Adiabatic temperature rise of concrete with limestone fines added as a filler
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Limestone fines (LF) is used as an inert filler in concrete to reduce the cement consumption, reduce the heat generation during hardening and promote the sustainability of concrete construction. Basically, LF is added to ... -
Analysis of reinforcement anchorage zone behavior of prestressed concrete elements under static and cyclic loads
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The article briefly discusses about the bond characteristics of different pretensioning reinforcement and some problems of reinforcement anchorage zone. In the present study bond characteristics of three-wire strand under ... -
Analytical modelling of combined slip and sliding modes in contact interaction of two spherical grains
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The analytical modelling of coupled slip and sliding contact response of two elastic spheres is presented for the kinematically imposed sphere centre relative motion trajectories. One sphere is assumed as a fixed, the other ... -
Assessment of buildings redevelopment possibilities using MCDM and BIM techniques
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The paper deals with abandoned former industrial buildings problem and buildings’ redevelopment possibilities with emphasis on sustainable development. A complex decision-making model for redevelopment of abandoned ... -
Behavior of hollow composite steel-concrete members under long-term axial compression
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Research results related to the behavior of hollow composite steel-concrete members under short-term loading are well known. Such members consist of two materials — steel and concrete with very different properties. They ... -
Big data in building energy efficiency: understanding of big data and main challenges
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Data generation has increased drastically over the past few years. Data management has also grown in importance because extracting the significant value out of a huge pile of raw data is of prime important thing to make ... -
Calculation of punching shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete flat slabs
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The paper deals with analysis of calculation of punching shear strength of reinforced concrete flat slabs with or without steel fibers in punching shear zone. The analysis shows, that the type, shape and strength of steel ... -
Comparison of material properties of lightweight concrete with recycled polyethylene and expanded clay aggregates
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The article discusses the possibility of using high and low density polyethylene waste as aggregate in lightweight concrete with high strength cement mortar. Research is dedicated to experimental investigation and comparison ... -
Component method in the strength evaluation of cold-formed steel joints
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Nowadays, there is a growing tendency in the use of cold formed constructions, which may be explained by good strength to cost ratio. Thus, the goal of this paper is to investigate the strength of cold-formed steel ... -
Decision making in construction management: AHP and expert choice approach
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The term and content of construction project management are outlined in this article. The main problems of construction management were identified and possibilities to solve them are discussed. The model for decision ... -
Determinants of housing market fluctuations: case study of Lithuania
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The article aims to distinguish the most important determinants of housing market fluctuations in Lithuania for period of 2005–2015. Analysis of housing market cycle performed, major prices’ movements and affecting factors ... -
Deviation in deflections of eccentrically prestressed reinforced concrete structures
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The pre-service stage deflections, caused by prestress, should be evaluated when calculating the final deflections of the members. The deflections of neighboring prestressed reinforced concrete structures should not differ ... -
Effect of pozzolanic additives on the strength development of high performance concrete
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The aim of this research is to estimate the effect of pozzolanic substitutes on the temperature generated by the hydration and on the final strength of concrete. Differential thermal analyses (DTA) were conducted. Ternary ... -
Effects of high temperature on the properties of high performance concrete (HPC)
