RESEARCH PROBLEMS THAT OCCUR DURING THE ANALYSIS OF THE WORK OF FRP-STRENGTHENED TIMBER BEAMS UNDER SUSTAINED LOADS
Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
A special focus was given to the variation in deformability characteristics of these materials and to the resulting processes that occur in the work of the strengthened beams. Aims and objectives of these studies were also presented together with the issues resulting from the requirement to maintain appropriate test conditions. The paper is a theoretical analysis of the problem, conducted prior to the start of preliminary studies.

THE EFFECT OF THE SOIL GRANULOMETRIC COMPOSITION ON THE FID (FREE INDUCTION DECAY) SIGNAL INTENSITY IN NMR TESTS
The influence of the soil granulation, grain diameter and the soil type on the FID signal intensity is presented. The FID signal intensity is used to determine the water content in soil sample by the use of the NMR spect...
IMPACT OF TEMPERATURE ON KINEMATICALLY ADMISSIBLE FAILURE MECHANISMS OF ENERGY-ACTIVE SEGMENTS OF STEEL HALLS
The paper analyses the impact of temperature on kinematically admissible failure mechanisms (KAFMs) of energy-active segments of steel halls. The static scheme of segment construction allows the separation of tilt and be...

THE EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF CHALCEDONY DUST ON THE REACTION OF ALKALIS WITH REACTIVE AGGREGATE IN CEMENT MORTARS
Chalcedony dust can be used as a mineral additive in cements and concretes. This material can act as a pozzolan and prevent the expansion caused by the alkali-silica reaction. The paper presents the examination of cement...
