Analysis of structural and material degradation of a car-park’s RC bearing structure due to city environmental influences
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)Many of concrete structures during their working life are subjected to influence of different unfavorable factors that can decrease within time their capacity and serviceability, which finally ends with the need of application ... -
Dynamic of changes in carbon dioxide concentration in bedrooms
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)The paper presents results of preliminary studies on indoor air quality in polish sleeping rooms. Objects in typical blocks of flats with low ventilation rates were taken into consideration. Carbon dioxide concentrations ... -
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 ... -
Physical properties and structure of composite made by using hemp hurds and different binding materials
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)Maximum power consumption comes to building heating, which depends on the efficiency of building envelopes. Energy consumption of building sector covers 50% of the total energy consumption. Reducing building energy cost ... -
Coal combustion bottom ash as microfiller with pozzolanic properties for traditional concrete
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)Management of coal combustion products (CCPs) has created a challenge for utilities and regulators. In many countries CCPs are classified as hazardous substances and usage of them is limited. From the other hand, the CCPs ... -
Multi-criteria selection of a deep-water port in Klaipeda
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)The Klaipeda port is an arterial transport corridor between Eastern and Western Europe. There is need to develop a deep-water sea port in the Klaipeda region to satisfy economic needs. This problem involves a multitude of ... -
Field testing of old narrow-gauge railway steel truss bridge
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)Investigation results of a historic narrow-gage railway steel truss bridge built in 1936, still in use, is presented. During the World War II the bridge was exploded and has been restored later after the war (1946). The ... -
Load testing and model updating of a single span composite steel-concrete railway bridge
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)Actual static and dynamic response of a newly constructed composite steel-concrete railway bridge with a single span of 32 m is investigated. The main objective of this investigation was to increase knowledge on the actual ... -
Correlation analysis of thermo-insulation layer thickness and its payback period of the typical pitched roof detail
(Procedia Engineering, 2013)The article provides the correlation analysis of thermo-insulation layer thickness of the typical pitched roof detail and its investment payback period in the traditional new construction single-apartment residential and ... -
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
