Application of numerical methods for the analysis of a concrete-steel tower subjected to multiple load factors
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)The conducted research reveals the behaviour of a concrete-steel tower subjected to vertical and lateral loads and actions taking into account the complexity of multiple factors including wind, temperature, ice and soil ... -
Assessment of facility management candidates by applying game theory
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)Changing economic conditions impact on private property, real estate market and pursuit for business investments. Subsequent to in the process of building design and construction, the services provided for management of ... -
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 ... -
Assessment of priority options for preservation of historic city centre buildings using MCDM (ARAS)
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)Numerous countries are trying to find the best method for suitable management of real estate objects that encompass both material value and cultural property. Cultural property can be defined as historical heritage in the ... -

The cement type effect on freeze – thaw and deicing salt resistance of concrete
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)This paper analyzes the effect of the four types of cement (Portland cement, blast-furnace Portland cement, limestone Portland cement and blast-furnace cement) on freeze-thaw and deicing salt resistance of concrete. Eight ... -
The combined slip and finite sliding models in a frictional contact interaction of two spherical particles
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)A simplified analytical modelling of tangential contact interaction of two elastic spheres was presented accounting for the kinematically induced sphere trajectory or a load controlled sliding process. The evolution of ... -
Competence model for the architectural engineering professional
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)Motivation. Modern design practice, where an architect works with engineers in a large team, lacks optimization. If collaboration between the professions of architecture (A.) and engineering (E.) were improved, it would ... -
Conditions for failure of normal section in flexural reinforced concrete beams of rectangular cross-section
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)The stress in longitudinal tensile reinforcement is one of the main important parameters while examining the technical state of under-reinforced concrete structures. The most important issue is to determine whether the ... -
