ONE-YEAR SULFATE ATTACK: INFLUENCE OF CERTAIN FACTORS ON THE CONCRETE PROPERTIES
A large amount of aggressive ions, especially sulfate ions, is present in the soil and groundwater as well as in marine environment, which could lead to the deterioration of underground and offshore concrete structures in those areas. In the last few decades, the problem of the sulfate attack on building materials and structures has attracted consi...

THERMAL BRIDGES AS INDICATORS OF INSTALLATION DEFICIENCIES IN ETICS FACADES
External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) are widely utilized to increase the energy efficiency of buildings by minimizing heat loss through exterior walls. However, when improperly installed, thermal bridges are formed, significantly decreasing the overall thermal performance of the façade system. This study aims to identify ins...

FLEXURAL STRENGTH CAPACITY OF THE CONCRETE BEAMS PRODUCED USING DIFFERENT CONCRETE VARIABLES
Flexural strength capacity of the concrete beams depends on different variables such as compressive strength of the concrete, type of the reinforcement used, amount of the reinforcement and cross section of the beam. The flexural strength is expressed as Modulus of Rupture, and it is determined according to ASTM C 293 (center-point-loading). This r...

ANALYSIS OF THE BEHAVIOR OF LATERALLY LOADED PILE–SOIL SYSTEM
Piles, as a type of deep foundations, are primarily intended to accept the vertical load from the superstructure; however, under certain circumstances, they are also exposed to significant lateral loads. This is the case with retaining structures, bridge piers, transmission line poles, chimneys, tall buildings, dock facilities, oil platforms, etc. ...
