Abstract—In the previous airfield construction industry, pavements made of reinforced concrete have been used very rarely; however, the necessity to use this type of pavements in an emergency situations justifies the need reference to this issue. The paper concerns the problem of airfield pavement dimensioning made of reinforced concrete and the evaluation of selected dimensioning methods of re...

Neural networks are a powerful tool used to model properties and behaviour of materials in many areas of civil engineering applications. In the present paper, the models in artificial neural networks for predicting the temperatures in timber under fire loading have been developed. For building these models, training and testing using the available numerical results obtained using design methods...

The work present in this paper was developed under the PhD thesis entitled “Application of Data Mining Techniques to the Design of Jet Grouting Columns”. The main goals of this study are the developing of analytical model, by application of Data Mining (DM) techniques, able to estimate the mechanical and physical properties of Jet Grouting (JG) material, namely the evolution of uniaxial compres...

As members of Project Team SC4.T5, the authors this paper present main outcomes from work that is intended for implementation within second generation Eurocode 4. General design and application rules composite precast concrete elements will be presented, with a particular focus on: effective width flanges using shear lag; resistance to longitudinal shear; headed stud connectors in presence holl...
