The paper is focused on statistical inverse analysis of material model parameters, where statistical parameters of input parameters have to be identified based on experim [...]

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 [...]

Representative samples of 14th century fresco paintings (renders and colour layers) from various Serbian monuments (Byzantine influence sphere) were examined, characteriz [...]

Homogenization methods are becoming the most popular approach to modelling of heterogeneous materials. The main principle is to represent the heterogeneous microstructure [...]

An experimental investigation was conducted to study the shear strength of full-scale beams constructed with both high-volume fly ash concrete (HVFAC) – concrete with a [...]

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

According to recent publications, from 2005 to 2008 there were more than 13000 terrorist attacks around the world which took more than 73000 human lives. The attacks were [...]

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 [...]

The paper deals with the perfusion in hierarchically arranged double porous media constituted by transversely periodic layers. In each layer the reference periodic cell i [...]

The present contribution aims at the application of homogenization approaches to heterogeneous members subject to bending. The proposed approach is discussed with the emp [...]

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

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

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 [...]

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 [...]
