Description:

This book represents the selected papers from the 28th Concrete Days held May 19-20, 2022, in Prague, Czech Republic. It comprises the results of scientific investigation and engineering solutions in the area of construction and is focused on the properties of various modern concrete and concrete structures.

The reader will find in the book the analysis of the properties and behaviour of concrete, various admixtures, building composites and other materials, as well as studies of various building structures with metal and composite elements, their mechanical properties and fatigue and damage processes. Some issues of technical supervision and sustainable development in the construction sector are also observed. This book will be helpful not only to engineers but also to academic researchers and students involved in activities related to the construction industry.

Description: This book collected from papers presented on the 6th International Conference on Mechanics of Masonry Structures Strengthened With Composite Materials (MuRiCo6, June 26-28, 2019, Bologna, Italy). The aim of this collection is to present and review the latest achievements in modelling, testing and controlling masonry structures strengthened with composite materials. The innovative strengthening apparatus here considered consists of composites with continuous fibres (carbon, steel, basalt, aramid, glass, PBOб etc.) reinforcing polymer or inorganic matrices. The special problems regarding the strengthening of monumental historic constructions, considering appropriate techniques in the domain of architecture structural conservation, are focused in many scientific articles authored by eminent scientists.
