Description: The 25th International Conference Concrete Days 2018 was held in Prague, Czech Republic from November 21st – 22nd, 2018. The published papers present recent research results in the area of modern concretes and concrete structures, discuss modeling and design of concrete structures, bridges, and buildings, properties of concretes as well as significant structural projects and realizations.

Description:

The concept of the 22nd Concrete Days (CD 2015) allowed a rich programme of expert lectures and posters but also enough time for professional discussions, informal business negotiations and friendly meetings.

The Czech Concrete Society CSSI as the organizing body of the conference has done its best to ensure a convenient stay for 22 times. There were more than 310 participants at the conference this time.

The selected papers include recent results of scientific and engineering decisions in area of researching of properties and manufacturing technologies of modern concretes; modelling and design of structure elements from concrete and realization of significant construction projects.

Description: The main objective of this book is to present the modern methods and techniques of experimental and computational investigations in area of construction.

Description: Physical and numerical simulations make it possible for materials science to go from experience-based to science-based, and from qualitative to quantitative understanding. Physical simulations, which effectively reveal the underlying principles of a material’s structure and property evolution, save significant amounts of time and money. Numerical simulations meanwhile permit descriptions and forms of material processes which are impossible to achieve experimentally. Both types of simulation are naturally gaining acceptance worldwide, and will become a prominent approach used in materials research in the 21st century. Young researchers will therefore benefit greatly from studying this volume.

Description: This periodical edition includes peer-reviewed papers based on results of scientific research and engineering solutions in different areas of modern engineering science.
