Accidents associated with the use of construction equipment are among the leading causes
of fatal injuries in the construction industry. In particular, angle grinders are associated with a …

The growth of structural reliability theory and applications, along with a recognition of its role
in guiding the structural engineering profession in addressing some of the most important …

As an essential load-bearing member of post-tensioned prestressed girders, prestressed
steel strands will inevitably reduce the safety and durability of the bridge if damaged …

This manuscript attempts to classify typical errors occurring during the design, production,
and use of prefabricated and prestressed concrete girders and slabs manufactured in …

Accurate prediction of long-term behavior of prestressed concrete (PC) bridges is
computationally expensive and complex. One main reason is that accurate finite element …

Determination of the stress state in concrete structures is a very important, but difficult task. In
the case of new structures, it is possible to easily instal measurement instruments which can …

Estimating and controlling the horizontal deformation of eccentric core-tube structure is
challenging due to the time-varying characteristics of concrete materials and structural …

Recently more attention has been paid to ageing infrastructure under increased traffic on the
roads in Slovakia. As a result, selected prestressed concrete bridges have been inspected …
