This paper presents the numerical modelling of fire exposure on structural element and its static analysis taking account material properties reduction due to elevated temperature.
 The reinforced concrete wall basement storey was subjected one side exposure.
 Advanced calculation methods were used assess as most reliable approximate test results. Thermal performed with LIRA-CAD softw...

Reducing the computational workload by simplifying analysis of karst foundations into a plane strain problem can yield significant advantages. Yet, such an approach fails in reproducing engineering situation rigorous manner. In this regard, paper proposes upper-bound method that effectively analyze bearing capacity three-dimensional foundations. This is utilized to investigate impact various pi...

In this paper, the influence of a nominal bearing clearance on lift-off behaviour and load-carrying capacity gas polymer bearings (GPBs) is investigated. For purpose, an experimental study with five different gap configurations range static loads carried out. Furthermore, test rig for friction torque measurements illustrated discussed from practical point view. The measurement results all metho...

The present research paper aims to evaluate the tribological behavior of coatings in applications where high wear resistance and low friction are required, commonly used refurbishment various items industrial equipment. Twelve pairs made six different coatings, corresponding three coating families, have been studied: TiSiN, Cr, DLC (diamond-like carbon). were produced using a technique called p...
