The paper summarizes the results and evaluation of tests of the resistance of glass-fibre-concrete components used for footbridge deck cover subjected to wind loading actions. The main aims of this research was not only to verify the objective load-carrying capacity and serviceability of covering panels, but also to verify the use of glass-fibre-concrete and its properties, if applied for non-typical product. The tests also show the usage of the unique and effective method of the vacuum loading. The research has been elaborated based on the requirements of DAKO Brno Ltd. Company.

Different Types

This paper presents theoretical and experimental analysis of two types of circular hydrostatic thrust bearings, using incompressible lubricants. Design equations for load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and flow, are given for three different types of flow restriction—orifice, capillary, and constant flow. Experimental verification of the equations is shown. It is seen that each method of restriction imparts its own characteristics on the bearing performance. Constant flow, for instance, results in the stiffest bearing under certain conditions, and capillary restriction is unaffected by temperature changes.

Experimental verification of structural members can be the necessary part of the structural design of load-carrying civil structures, mainly in the period of last two decades. In some cases, the knowledge obtained from the tests is the sole source of the reliable information about actual behaviour of structural member in strain and failure process and about its objective load-carrying capacity. The paper is specifically aimed at the control experimental verification of roof decking based on thin-walled metal profiled sheets. Loading test has been performed during structure erection, as additional resource for the verification of actual behaviour and objective load-carrying capacity and for the confirmation or refinement of static design assumptions and results, within the ultimate and serviceability limit states. The subject of the control experimental verification was roof decking composed of thin-walled metal cassettes with thermal insulation at its upper side, used for the university lecture room roofing.

After the devastating floods in the Europe and Czech Republic especially, in 1997, 2002 and 2007 years, the need of the anti-flood protection was very actual and delicate. One of the ways, how to solve this problem in the case of usual or lower water level, is the usage of anti-flood barriers. The paper is focused on the experimental verification of the actual behaviour, load-carrying capacity and failure mechanisms of the cantilevers made of FRP composite profiles PREFEN, which are in reality used as columns of anti-flood barriers. The investigated water-proof profile of H-cross-section is composed of epoxy resin and glass fibres.

Hot Rolled Steel

Authors of article analysed influence of variability of yield strength over cross-section of hot rolled steel member to its load-carrying capacity. In calculation models, the yield strength is usually taken as constant. But yield strength of a steel hot-rolled beam is generally a random quantity. Not only the whole beam but also its parts have slightly different material characteristics. According to the results of more accurate measurements, the statistical characteristics of the material taken from various cross-section points (e.g. from a web and a flange) are, however, more or less different. This variation is described by one dimensional random field. The load-carrying capacity of the beam IPE300 under bending moment at its ends with the lateral buckling influence included is analysed, nondimensional slenderness according to EC3 is λ¯ = 0.6. For this relatively low slender beam the influence of the yield strength on the load-carrying capacity is large. Also the influence of all the other imperfections as accurately as possible, the load-carrying capacity was determined by geometrically and materially nonlinear solution of very accurate FEM model by the ANSYS programme.

The load-carrying capacity of the member with imperfections under axial compression is analysed in the present paper. The study is divided into two parts: (i) in the first one, the input parameters are considered to be random numbers (with distribution of probability functions obtained from experimental results and/or tolerance standard), while (ii) in the other one, the input parameters are considered to be fuzzy numbers (with membership functions). The load-carrying capacity was calculated by geometrical nonlinear solution of a beam by means of the finite element method. In the case (ii), the membership function was determined by applying the fuzzy sets, whereas in the case (i), the distribution probability function of load-carrying capacity was determined. For (i) stochastic solution, the numerical simulation Monte Carlo method was applied, whereas for (ii) fuzzy solution, the method of the so-called α cuts was applied. The design load-carrying capacity was determined according to the EC3 and EN1990 standards. The results of the fuzzy, stochastic and deterministic analyses are compared in the concluding part of the paper.

Abstract The objective of this study was to quantify pavement damage due to a conventional (385/65R22.5) and a new generation of wide-base (445/50R22.5) tires using three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) analysis. The investigated new generation of wide-base tires has wider treads and greater load-carrying capacity than the conventional wide-base tire. In addition, the contact patch is less sensitive to loading and is especially designed to operate at 690kPa inflation pressure at 121km/hr speed for full load of 151kN tandem axle. The developed FE models simulated the tread sizes and applicable contact pressure for each tread and utilized laboratory-measured pavement material properties. In addition, the models were calibrated and properly validated using field-measured stresses and strains. Comparison was established between the two wide-base tire types and the dual-tire assembly. Results indicated that the 445/50R22.5 wide-base tire would cause more fatigue damage, approximately the same rutting damage and less surface-initiated top-down cracking than the conventional dual-tire assembly. On the other hand, the conventional 385/65R22.5 wide-base tire, which was introduced more than two decades ago, caused the most damage.
