This paper presents the results of visual inspection and the theoretical analysis of steel structure of the upper star of the Kaplan turbo generator in the Lipno power station in the Czech Republic. Based on the number of load cycles and the finding of the maximum stress range of critical details of the most loaded part, the upper star, the residual life-time of the turbo generator was determined.

This paper presents the results of measurement of the stress and the theoretical analysis of the steel structure of the Kaplan turbo generator in the Kamýk power station in the Czech Republic. Based on the number of load cycles and the finding of the maximum stress range of critical details of the most loaded part, the lower star, the residual lifetime of the turbo generator was determined.

This paper describes the results of measurements and analysis of the parameters, characterizing technical state of offshore platforms in Vietnam Sea. Based on decreasing in time material characteristics because of corrosion and local destruction assessment on residual life time of platforms is given and variants for its repair are recommended. The results allowed to confirm advantage of proposed technical diagnostic method in comparison with others and have been used for oil and gas platform of Joint Venture "Vietsovpetro" in South Vietnam.

The paper informs about the research devoted to load–carrying capacity, fatigue strength and life–time of welded steel structures. The experimental programme comprises fatigue tests of constructional steel S380 (QStE 380 TM). In the first stage 35 specimens were tested: 9 without any weld connection, 14 with transverse milled butt weld and 12 with transverse rough butt weld. The applied loading in this stage was harmonic with constant stress range. All tests ended by fatigue failure. The second part of the research comprised the tests with block simulated loading with variable stress range. The third part applied continuous recording of stresses and strains in critical sections, that gave information about the local failure development in time. Data sets have allowed to define fatigue properties of investigated steel and degradation effects of used welds including the initiation time of remarkable changes in stress-strain stage expressed through the total kinetic energy. The degradation effects of welds on fatigue strength of structural steels were confirmed, especially it was the case of rough welds - without additional milling. Additionally, the differences in the fatigue curves inclinations were indicated that can depend on the level of fatigue strength. The applied approach gives an opportunity to analyse the effects of actual loading process and improve the methodology of judgement of fatigue strength and life-time of steel elements. Reasonable fatigue properties of this steel suggest it for using also in severe technology structures.

Power transformer is very important in electric power system due to its function to raise or lower the voltage according to its designation. On the power side, the power transformer serves to raise voltage to be transmitted to the transmission line. On the transmission side, the power transformer serves to distribute the voltage between the main substations or down to the distribution voltage. On the distribution side, the stresses are channeled to large customers or lowered to serve small and medium customers. As the power transformer is so importance, it is necessary to protect against disturbance, as well as routine and periodic maintenance, so that the power transformer can operate in accordance with the planned time. Some factors that affect the duration of the power transformer is the ambient temperature, transformer oil temperature, and the pattern of load. Load that exceeds the maximum efficiency of the transformer which is 80% of its capacity will cause an increase in transformer oil temperature. Transformer oil, other than as a cooling medium also serves as an insulator. Increasing the temperature of transformer oil will affect its ability as an isolator that is to isolate the parts that are held in the transformer, such as iron core and the coils. If this is prolonged and not handled properly, it will lead to failure / breakdown of insulation resulting in short circuit between parts so that the power transformer will be damaged. PLN data indicates that the power transformer is still burdened exceeding maximum efficiency especially operating in the work area of PLN South Bali Area. The results of this study, on distribution transformers with different loads, in DS 137, DS 263 and DS 363, show that DS 363 transformer with loading above 80% has the shortest residual life time compared to DS 263 and DS 137 which loading less than 80%.

Abstract Accelerated corrosion testing is indispensable for material selection, quality control and both initial and residual life time prediction for bare and painted metallic, polymeric, adhesive and other materials in atmospheric exposure conditions. The best known Neutral Salt Spray (NSS) test provides unrealistic conditions and poor correlation to exposures in atmosphere. Modern cyclic accelerated corrosion tests include intermittent salt spray, wet and dry phases and eventually other technical phases. They are able to predict the material performance in service more correctly as documented on several examples. The use of NSS should thus be restricted for quality control.

Steel structure climbing formwork has been widely used in bridge pier and bridge tower, etc. But the design of 30 degrees slope climbing formwork design is rarely involved. The climbing formwork which in the upper surface of leaning bridge tower is affected by concrete buoyancy and the downside is affected by concrete gravity .That cause insufficient stiffness,deformation of the template,non-uniform cross-section of the bridge and large angle deviation which have great harm to the bridge quality .This paper which combined the construction project of Huaibei Xiangwang Bridge establish the mode of climbing formwork, then, import the mode to the Workbench14.5 proceeding simulation analysis. Getting the stress and deformation of the climbing formwork, check the strength and stiffness .Then optimize the structure of climbing formwork to ensure the stiffness and control the deformation of the template. The stress of downside climbing formwork after optimization is uniform and maximum stress is reduced about 30% .This paper provide a reference to the design of the climbing formwork used in the large angle leaning bridge tower.
