The article presents the results of experiments of reinforced concrete walls with an opening, which have been tested for load carrying capacity in the diagonal direction. These are the walls that represent shear walls in multistorey precast concrete frame structures. The influence of various types of reinforcement on their load carrying capacity and deformation is studied on the designed walls. The data obtained by the experiment is then validated by computational models that represent the behavior of the samples during the experiment. The results of the models are compared between each other and pros and cons are assessed.

The paper presents the outputs of a computational parametric study investigating the influence of both reinforcement ratio and scheme of a cross-section reinforcement on a design value of the elastic module for the homogenized cross-section and the values of the stress redistribution coefficients. The design value of the elastic module represents the steel-concrete cross section in the calculations. The stress redistribution coefficients converts the state stress in the homogenized cross-section for the state stress in steel and concrete individually. The design value of the homogenized cross-section elastic module and the stress redistribution coefficients are determined from the theory of the cooperating rings and are computed by program HOMO. The result of a study is a set of the stress redistribution coefficients and a dependency of stress redistribution coefficients on the reinforcement ratio of a steel-concrete section.

Every element must meet design requirements for using structures in buildings. One of the requirements is the fire resistance. The required properties are presented in standards and laws according to type and way of using the building. The fulfilment of requirements is declared by resistance to fire classification report. This can be done in several ways. One of them are the fire tests. The article is focused on testing of fire resistance of structures in buildings.

The paper exposes knowledge referring a correspondence of stress states in the cross-section of steel concrete lining. The two different theories size the stress states. The first a theory of cooperating rings is pursued at department of geotechnics. The second referential is a reinforced concrete theory in use at building construction habitually. The correspondence targets the evaluation of suitability and the working condition of a cooperating rings theory to state the stress in the cross-section of steel concrete lining. An investigation was work out on a steel concrete section having been endorsing by lattice girder.

3D printing technology has contribution in building automatization. Today, printed buildings for everyday usage already exist. 3D printers movements are controlled by G-code. These buildings are described geometrically and then it's transformed in G-code by postprocessor. That one for building printing must respect the properties of printing mixtures. This work designs new postprocessor for building printing. It must include mathematical model of material according to which G-code for specific building geometry will be generated. In the work are proposed experiments to find out parameters for mathematical material model.

Fire safety assessment of a building is a process in which it is necessary to take into account a number of technical requirements and aspects prescribed by Czech legislation and technical standards. The requirements based on these documents are binding and form specific requirements for buildings and their solutions, which must be taken into account in the design phase of the project, both in its construction and in the technological part. As part of the fire safety assessment, the regulations allow for the possibility of using two basic design approaches, namely the standard approach and the engineering approach. The following work presents selected examples of the application of the engineering approach (specifically using the FEM and CFD methods) for fire safety solutions in comparison with the values obtained by the classical standard approach.

Fibre reinforcing of the soils is one of the methods used for improving the properties of the soils. The many research papers were interested in the fibre reinforcing however, used fibres were straight with smooth surface usually. These properties may not ensure sufficient interaction between soil aggregates and fibres. This disadvantage could eliminate by modification of shape or surface of each fibre and achieve a higher strength of the soil-fibre composite. In this paper is present the soil reinforcing by fibres manufactured by 3D printer. The fibres with the various shapes were made and tested. In the case of the modified fibres, the higher peak strength of the composite occurred.

This article examines the process for the synthesis of forsterite–spinel refractory ceramics from different raw materials. Raw materials were milled, mixed in different ratios and sintered at 1500 °C for 2 h. Sintered samples were characterized by XRD and SEM. Porosity, water absorption, bulk density, refractoriness, refractoriness under load and thermal shock resistance were also investigated. The impact of different raw material mixtures was investigated in accordance with the resulting properties and microstructure of all fired samples. Presence of spinel in fired samples led to improved microstructural and mechanical properties and thermal shock resistance. In particular, mixtures with 10–20 % of spinel had the most promising results.

