable steel-timber joints for framed structures
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The mechanical characteristics of steel-timber composite (STC) connections play an essential role in the safe and economical design of hybrid STC structures and floor systems. Accordingly, this study investigates the ... -
Assessment of opportunities for construction enterprises in European Union member states using the MULTIMOORA method
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)A large part of the construction sector consists of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which play a key role in the dynamics of the European economics. Thus, to help them achieve their growth potential, the European Union ... -
Designing roads near the buildings providing the necessary vibrational comfort for the residents
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)This paper presents the methodology of measurement and interpretation of the provision of the people with the necessary comfort in the buildings in a relation to the design of new or redevelopment of the existing transport ... -
Design and construction of deep foundation systems and retaining structures in urban areas in difficult soil and groundwater conditions
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)Economic and environment-friendly design focuses on a reduction of construction material used, construction time spent and energy consumed within the buildings construction and service time. Regarding deep foundation systems ... -
Risk management of construction works by means of the utility theory: a case study
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)The construction works are implemented under conditions of risk. In this paper, a suggested method of risk analysis has been presented, based on the application of utility theory. This procedure embraces the following: ... -
Application of Kinematic Method and FEM in analysis of ultimate load bearing capacity of damaged masonry arch bridges
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)The paper presents the comparison of two methods: analytical Kinematic Method (KM) and Finite Element Method (FEM), which enable one to take into account typical kinds of damage to masonry arch barrels and to examine their ... -
Equilibrium finite elements of spherical shells in analysis problems
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)In this paper, the problems of analysis of flat spherical shells modelled by equilibrium finite elements are formulated and solved. A new second-order equilibrium finite element developed by the method of Bubnov-Galerkin ... -
Elastic lateral-torsional buckling of simply supported hot-rolled steel I-beams with random imperfections
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)The paper deals with the problem of lateral beam buckling of simply supported hot-rolled I-beams under major axis bending. The bending stability problem is analysed by consideration the minor axis bending and torsion ... -
Knowledge-based model for standard housing renovation
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)In this paper knowledge-based model for standard housing renovation is proposed. The key idea of the model is to transfer the knowledge gathered from already implemented typical renovation projects to the forthcoming ... -
Free vibrations of plates on elastic foundation
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)In the current study the free vibrations of stepped anisotropic rectangular plates on elastic foundation are considered. The anisotropic stepped plate has a part-through crack at the re-entrant corner of the step. Natural ... -
Modeling transition in design model when analyzing specific behaviors of structures
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)This paper explains the basic principles related to design prediction for stress-and-strain state of load-bearing structures taken into account the stage-wise closing of the load-bearing structures system and changing the ... -
