MIXED BIOMASS AS AN ALTERNATIVE ENERGY FUEL
The use of biomass as a renewable energy source is applicable in the production of electricity and heat. The main fuel is wood in the form of fragmented wood, edgings, whirlpools, wood chips, sawdust, briquettes and pell...
THE INFUENCE OF BOUNDARY CONDITIONS ON THE SAFETY OF STEEL TRUSSES SUBJETED TO HIGH TEMPERATURES
The study provides an analysis of three trusses that differed only with respect to support. All trusses were analyzed for normal and accidental design cases, latter under fire load. A standard fire curve was adopted, and...
