Research on condition assessment and improvement methods of civil engineering structures in view of their serviceability, load-bearing capacity, cost effectiveness and maintenance

1. Subproject no.-1 deal with the dynamic response of civil engineering structures, which still remain in the focus of research intersect. Also, in order to improve existing civil engineering structures, research on damage detection and localization is proposed, as well as wireless sensor networks improvements. 2. The temperature and humidity are two important physical parameters that have influence on a building’s service life. The high moisture content can cause corrosion, decay or structure deterioration. 3. In this part of the project it is anticipated that the survey will include the following structural systems and the possibility of their application in rehabilitation and reconstruction: wood-concrete composite floor structure and wood reinforced with carbon fiber materials. 4. Specifics of the wind turbine structures are current issues in a number of research centers of the world. The aim of this project is to track and connect those researches through theoretical and experimental research work. 5. Technical solutions which the research suggests, is a coupling of prefabricated reinforced concrete slab with steel girder with grouped elastic head studs that are batch wise set on upper flange of steel girder and placed in opening in reinforced concrete slab. 6. Precast hollow cores are among the most advanced products in the precast industry, especially with regard to their high quality and low use of materials.
