Semi-rigid behavior of joints in wood light-frame structures
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The problem of behavior of the joint in wood light-frame structures were discussed in the paper. Two types of joint flexibility and their impact on the behavior of the structure were discussed. The results of the experimental ... -
The multicriteria assessment of multi-storey office building energy performance
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Global trends indicate that the industrial development of countries requires increasingly larger energy resources. Energy resources that are most wildly used in industry are non-renewable natural resources. Therefore, the ... -
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 ... -
Structural analysis of GFRP truss bridge model
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Experimental investigation of structural behavior of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) space truss bridge model subjected to static loading is discussed in this paper. Bridge prototype was assembled using GFRP profiles ... -
Serviceability and shear response of RC beams prestressed with a various types of FRP bars
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The present study focuses on crack width prediction and shear response analysis of prestressed concrete (PC) beams with certain type of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) to be used. Recommendations are introduced taking into ... -
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 ...
