Aiming to meet the principals of the modern circular economy, this study explores the possibility of using locally available waste materials in the production of innovative, eco-friendly mortar for masonry. The eco-binder, applied as a substitute for cementitious material, is ceramic waste powder (CWP) generated during the production of ceramic ind...

The paper presents the results of our own experimental research on the effect of the high range water reducing admixture content – HRWRA (applied in the range from 0.8 to 1.2% by mass of cement – mc) on the properties of self-compacting concrete in the fresh and hardened state. The research showed that increasing the HRWRA content lead...

This paper discusses the problem of theoretical and experimental determination of dynamic factors of road bridges. Various parameters influencing the dynamic behavior of bridges are briefly described and a review of regulations in this field is given. Also, an example of the numerical determination of the dynamic amplification factor on a specific ...

On the calculation example of a cable-stayed bridge with oblique cables, it was pointed out the shrinkage and creep of concrete significantly affects the distribution of stresses and deflections of the span beam over time. The segmental type of bridge construction is considered, which implies the successive introduction of concrete rheology, for ca...

To optimize measurement procedures in laboratories, in terms of the balance between economics and risk, determination of the optimal calibration interval for measuring equipment has significant importance. This paper will show an approximate, but effective method for determination of initial calibration interval, regarding “ILAC” guidelines and ori...

In this paper, the principle of application of the FEMA310 document for seismic evaluation of existing buildings is briefly illustrated, for any building type, and examples of evaluation are given for the first and second tier of evaluation process, for two types of masonry structures. The application of this document at tier one and tier two of th...
