AbstractRecently, corrosion prevention and monitoring of reinforced concrete (RC) structures became an important issue for seismic assessment of such kind of structures. Therefore, it is important to develop adequate models to represent material degradation into seismic behavior simulation of RC structures. Because of its effects, corrosion represents the most important form of degradation for materials and structures, both for wide diffusion and the amount of danger it presents. To understand the corrosion process is critical in order to design RC structures that are able to guarantee the required service life and in order to understand the residual service life and strength of an existing structure. The seismic behavior of a corroded framed RC structure is analyzed by means of push-over analyses, which allow understanding the development of the global behavior of the structure. Three different degrees of corrosion penetration were simulated, by means of the reduction of bars and stirrups’ diameters and concrete cover cracking and spalling, and three different configurations of corrosion, depending on the number of corroded frames and sides of the structural elements.

Abstract Various problems and different approaches of solution of such a problematic unit as “centre block-footstep bearing” of freight cars are discussed in the paper. The methods of improving the tribological properties of this friction unit by means of material modification of friction surfaces and perfection of physical, chemical and tribological properties of the used lubricants were studied. Grease lubricants common for friction units of railway machinery were used after being modified with inorganic polymers based on double metaphosphates. Bench and operational tests of the developed additive of the polymeric double metaphosphates were carried out. This additive reduces wear and increases the service life of the friction unit, due to the better adhesion properties of this additive. The variants with a change in the geometry of the contact surface of the disk between the bolster and the “centre block-footstep bearing” arrangement of the car are considered. Simulation of the parameters of movement in curved sections is proposed.
