In restoration or repair of old buildings the correct estimation of the stress-strain-relationship of the existing structure is an important task. Masonry stiffness is cr [...]

We present the orthotropic hyperelastic material model for numerical simulation of the loading of the cylindrical membrane. The coefficients of strain energy function of [...]

In the fiber reinforced inorganic polymer (FRiP) strengthening system, an inorganic paste is used instead of an organic resin as the matrix and adhesives of fiber sheets. [...]

The first author of the project is the engineering director of a Temple reconstruction project in Turkey. In attempt to produce mortar similar in composition to that foun [...]

In this paper is solved a 3D analysis of growing crack of the chevron notched three-point-bending specimen. On macroscale the specimen body is modeled as an elastic homog [...]

The masonry constructions are widely used for a long time. Nowadays, new masonry structures are on demand owing to its variety and appealing mechanical properties. Both b [...]

This paper presents an experimental investigation on mechanical properties and durability of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) incorporating polypropylene (PP) fibres expos [...]

Cracking behavior of lime mortar renders subjected to shrinkage is numerically investigated by the finite element method (FEM). The render materials selected for the stud [...]

It is well established that most construction materials behave differently under static and dynamic loading. The stress-rate sensitivity of concrete, steel and rock has b [...]

This paper is focused on fracture energy which belongs to the basic fracture-mechanical characteristics of quasi-brittle materials. This parameter is explored here from t [...]

Complex analysis of massive historical structures that takes into account all geometrical details is still not computationally feasible. Instead, either coupled or uncoup [...]

The contribution deals with the 3D analysis of the chevron notched three point bending specimen which is used to determine the fracture toughness of brittle matrix compos [...]

Presented paper deals with fracture behaviour of carbon fibre reinforced composites on the basis of Portland (PC) and alumina (HC) cement. Carbon fibres can be used for [...]

The paper presents experimental determination of mechanical properties of different types of animal hairs. Mortars reinforced by thin fibres have promising properties for [...]
