Effects of spatial variation in cohesion over the concrete-rock interface on dam sliding stability
Abstract The limit equilibrium method (LEM) is widely used for sliding stability evaluation of concrete gravity dams. Failure is then commonly assumed to occur along the entire sliding surface simultaneously. However, the brittle behaviour of bonded ...

Behavior of hybrid high-strength fiber reinforced concrete slab-column connections under the effect of high temperature
Abstract Concrete can be modified to perform in a more ductile form by the addition of randomly distributed discrete fibers in the concrete matrix. The combined effect of the addition of two types of fibers (steel fiber and polypropylene fiber with...

Experimental verification of secondary effects of prestressed beam at ULS
Summary The paper deals with secondary effects of prestressing at ultimate limit state when statically indeterminate structure has changed its structural form due to development of plastic hinges in critical cross-sections. The article presents...

Building Design with Energy Performance as Primary Agent
Abstract How does building form express energy performance through design? Design, in our opinion, increases its agency as energy considerations move to early stages of design. Shifting energy evaluations earlier, as the review of literature shows,...

Containment performance evaluation of prestressed concrete containment vessels with fiber reinforcement
Abstract Background Fibers in concrete resist the growth of cracks and enhance the postcracking behavior of structures. The addition of fibers into a conventional reinforced concrete can improve the structural and functional...

Stability of interbed for salt cavern gas storage in solution mining considering cusp displacement catastrophe theory
Abstract Cusp displacement catastrophe theory can be introduced to propose a new method about instability failure of the interbed for gas storage cavern in bedded salt in solution mining. We can calculate initial fracture drawing pace of this...

Method for Assessment of Energy Retrofit Measures in Milieu Valuable Buildings
Abstract Proposed method concentrates on the junctions of structures that usually have strongest influence on visual character of the building. To gain energy savings, a major change of the influence occurs when external thermal insulation is...

Functional Relationship between the Runway System and Apron/Gate Area under Different Demand Characteristics
Abstract Overall airport airside capacity is commonly identified with the runway system capacity. In this paper, it is observed through the runway system and apron/gate area, assuming that the taxiway system does not impose the capacity constraint....

Robust All-quad Meshing of Domains with Connected Regions
Abstract In this paper, we present a new algorithm for all-quad meshing of non-convex domains, with connected regions. Our method starts with a strongly balanced quadtree. In contrast to snapping the grid points onto the geometric boundaries, we...
