Introduction Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite materials have been heavily researched for use in civil engineering industry in many forms, e.g., FRP laminates for structural strengthening, FRP tendons for post-tensioned structures, and FRP reinforcing bars for RC structures.
In this regard, Canadian scientists and engineers have been pioneering in developing alternatives to steel reinforcement.
As none of GFRP RC projects have served over a long period of time, acceptance of GFRP bar to civil engineering industry is still very limited.

Degradation phenomena can affect civil structures over their lifespan.
The analysis of experimental results and theoretical developments provides useful design criteria for the fabrication of CNT/cement composites optimized for SHM applications in civil engineering.
Taking into account that CNT/cement composites are developed for real applications in civil engineering, the effect of water content on the piezoresistive response is of interest.

Identification of Effective Material Characteristics in Semilinear Equations of Heat and Mass Transfer Jiří Vala 1, a * and Petra Jarošová1, b 1Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering, 602 00 Brno, Veveří 331/95, Czech Republic avala.j@fce.vutbr.cz, bjarosova.pj@fce.vutbr.cz *corresponding author Keywords: Heat and mass transfer, inverse problems, nondestructive testing.
Utilization of advanced materials in civil engineering motivates research in both experimental and computational methods of reliable identification of their material characteristics, as e.g. the thermal conductivity and diffusivity in semilinear evolutionary equations of heat conduction, coming from the energy balance in classical thermodynamics, or the capillary transfer coefficient in similar equations, coming from the mass balance.
Introduction Development of advanced materials in civil engineering, accompanied with the progress in structures and technologies, requires new experimental and computational methods of identification of their material characteristics.