The article describes the development of a prototype vegetation facade panel using parametric modelling. Parametric modelling was then most used for the design of individual parts of the panel, especially the visual part of the panel, which consists of a mathematically generated mesh, and also to create a supporting structure for vegetation. The production of individual prototypes of panels, their parts and components was performed with the help of FDM 3D printing. Individual prototypes were further subjected to testing in real conditions to verify the functionality of the proposed prototype and to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the panel, which will be used for further development.

This paper deals with experimental verification of punching shear resistance of a slab fragment. An experimental specimen with thickness of 0.2 m is supported by a rectangular column with cross-sectional dimensions of 0.15 × 0.9 m, as a result of which the shear stress is concentrated in the area of the support corners. As a result of this phenomenon, it is necessary to reduce the length of the control perimeter. Based on the results obtained from the experimental test and from the nonlinear analysis in the Atena program, the real necessity to reduce the length of the control perimeter was analyzed using the Eurocode 2 shear resistance evaluation formula. Subsequently, the reliability of selected design models was verified.

To properly understand the meaning of standardization of daylight, it is necessary to think in general about the reason for the existence of standards and the means of their creation. Such a consideration may have its current significance at this time, when the European Commission for Standardization (CEN) unified standards for daylighting of buildings throughout Europe and when the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic approved a new building law.

The paper is elaborated in order to outline the understanding of architecture in relation to the environment and to reflect on a systemic conception of the issue of the role of architectural and urban factors in the valuation of buildings. The main task is to determine the progress of the solution method based on the initial research and analysis. A large part of the article is devoted to the explanation and definition of the system of important quantities. The results and findings will serve as a basis for further research.

The method of X-ray micro-tomography is increasingly used in the research of material characteristics and fracture behavior of building materials. It brings promising results in the field of three-dimensional observation and quantification of microstructure elements, including fracture objects. However, with the standard approach to the tomographic data acquisition, the achievable resolution is severely limited by the size of the examined object resulting in a reduction or even complete loss of useful information regarding, for example, the shape and size of the fracture process zone. For this reason, the possibilities of tomographic targetting of the region of interest with a higher achievable resolution than the usual limit of the tomographic systems have been tested in this work.

The paper briefly deals with building information modelling and creation of digital twins of buildings using modern techniques of spatial data collection (TLS). It describes an algorithm for automated verification of the building's structures. It presents algorithms for automated difference model creation between the BIM model and data obtained from TLS or photogrammetry. The results are used to verify the geometric parameters of structural elements (such as flatness of walls, straightness of pipes etc.), as well as to determine deviations in their location (position and orientation from the project itself). The information obtained is a basis for the qualification and quantification of deviations during construction management.

This work deals with research and development of a new grouting mortar with increased chemical resistance based on portland cement. The aim of this work is to verify new mixtures with specific admixtures. Resistance to attack by external sulphates was monitored, while the test specimens were placed in a sulphate solution of 29.8 g / l (44 g / l Na₂SO₄) according to DIN 19753. The results of the work show that the addition of the optimal amount of crystalline waterproofing admixture can achieve a significant increase in resistance to sulfate corrosion. Based on the obtained results, new mixtures will be proposed, optimized by the addition of suitable secondary raw materials.

The article is a follow-up to the Part 1: Experiments and analysis [1], in which a numerical model dealing with membrane structures supported by steel arches in software SOFiSTiK using 3D GNIA and 3D GNA is introduced and validated. This part investigates parametrically stability and buckling of arches of a barrel type membrane structure using linear buckling analysis (3D LBA). The in-plane and out of plane buckling factors of the arches for a vast spectrum of practical geometrical parameters of the structure, membrane pretension and support conditions of the arches and membrane frontiers are presented and confronted with the ones belonging to the arches alone.

The article describes and analyses testing of a shelter model with a textile membrane supported by a steel tube arch. The goal of the investigation is the spatial behaviour of the arch regarding its design. The difference in behaviour of the build-in arch alone and the one in the membrane structure is investigated. The entry data, prestressing and loading procedures are shown including test results. SOFiSTiK software was used for the elastic geometrically nonlinear analysis with imperfections (GNIA) respecting the orthotropic behaviour of the membrane (Précontraint FERRARI^®). The successful validation of numerical results by tests warrants the extensive parametrical studies dealing with stability of arches in barrel type membrane structures in the second Part of the article.
