The service life of bridges is significantly affected by fatigue induced by crossings of heavy vehicles. Therefore, information of traffic flow, covering frequencies and [...]

Numerical methods of structural analysis enable consideration of material and geometrical non-linearity of reinforced concrete structures. While the effect of variability [...]

Wire glass is frequently used in present-day building projects, not only as a filling material, but also for load-bearing members. Thus, there are the special requirement [...]

At present considerable effort of architects and civil engineers is aimed at re-use of industrial buildings in order to preserve their cultural and heritage value and to [...]

Specification of the target reliability levels is a key issue of the assessment of existing bridges in emergency and crisis situations. ISO 2394 indicates procedures for [...]

The concept of global resistance and load factors provides a rational approach to reliability verification of reinforced concrete structures that require non-linear or dy [...]

General principles of structural elements design for durability and their application for compression members are presented in this paper. Environmental influences in the [...]
