This paper presents the results of modeling of the potential distribution in DC corrosion tests with the application of the ANSYS Maxwell software in two models: in the form of a single long bar covered with concrete and in the shape of a fragment of the bar cut out together with the core. Material parameters used for input in the ANSYS Maxwell sof...
Chinese outward investment in real estate (FDIRE) has increased tremendously in recent years. However, it has attracted little attention in the literature. This study aims to assess the asymmetric impact of institutional quality on Chinese outward FDIRE using an extended gravity model with a real estate institutional factor. Using the unique datase...
Renewable energy technologies are increasingly integrated into the modernization of multi-apartment buildings, however their benefits are rarely assessed from a complex environmental, energy and economic point of view. The article presents the results of the modernization of a particular apartment building in terms of the production and consumption...
Stresses of a structure are determined with a first or a second order analysis. The choice of the method is guided by the potential influence of the structure’s deformation. In general, considering their low rigidity with regard to those of buildings, scaffolding and shoring structures quickly reach buckling failure. Imperfections, such as structur...
The fracture property of concrete is essential for the safety and durability analysis of concrete structures. Investigating the characteristics of the fracture process zone (FPZ) is of great significance to clarify the nonlinear fracture behaviour of concrete. Experimental and numerical investigations on the FPZ of plain concrete in pre-notched bea...
Oil products are usually released into the environment during transportation of oil, from storage, oil bases or accidents, accounting for about 60% of total soil pollution. Heavy metals, phenols, cyanides, aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene) also enter the soil together with oil products. After the contamination enters th...
