EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON STEEL TANK MODEL USING SHAKING TABLE
Cylindrical steel tanks are very popular structures used for storage of products of chemical and petroleum industries. Earthquakes are the most dangerous and also the most unpredictable dynamic loads acting on such struc...
LABORATORY RESEARCH OF TOE RESISTANCE BASED ON STATIC PILE LOAD TESTS IN DIFFERENT SCHEMES
Transfer of axial force from the head of a pile to the surrounding soil by skin friction and toe resistance is still uncertain. The results of the static pile load test are usually presented as settlement curve. This cur...
THE LOAD-BEARING CAPACITY OF TIMBER-GLASS COMPOSITE I-BEAMS MADE WITH POLYURETHANE ADHESIVES
This article discusses the issue of composite timber-glass I-beams, which are an interesting alternative for load-bearing beams of ceilings and roofs. The reasoning behind the use of timber-glass I-beams is the combinati...
