Impact of chemical and physical modification on thermoplastic characteristics of bitumen
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)In spite of strong competition of synthetic materials (including PVC, EPDM), bitumen remains the major component of most waterproofing materials. It makes up approx. 80% by weight of the final product. The characteristics ... -
Impact of recycled aggregates on selected physical and mechanical characteristics of cement concrete
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The issue of using construction rubble was recognized in Europe not earlier than in the nineties of the twentieth century. This was due to economic and ecological considerations. However, recycled aggregate is characterized ... -
Improvement of viscoelastic damping for the Hertz contact of particles due to impact velocity
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)One of the most important task in application of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to simulation of geomaterials is the adequacy of description of contact between interacting mineral particles. In most of the cases the ... -
Influence of aggregate granulometry on air content in concrete mixture and freezing - thawing resistance of concrete
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Concrete frost resistance is one of the main factors that effects its durability. This is particularly important in the harsh climate regions where the water in concrete pores gets multiple freeze-thaw cycles. Concrete ... -

Comparison between different fiber optical strain measurement systems based on the example of reinforcing bars
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Fiber optical measurement systems come to the fore after having been intensively investigated during the last two decades. One example is Fiber-Bragg-Gratings (FBG). This technology allows a sufficient strain measurement ... -
Analysis of the adoption rate of building information modeling [BIM] and its return on investment [ROI]
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)In an effort to remedy the issue of stagnant labor productivity in the construction industry, Building Information Modeling was proposed in the late 80’s as a new solution for streamlining the design and delivery process ... -
Strength of circular concrete columns reinforced with FRP bars and spirals
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Circular cross section reinforced concrete columns are often used in structures of buildings, ports or bridges. Generally, for the installment of these constructions metal/steel reinforcement is being used. Corrosion of ... -
Experimental verification of design procedure for elements from cross-laminated timber
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Cross-laminated timber is widely used for load-bearing walls and panels of multi-storey timber buildings as well as for decking structure of pedestrian and road bridges. Design procedure for elements from cross-laminated ... -
Effect of CNT on microstructure and minearological composition of lightweight concrete with granulated foam glass
