Detection of damage to reinforced-concrete structures using piezoelectric smart aggregates

The implementation of active monitoring systems to diagnose damage to reinforced concrete structures using piezoelectric smart aggregates, and based on wave propagation, ranks among the world’s most advanced research activities. Original models, with parametric analysis of the damage index variation problem, depending on the size, position and orientation of cracks, are presented in the paper. Numerical modelling of wave propagation in reinforced concrete is conducted using the explicit finite element method, which is highly effective for this purpose.

The design of glued laminated timber footbridge structure according to Eurocodes

The paper presents the conceptual design of the footbridge made of laminated wood. The supporting system of the main bearing elements is made of the laminated wood in the system of arch with three joints and the bridge deck is made of the composite timber concrete structure system. The load patterns for which the dimensions of the supporting bridge structures were adopted (verified according to Eurocode) are presented.
