This paper turns attention to the potential of the simulation based reliability assessment method SBRA considering especially the durability assessment of steel structure [...]

The main reason for the thickness of a concrete sandwich element is the requirement for the protective concrete cover for the steel reinforcement. Use of textile reinforc [...]

The aim of the project was to define the causes of damages done to two of thirteen busts made by Jerzy Sobocinski in 1971. The collection belongs to The National Museum i [...]

Reinforced concrete structures are widely constructed in the Persian Gulf region for infrastructures of ports and oil exploration. But these structures are increasingly b [...]

This contribution deals with reliability of railway wheels as influenced by the occurrence of impaired limiting material strength. Results are presented of material inves [...]

Two parameters of bone microarchitecture: volume of bone layer and fractal dimension were used. 42 human bone samples were cut to cylindrical testing samples of 8.5 mm th [...]

This paper examines the influence of reinforcement steel elemental composition and surface condition (polished and unpolished) on the corrosion rate of reinforced concret [...]

The paper deals with the study of dominant frequencies of an Impact-Echo method response signal obtained from a reinforced concrete beam with a steel rod diameter of 6mm. [...]

The corrosion caused by the action of chloride ions represents the greatest threat to the durability and service life of reinforced concrete structures. This pathological [...]

Evaluation of RC structures cannot leave aside from adequate structural monitoring, as clearly stated in main international building codes. Internal reinforcement corrosi [...]

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

It is a fact well known that the active additions improves the mechanical as well as de durability of concrete structures. Usually the materials are tested in laboratory [...]

Corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete is one of the most influencing factors causing the degradation of reinforced concrete structures, conducting to concrete crack [...]

Reinforced Concrete structures are designed to satisfy requirements regarding safety, serviceability and durability throughout their design service life. The present pape [...]

In the present paper a parametric study is conducted based on an existing finite element based model. The influence of cover layer, reinforcement diameter and water-to-ce [...]
