Behind every human death there is a story, unique to the human being, one that comes to a close after the official funeral ceremony. Generally, ‘close’ is the word essential for the bereaved and should govern the entire funeral process until the eventual placement of the remains. Today, a traditional funeral ceremony is losing its importance; it ha...

This paper deals with numerical analysis and design of slander prismatic masonry beams loaded predominantly by axial force and bending moment in plane of the principal moment of inertia. Because of the material non-linearity, classical mathematical theory of slender columns cannot be applied for masonry elements, therefore the proposed method uses ...

The paper deals with investigation of the interaction between an edge-crack and an aggregate in a silicate-based composite, because adding of aggregates into basic matrix material can improve the fracture mechanical properties of the material significantly. In this work, the three-point-bending test is modelled by means of the finite element method...

The engineering calculation procedure of the stress-strain state of the two-layer coating under the load localized along a line is proposed. The plane coupled problem of the plate equilibrium has been formulated. The analytical solutions of the problem have been obtained and compared with previous results for the uncoupled problem. The analytical e...

The paper is focused on the deterioration of industrial reinforced concrete chimneys caused by carbonation. It is considered that a chimney has to be repaired when more than 30% of its surface is affected by visible corrosion-induced cracks. An optimal maintenance strategy aims at the postponement of this state beyond the intended service life of t...

The paper introduces an inverse response surface method utilized when performing reliability-based design optimization of time-consuming problems. Proposed procedure is based on a coupling of the adaptive response surface method and the artificial neural network-based inverse reliability method. The validity and accuracy of the method is tested usi...

Elevated reservoirs are mainly used for storing of variety water. During earthquake activity the fluid exerts impulsive and convective (sloshing) effects on the walls and bottom of tank. This paper provides theoretical background for analytical calculating of elevated water tank due to earthquake even and deals with simplified seismic design proced...

Based on known correlations permeability was calculated for the mixtures containing various proportions of selected FBC fly ash, Speswhite kaolin and lime. The influence of initial water content of the mixtures was also considered. The study was limited to the first four weeks of curing time. Results of calculations were discussed on the background...
