The Mathematical Model

Natural pavements are an important element of flights. Among other things, they allow the plane to be safely slowed down after it has exited the runway. For this reason, load bearing capacity of natural airfield pavements and strength of turf layer at a specified level are required. Currently used testing methods, such as CBR (Californian Bearing Ratio) tests or turf probe test, separately do not give a full image of pavement technical condition. The authors presented the methodology for assessing the technical condition of natural airfield surfaces based on the APCI (Airfield Pavement Condition Index). The index is based at the same time on the load bearing capacity of the surface layer up to 0.85 m and turf layer strength. The mathematical model and the classification of airfield pavements in terms of the APCI indicator are presented. The article also presents an example of using the APCI method to assess shoulders and end safety areas of the runway at one of the operating airport facilities.

Airoport infrastructure development requires care to maintain it in proper technical condition. Due to this, airport pavements should be constantly monitored, and, above all, correctly managed. High-level airport pavement management requires access to reliable information about their current technical condition as well as proper forecasting of this condition in the future. Obtaining good quality information about the technical condition of airport pavement should be based on a proven methodology, taking into account the introduced quality management system. The authors propose a method of technical pavement condition assessment based on the Airfield Pavement Condition Index (APCI), taking into account not only the results of the surface deterioration inventory, but also repair overviews, load bearing capacity, evenness and roughness of the surface, as well as the surface tensile bond strength. The method was developed during long-term work financed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. At the beginning of the article, the authors focus on reviewing the currently available methods of assessing the technical condition of the pavement. Then they briefly present the most popular surface assessment method based on the PCI indicator. Afterwards, a proprietary asphalt pavement assessment method based on the APCI indicator is proposed and an example of how to use the method is presented. Finally, they discuss the results and summarize the work done, and present further directions of work.

The paper presents problems related to the load-bearing capacity analysis of the building partitions of the cold storage facility. The subject of the case study are two different buildings built in the early fifties of the last century. Despite the similar cubature and the construction period, the structures of these buildings are different. The analysed cold store in Warsaw (Poland) is a steel and brick structure, while the second example concerns a reinforced concrete slab-pillar structure located in Wloclawek (Poland). In both cases, the issue related to the assessment of the current technical condition of the structural elements, including the safety of the load-bearing structure and the safety of its use was considered. Moreover, the permissible load for inter-storey slabs in both cases was determined. In order to properly determine the current load-bearing capacity of inter-story slabs, the archival technical and operational documentation of buildings was firstly analysed. Their technical condition was also taken into account in the assessment process. In-situ inspections of both buildings had been carried out. This allowed the determination of the scope of necessary tests and the selection of test and check points for each structural element. Such actions allowed to identify cross-sections of the structural elements and the parameters of built-in materials. The performed diagnostics also allowed to properly determine the technical condition of each structural element, the degree of degradation of the structure and to correctly determine its current load-bearing capacity while simultaneously satisfying both limit states - the Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and the Serviceability Limit State (SLS).

Abstract. The paper is focused on the results of the survey and diagnostics of the bridge № M 044 at the end of Rybničná street above the road II/502 Bratislava-Pezinok in the Slovak Republic. The article is the result of the cooperation between the Department of Concrete Structures and Bridges of the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava and the Department of Reinforced Concrete Structures and Transport Facilities of the Odessa State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture within the framework of the National Scholarship Program of the Slovak Republic. Data were obtained to assess the technical condition of the structures and the bridge as a whole. As a result of the inspection, the type of destruction of each structural element of the frame and superstructure was determined. A study on the content of chloride-ionic contamination of concrete and non-destructive tests of strength parameters was carried out. A detailed research analysis of the results and recommendations for processing the reconstruction has been proposed. In accordance with the valid regulations, due to the significant deformation in the horizontal plane, the cause of which is not known and due to the gradual loss of the bearing function, we evaluate the construction, and technical condition by the degree: VI ‒ very bad, and immediate reconstruction is required. The service life of the bridge is mainly affected by corrosion and displacement of the bearings, as well as contamination of concrete with chlorides from sanding salts and corroded bearings. Corrosion of the reinforcement in the horizon of 5 years can negatively affect the load-bearing capacity of the bridge and there is also an increased risk of falling pieces of the covering layer of the reinforcement on the road leading under the bridge. The following actions are strongly recommended: replace all bearings; reconstruct the waterproofing of the bridge, roadway, drainage system, expansion join on support no. 4; consider the installation of asphalt expansion joins over support no. 1 and piers no. 2 and 3; clean the entire surface with high-pressure water and apply a remedial coating, that would slow down the corrosion of the reinforcement; renew the areas with the delaminated cover layer with a repair compound. The conclusions about the calculation of load bearing capacity are based on the current technical condition of the bridge found during diagnostics (08/2021). During further operation, it is necessary to pay attention to the state of prestressing and possible opening of joints at the contact of beam segments.

Level crossing (LC) safety inspection between a highway and a railroad on Pirak-Pathukan Road, Sleman, Yogyakarta is necessary because this LC is located near various community centers, has high traffic volume, intersects with railway double tracks, and intersecting angle that is not perpendicular. This study aims to evaluate LC technical condition, analyse delay time and vehicles queue length, and evaluate pavement structure condition. The research results indicate: 1) LC technical conditions do not meet the requirements of Regulation of Director General of Land Transport No. 770 Year 2005; 2) The longest duration of LC gate closure occurred on Sunday at 15:05, that is 360 seconds, the highest traffic flow occurred on Monday (from the South side) that is equal to 1443 skr/day, and the longest delay time occurs on Sunday at 15:05, that is 498 seconds; 3) The value of pavement condition index (PCI) is 82% very good.

The theoretical prerequisites for justifying the development of two rapid assessment programs for road bridges to quickly determine the possibility of passing heavy vehicles on road bridge structures of a split and non-split system, made of wood, metal, steel-reinforced concrete, reinforced concrete with stressed and non-stressed reinforcement, according to the measured angle of rotation of their support sections, taking into account their actual operational condition, are presented. The programs implemented an experimental and analytical method for assessing the technical condition of road bridges for reliability. The features, conditions of application, positive and negative aspects of each version of the program are revealed. The creation of two variants of programs is due to, on the one hand, the need to ensure the safety of the driver of the vehicle and the bridge structure, and on the other hand, the need to guarantee the possibility of safe passage of heavy vehicles, both under the conditions of the load-bearing capacity of superstructures and the load-bearing capacity of road bridge supports, taking into account their actual operational condition. Both developed calculation programs were implemented by using a personal computer and certificates of state registration of computer programs were obtained. The developed programs will be used as part of the modernized IR-AM measuring complex.

The load-bearing capacity and fracture pattern of direct inlay-retained FRC FDPs with two different cross-sectional designs of the ponticwere tested. The aim of the study was to evaluate a new fibre disposition. Two types of composites, Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior Restorative and Filtek Z250 (3M/ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA), and one braided polyethylene fibre, Construct (Kerr, USA) were used. The results of the study suggested that the new tested disposition of the fibres prevented in some extend the delamination of the composite on buccal and facial sides of the pontic and increased the load-bearing capacity of the bridges.
