EMPIRICAL DETERMINATION OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PERIOD OF FREE VIBRATION OF RC BUILDINGS
Determining the value of the fundamental period of vibrations of reinforced concrete structures is a complex task. In order to have certain data on the fundamental period of vibration in the earliest design stage, engineers use various approximate methods, which can quickly and simply, but still sufficiently accurate, provide an estimate of the req...

THE INFLUENCE OF CONCRETE VISCOUS DEFORMATIONS IN THE CALCULATION OF THE HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS BEHAVIOR OVER TIME
An example of a high-rise building behavior calculation shows that weather deformations of concrete have a significant contribution to changing the behavior of vertical load-bearing elements - columns and walls. The phenomenon of different shrinkage of concrete/steel pillars and concrete core due to the shrinkage and creep of concrete over time is ...
