DIAGNOSTICS OF CORROSION ON A REAL BRIDGE STRUCTURE
Real bridge structures are affected by environmental conditions.The environmental loads in time cause the degradation of concrete and reinforcement. The diagnostics of real state of existing bridges are very important due to actual degradation and corrosion. In the frame of research activities of Department of Structures and Bridges, Civil Engineering Faculty, University of ˇZilina, the real b...

MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE AND CHLORIDE DIFFUSIVITY OF CRACKED RC SPECIMENS EXPOSED TO FREEZE-THAW CYCLES AND INTERMITTENT IMMERSION IN SEAWATER
The effects of crack width on chloride ingress and mechanical behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) specimens were experimentally studied after exposure to 300 cycles of freeze-thaw and seawater immersion (75 times). Cracks were induced prior to exposure by an eccentric compression load which was sustained until the end of the exposure period. The maximum cracks widths induced in the four column sp...

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SACRIFICIAL CLADDING USING POLYMERIC FOAMS AS CRUSHABLE CORE WITH A SIMPLY SUPPORTED STEEL BEAM
Design of ACM life cycle is defined with respect to traffic load acting on the pavement and road class for a period of about 20 years. In practice, reconstruction is usually pending until the end of the life cycle after which the reconstruction takes place and the original materials are replaced by new materials. Life cycle of the pavement construction in road structure is significantly longer tha...

PROBABILITY-BASED SEISMIC PERFORMANCE EVALUATION FOR BUILDINGS
Recent developments in earthquake engineering indicate that probabilistic seismic risk analysis (PSRA) is becoming increasingly useful for the evaluation of structural performance in accordance with building codes. In recent years, the field of seismic resistance design has been undergoing a critical shift in focus from strength to performance. However, current earthquake resistant design procedur...

SALT DAMAGE AND RISING DAMP TREATMENT IN BUILDING STRUCTURES
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the flexural performance of recycled aggregate RC beam reinforced with aramid fiber sheets. Compressive strength of concrete using recycled aggregate is generally similar or slightly lower than normal concrete. To improve the compressive strength, aramid fiber sheets have been used in this study. This study examines the structural behavior of concrete beam...
