The proposed contribution describes the formulation of the optimization design of a utility tunnel lining. The objective function is defined as a multicriterial problem and includes economic and environmental aspects ...

Main goal of the paper is to present an algorithm for stochastic optimization of design of steel-reinforced concrete element’s cross section. Firstly, the deterministic problem is introduced and described, followed by the ...

This contribution compares concrete structure design results obtained via the partial reliability factor method and using a probability-based method. The Monte Carlo simulation method, modified by the Latin Hypercube ...

The article deals with the influence of an acidic environment on the mechanical properties of a Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) grid. The influence of an acidic environment is examined on samples cut from a GFRP grid. ...
