After the model is validated with existing experimental data, the effects of reinforcement index in upper and lower flanges, effective prestress and concrete strength on the moment redistribution behaviour is analysed. It is shown that increasing the reinforcement index in lower flange or effective prestress can increase the amount of bending moment redistribution, whereas increasing the concrete strength or reinforcement index in upper flange can decrease the amount of bending moment redistribution. By inspecting the sensitivity of parameters, it is found that the reinforcement index in lower flange has the most significant influence on the moment redistribution, followed by the concrete strength and then by the effective prestress, while the reinforcement index in upper flange has only little impact on the moment redistribution. The calculation results are compared with the existing formulas. Finally, a moment redistribution formula is proposed for continuous PC box girder with corrugated steel webs.","PeriodicalId":169478,"journal":{"name":"The proceedings of the 13th international conference \"Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques\" (MBMST 2019)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115603195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is manifested in ensuring continuous and regular production with a full usage of\u0000their executive potential. The purpose of harmonization is to eliminate unjustified interruptions in the work of resources. When planning the realization of non-repetitive construction projects, one should use methods of scheduling\u0000that allow the analysis of the project model not only as a function of time. It is also important to take into account the\u0000effectiveness of using your own resources and limitations in their availability. The article analyzes the problem of\u0000harmonizing the work of crews of the general contractor, performing non-rhythmic, non-cyclical and inhomogeneous\u0000processes under the assumption of deterministic operating conditions. An important issue from the point of view of\u0000reducing the costs of crews’ employment is the continuity of their work. A mathematical model was developed concerning the problem of minimization of downtime in the work of the general contractor crews with a directively fixed\u0000time and limit of the project realization cost, taking into account the limitations in the availability of crews and the\u0000possibility to outsource works to subcontractors. The possibility of subcontracting works does not allow for a clear indication in the project model sequences of processes carried out by crews and the usage of previously developed\u0000scheduling methods. The method of solving the model (in a linear form with continuous and binary variables) is presented in the example. Additionally, the proposed method allows analyzing the impact of the amount of downtime at\u0000work on the duration of the project and the impact of the work outsourced to subcontractors on the continuity of the\u0000general contractor’s work.","PeriodicalId":169478,"journal":{"name":"The proceedings of the 13th international conference \"Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques\" (MBMST 2019)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121045195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For these reasons, the effectiveness of fire safety systems in various kinds of facilities\u0000or structures is extremely important. One of the determinants of this effectiveness is so-called fire insulation, i.e. time\u0000expressed in minutes after which an increase in the temperature of a protected structure or facility exceeds a certain\u0000admissible value (140 °C). The results of investigations presented in the article concern the determination of the effect\u0000of various mineral binders used in the manufacture of insulation boards from expanded perlite on fire resistance and, in\u0000consequence, on extending the time of fire insulation in the conditions of cellulose and hydrocarbon fire. The conducted\u0000research has revealed that the fire resistance of perlite products can be modelled by selecting adequate mineral binders,\u0000with respect to specific applications and economic considerations. Insulation boards based on expanded perlite – depending on the binder used – were characterized by a fire insulation ranging (with a board thickness of 50 mm) from 50\u0000to 100 minutes in the conditions of cellulose fire and from 20 to 30 minutes in the conditions of hydrocarbon fire.","PeriodicalId":169478,"journal":{"name":"The proceedings of the 13th international conference \"Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques\" (MBMST 2019)","volume":"277 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124461192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the research experiment was performed large-dimensional specimens, on which volume changes were measured using string strain gauges. Below the large-dimensional specimens were designed sliding joints. The specimens were placed in a controlled laboratory environment and in an outdoor environment to simulate real conditions during construction and the measurements were carried out for several months. Volume changes of the concrete were compared to each other and significant influence of the sliding joints was observed. Significant influence on the development of volume changes also has dispersed reinforcement. Another part of the article is a comparison of experimental results with calculation models that allow to calculate the final shrinkage of concrete. Comparison results of volume changes with calculation models is important for demonstrating the effect of sliding joint, as currently valid calculation models do not consider the influence of subsoil and sliding joints, and the results are different as expected. For comparison model B4 (Bazant, 2015), model from technical standard EN 1992-1-1 (CSN EN 1992-1-1, 2006), model from fib model code 2010 (FIB, 2010) and model ACI (ACI, 2008) are used. The paper describes a unique experiment dealing with the influence of sliding joint on the development of volume changes of concrete from beginning of setting and hardening of concrete under precisely defined conditions, that allow comparison with calculation models and thus points to the shortcomings of the building practice.","PeriodicalId":169478,"journal":{"name":"The proceedings of the 13th international conference \"Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques\" (MBMST 2019)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132580924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
