Experimental Investigation of Cracked End-notched Glulam Beams Repaired with GFRP bars
(Slovak Forest Products Research Institute, 2019)
In this paper, an experimental research on bending behaviour of end-notched glulam beams and their bending behaviour after repairing with glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars is presented. Altogether five glulam beams ...
Determination of pH in Powdered Concrete Samples or in Suspension
(Basel : MDPI, 2019)
Concrete is a material that is widely used by mankind. Although different deterioration mechanisms can lead to degradation of the concrete itself, reinforcement corrosion is the biggest durability issue for reinforced ...
The alternatives to traditional materials for subsoil stabilization and embankments
(MDPI, 2019)
Major infrastructure projects require significant amount of natural materials, often followed by the soft soil stabilization using hydraulic binders. This paper presents the results of a laboratory study of alternative ...
Valorization of Fly Ash from a Thermal Power Plant for Producing High - Performance Self-Compacting Concrete
(Science of Sintering, 2020)
This study analyzes the feasibility of valorizing industrial by - product, fly ash from a thermal power plant as a partial replacement of mineral filler - limestone for the production of self-compacting concrete (SCC). ...
Framework for Dynamic-Stiffness-Based Free Vibration Analysis of Plate-Like Structures
(Hindawi Limited, 2019)
A framework for free vibration analysis of plate-like structures is presented in the paper. Based on the previously formulated dynamic stiffness elements, FREEVIB object-oriented software in Python environment has been ...
On the Flow over High-rise Building for Wind Energy Harvesting: An Experimental Investigation of Wind Speed and Surface Pressure
(MDPI, 2020)
The human migration from rural to urban areas has triggered a chain reaction causing the spiking energy demand of cities worldwide. High-rise buildings filling the urban skyline could potentially provide a means to improve ...
Evaluation of Green and Grey Flood Mitigation Measures in Rural Watersheds
(MDPI, 2020)
Floods cause considerable damages worldwide and mitigation of their adverse effects through effective protection measures is needed. Along with the commonly applied “grey” infrastructure, “green” measures that can offer ...
Modeling Indoor Particulate Matter and Small Ion Concentration Relationship-A Comparison of a Balance Equation Approach and Data Driven Approach
(MDPI, 2020)
In this work we explore the relationship between particulate matter (PM) and small ion (SI) concentration in a typical indoor elementary school environment. A range of important air quality parameters (radon, PM, SI, ...
On the Wind Energy Resource above High-Rise Buildings
(MDPI, 2020)
One of the main challenges of urban wind energy harvesting is the understanding of the flow characteristics where urban wind turbines are to be installed. Among viable locations within the urban environment, high-rise ...
