The present research improves the experimental and theoretical knowledge on the behaviour of structural elements made of ultra high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) with ordinary reinforcement. UHPFRC is a recently developed material with muc ...
Tensegrities are spatial, reticulated and lightweight structures that are increasingly investigated as structural solutions for active and deployable structures. Tensegrity systems are composed only of axially loaded elements providing opportunities for ac ...
A theoretical stochastic approach is presented for the structural analysis of plunge pool liners dynamically loaded by the impact of free-falling jets. Such an approach was used as the real behaviour of plunge pool liners is complex, and deterministic meth ...
Tensegrities are spatial, reticulated and lightweight structures that are increasingly investigated as structural solutions for active and deployable structures. Tensegrity systems are composed only of axially loaded elements and this provides opportunitie ...
We demonstrate in this poster the role played by stochasticity in bedload transport on steep slope. Multiscale and multifractal behavior is observed, while long range correlation takes place. ...
The report presents a series of numerical experiments concerning application of Support Vector Machines for the two class spatial data classification. The main attention is paid to the variability of the results by changing hyperparameters: bandwidth of th ...
Akaogiite, an ultra-dense polymorph of TiO2 was encountered in heavily shocked garnet-cordierite-sillimanite gneiss in the Suevite breccia of the Ries meteorite impact crater in Germany. The chemical formula of akaogiite is TiO2, containing (wt%) TiO2 97.6 ...
The design of timber rip shells confronts the engineer with major uncertainties during the planning process. The consideration of the elastic compound cross section during structural analysis of curved members by means of conventional calculation methods i ...
