Abstract Many bridges in Slovakia are reaching their designed life span these days. Due to frequent errors during the construction of those as well bad maintenance, steel‐concrete now a critical state and urgent repairs structures needed. In this article progressive methods retrofitting existing concrete shown. presented method, original pillars bridge deck will remain place, on new composite, ...

The integer groups of coinvariants associated to undecorated and decorated octagonal tilings are computed.

In order to address the performance complexity of the various constituent materials of (dense-column) latticed concrete-gypsum composite panels and the difficulty in the determination of the various elastic constants, this paper presented a detailed structural analysis of the (dense-column) latticed concrete-gypsum composite panel and proposed a feasible technical solution to simplified calcula...

Disparity estimation is a very important operation in stereo image and video compression. However, existing disparity estimation algorithms require too large computation power. In this paper, we propose a fast disparity estimation algorithm for mesh-based stereo image and video compression with two-stage hybrid approach, which is names as Two Stage Iterative Block and Octagonal Matching algorit...

Quadtree and pyramid structures have attracted considerable attention in recent years. They are increasingly being applied to the fields of digital image and signal processing. As a result, the efficient embedding of these structures in VLSI arrays has become an important research topic. In this paper, we propose three schemes to embed either quadtrees or pyramids in a rectangular, hexagonal, o...

We study statistical properties of energy spectra of a tight-binding model on the twodimensional quasiperiodic Ammann-Beenker tiling. Taking into account the symmetries of finite approximants, we find that the underlying universal level-spacing distribution is given by the Gaussian orthogonal random matrix ensemble, and thus differs from the critical level-spacing distribution observed at the m...
