In this paper, an experimental methodology is described to assess the structural strength of unreinforced concrete armor units (CAUs). The methodology is applied to measure the structural integrity under impact loads of ...
[EN] The deconstruction of steel-concrete composite structures in buildings and the later separation of the materials is a labour- and cost intensive work. This is due to the fact, that the shear studs are welded on the ...
This paper analyses the influence of temperature changes on load transmission between floor slabs and shores during the in situ casting of concrete slabs by the shoring-clearing-striking method. Therefore several experimental ...
[EN] Although there are several empirical studies about active learning in higher education, there are some open research questions. Especially, it appears to be relevant to find out what type of activity (active, interactive ...
Aims: A microbiological bioassay using Geoacillus stearothermophilus was optimized to detect betalactams at concentrations near to the Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs), with low cross-specificity for tetracycline. Methods and ...
[EN] Composite beam incorporated steel profiled decking has been extensively used for multi-storey buildings and is now one of the most efficient and economic form of flooring systems. However, the current composite flooring ...
