The paper presents description and comparison of the procedures prescribed by the European standard EN 1991-1-7 for bridge pier impact load. The methods incorporate stati [...]

The paper presents ways of numerical modeling of RC and FRC slabs subjected to blast loading. The models are based on experiments which were described at the EM2011, the [...]

This paper presents the results of an experimental program focused on measuring the parameters of the blast wave resulting from explosive detonation and possibilities of [...]

This paper is focused on computer modelling of blast wave propagation in interaction with rigid blast barriers. The 3D numerical FEM model was created using LS-DYNA softw [...]

Due to improved ductility, fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) shows better performance under blast and impact loading compared to conventionally reinforced concrete. Also hi [...]

With the usage of modern cementitious materials, structural elements are designed more slender. For structures subjected to cyclic loadings this means higher stress range [...]

The authors proposed a method for assessing the increase of deflections of structural elements exposed to cyclic loading – the fatigue damage function. The fatigue dama [...]

Many articles and papers about mitigating the impacts of the transport infrastructure on the environment have pointed out that one of the factors influencing the usage of [...]

High stress ranges caused by cyclic loading can result into accelerated crack propagation, higher deflection, structural stiffness reduction and consequently into fatigue [...]

The paper presents results of a numerical study focused on the influence of different types of reinforcement arrangement of a bridge pier on its impact resistance. Four t [...]
