In reinforced concrete flat slab buildings, the transference of unbalanced moments in the slab?column connections usually results from the asymmetry of spans, vertical loads, and horizontal forces from the wind. The punching strength of the slab?column c...

This paper examines the cracking behaviour of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer. The crack opening of RC structures is a key parameter for the durability of concrete structures. It is of vital importance...

A temporary monitoring system was installed on the 175-year-old historical Széchenyi Chain Bridge during its reconstruction. The bridge is in the downtown area in the capital city of Hungary and plays a significant role in the city life of Budapest. Six-...

In the case of solid slabs made from reinforced concrete that are usually subjected to bending, large areas of the structure are stressed well below their load-bearing capacity or remain stress-free. Contrary to this are shell structures, which can bridg...

Porous materials bring components not only direct advantages in the form of lightening of constructions, saving of production materials, or improvement of physical properties, but also secondary advantages, which are manifested as a result of their daily...

In recent years, significant improvements in the design of leg blade prosthetics have been carried out. After several advances in material and topological optimisations, sport-purpose feet prosthetics have reached high-level performances, allowing athlet...

Carbon fibre-reinforced plastics (CFRP) are predestined for use in high-performance components due to their superior specific mechanical properties. In addition, these materials have the advantage that the material properties and in particular, the failu...

This paper describes the transition towards a composite structure, with the same overall aerodynamic characteristics, for a tail rotor blade of an IAR330 helicopter. The newly proposed structure of the composite blade is made of a carbon-roving spar embe...

Bonded joints used in wing sections and frames of aircraft structures are mostly exposed to cyclic loadings instead of static ones during their services. Bending types of dynamic loadings are mostly encountered. In this study, the fatigue response of a s...

The design guidelines available in building codes for steel and fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete (RC) beams have been developed on the basis of empirical models. While these models are successfully used for practical purposes, they requ...
