In this paper, an approach to dynamic analysis based on the fuzzy set theory is presented. The dynamic analysis uses the response spectra method where the material parame [...]

In this paper, an approach to dynamic analysis based on the fuzzy set theory is presented as a alternative to the classical stochastic dynamic analysis. The material para [...]

Cement paste is the important component of other engineering heterogeneous materials, such as various kinds of concrete. Using the micromechanic approach, intrinsic elast [...]

Assessment of properties of reactor vessels in nuclear power plants which are more than 30 years old is necessary for eventual prolongation of their serviceability. Vesse [...]

This paper deals with a computer simulation of coupled heat and moisture transfer in a reactor vessel which affected shrinkage and creep of the structure. The mathematica [...]

Instable behaviour both of the road and tram bridge at the Prague “Chotkova road” up to Klárov and the rock mass around has been monitored long time yet. The movemen [...]

The concrete is one of the oldest materials used in the building industry for ages. The models of this material are often designed to capture the behaviour of real constr [...]

This paper discusses numerical methods developed for solution lateral earth pressure. Motivation for us was GLPT (General Lateral Pressure Theory) which establishes new c [...]

This paper presents discrete optimization of reinforced concrete structures based on an efficient combination of deterministic and stochastic optimization strategies. The [...]
