FLEXIBILITY IN MANAGEMENT OF MODERNIZATION IN CONSTRUCTION - ELECTRICAL WORKS
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 17
Abstract
The article presents the general principles of flexible approach, illustrated with case study regarding flexibility in modernization. Flexibility is understood in the present case as a skilful adaptation to changes in the dynamically changing environment. The essence of flexibility approach is being staged to make decisions based on environmental and process monitoring in progress. Presented case study of upgrading the electrical system in the multi-family housing in the common area is based on step by step procedure responding to damage state of this system. Simple analysis is based on cost comparison but there are other criteria (environmental, social etc.) and conflict solving situations taken into account in presented paper.

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF STEEL-REINFORCED CONCRETE COMPOSITE GIRDERS
The article presents a numerical model of a typical composite girder which consists of a strip of a reinforced concrete slab resting on a steel beam. Compatibility of horizontal displacements is assumed in the slab-beam...
Selected practical and methodological aspects of renovations and adaptations of modernist buildings from the after-war period in Upper Silesia
At the beginning of the economic transformation in Poland, buildings constructed after 1945 were treated as symbols of an unacceptable system. Currently, the modernist architecture of the twentieth century is seen as an...
NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF A SHEAR CONNECTION MADE USING A TOP-HAT PROFILE
The paper proposed a numerical model of a shear connection between a reinforced concrete slab and a steel shape. The connection was made using a top-hat profile. A method for conducting experimental research on shear con...
