This article deals with the development of lightweight UHPC facade panel which also can serve as an LED display. Combining both functions into one gives the potential ability to create a LED display on the facade of the building. The article describes the experiences of the development and production of a small-format prototype facade panel, including the installation of LEDs and their electrical connection. The result of the research is the prototype of a 16mm thick small-format lightweight facade panel with a LED display for displaying text on two parallel lines. Thanks to the waffle lightening, the total material and weight savings are approximately 58% compared with the full cross section.

Electrical power cables are used in conjunction with floating units for provision of energy to installations on the sea bed, power from land to the floater, or export of power from a wind turbine to land. Power cables that are linked to a floating unit are subjected to fatigue loading from the waves and due to the movement of the vessel in the waves. Fatigue strength needs to be verified for design. Fatigue performance of a 300 mm2 stranded copper conductor was investigated. The experimental work included fatigue tests of individual wires and full cross section conductors including unlubricated and lubricated conductors. Individual wires from different layers were tested in tension-tension mode with stress ratio R = 0.1. Full cross-section conductors were tested in cyclic reversed bending with constant tension at ends, simulating the loading at the top end of a conductor hanging off a floating structure through a bellmouth. The objective of this paper is experimental assessment of the fatigue strength of a 300 mm2 copper conductor and to investigation of the mechanisms of fatigue crack initiation and growth in individual wires. At the time of submission the test program was still in progress, and conclusions are tentative only. An updated paper with complete results will be published at a later stage.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation into the strength and level of ductile performance of two reinforced concrete masonry columns and one reinforced clay brick column by Singh [1993]. The results show that strength of reinforced concrete and clay masonry can be predicted by using full cross-section dimensions. Columns constructed from concrete masonry behave in a ductile manner but clay masonry columns behave in a very limited ductile manner.

On the results of numerical simulation of stress-strain behavior of containing block near machinery hall and transformer room of Rogunskaya Hydro Power Plant carried out using method of finite integral equations for model of linear deformable quasi-isotropic surrounding of laminated rock solid the character, regularities and specifics of stress behavior distribution of containing block are established. The estimation of impact of gradual revelation of full cross section of machinery hall on changing of elastic convergence “machinery hall bottom – cope” and forming of nonelastic deformation zones near its contour is given.

In the paper there is presented the algorithm of calculation of normal stresses in reinforced concrete three-flue chimney. The calculation has been made for full cross-section and for cross-section weakened by openings. The governing equations has been derived in an analytical form assuming linear physical laws for concrete and steel and, as for as considered cross-section weakened by openings, taking into account the additional reinforcing steel bars at the openings. In addition coefficients B and C have been determined, which are useful at dimensioning.

The state of preservation of Banganarti’s unique medieval mud-brick fortifications and the deposits accumulated against them allows a study of the history of these defenses and their immediate surroundings. Trenches excavated in the northeastern corner of the fortifications in 2016 gave a full cross section, starting with the layers preceding the construction of the defenses, through two phases of the fortifications and ending with traces of secondary use of the ruins.

Liquid slugs have a relatively low mass and can therefore — when they occupy a full cross-section of a pipeline — be accelerated to very high velocities by means of pressurized gas. When entrapped gas pockets are present, pressures and temperatures may become dangerously high. Simple models and analytical solutions are derived and used to predict transient velocities, pressures and temperatures. The models have a generic character as they also describe the basics of breaking surface waves impacting on a wall, and pigs and bullets propelled by compressed gas.
