Changes of dynamic properties of a timber frame due to simulated seismic load: a case study
Bayer, Jan ; Pospíšil, Stanislav ; Urushadze, Shota ; Kasal, B.
The data from a laboratory seismic resistance test of a three-story timber frame stiffened with steel joints were used to compare sweep and random excitation techniques on the platform of experimental modal analysis. The changes of mechanical properties due to increasing seismic load of the timber structure are demonstrated on corresponding changes of vibration modes and on changes of averaged frequency response functions. The comparison of averaged frequency response functions turned out to be at least as efficient tool for damage indication as the comparison of modal properties in this case. The experiences obtained in this case study are aimed at increasing the efficiency of dynamic tests and methods of Structural Health Monitoring.

Assessment of vibrations in museum's environment
Valach, Jaroslav ; Wolf, Benjamin ; Paulová, E. ; Urushadze, Shota
This paper deals with measurement of mechanical vibrations and accelerations threatening objects in museum collections. Two case studies are presented. The first case analyses situation in museum exhibitions strongly influenced by street traffic in its close proximity. It compares results obtained by sensitive professional measurement system to the custom-built user device for acceleration recording. The second case analyzes object’s accelerations during transport based on measurement by the custom-built device.

The influence of deformation of the frame of testing device on the accuracy of Brazilian test and indirect assessment of Young modulus
Major, Štěpán ; Vavřík, Daniel ; Kocour, Vladimír ; Bryscejn, Jan
This article deals with determination of mechanical properties based on indirect measurements of brittle building materials like stones using portable device. Due to the fact, that the material samples may change their properties during transportation, it is preferred to test samples on site. For these reasons, portable testing device was developed. The testing machine operates on the split test principle. The device also shall to serve for estimation of other mechanical characteristics of the tested material, such as Young's modulus, compressive strength or flexural strength, etc. This paper concentrates on the effect of deformation of frame on the accuracy of indirect determination of mechanical properties.

Properties of commercially available, ready-to-use mortars for restoration of historic renders and masonry
Janotová, Dana ; Niedoba, Krzysztof ; Gláser, Petr ; Šašek, Petr ; Fabeš, Roman
There is a wide range of premixed, dry mortars, on the market, designed with the reconstruction of historic renders and masonry in mind. The use of such materials has some advantages, including good workability and standard quality, however, due to unknown composition, being a secret of a manufacturer, it is frequently impossible to predict their influence on the substrate and on the ageing. If the ready-to-use mortar is to be applied during the renovation of the historic masonry, it is necessary to know: how close the mortars’ properties match the properties of the original material; will the repair be durable enough and will it degrade faster than the original material. Technical information, provided by the manufacturer, does not contain such data. The only parameters given, are the strength, porosity of hardened mortar and water vapour diffusion coefficient, however, it is not specified in which conditions these values were measured.

Strengthening of weak historic renders with traditional and innovated consolidation treatment
Slížková, Zuzana ; Frankeová, Dita
The presented study was aimed to proof consolidation effects of different families of consolidants: inorganic agents (lime -based or silica-based solutions or sols), organic agents (silicic acid ester based consolidant) and their combination on the characteristics of weak mortars prepared in laboratory with different types of aggregates. Besides exploring consolidant-substrate interaction also the pozzolanic activity of the aggregate and the binder mortar component after reaction with lime (calcium hydroxide solution) was investigated in order to understand and describe the strengthening mechanism into consolidated mortars. As the study was based on experimental research, the production of mortar test specimens represented an important preliminary work. Different mortar components (various types of sand in terms of phase composition, clay, lime) and the same ratio of the aggregate and the binder were used in various mortar mixtures. Various mineralogical types of aggregate were used with the same grain size distribution (600 pieces of tubes of 40 mm in outer diameter, of the height of 40 mm and depth of 4 mm were prepared for testing the compressive strength, for the tension tests 550 thin plates of dimensions 40 mm x 100 mm x 4 mm were cast and 600 beams 20 x 20 x100mm were made for testing the flexural strength and other characteristics of reference and consolidated mortars). The sand used for mortar specimens was characterized by microscopic examination of thin section and also by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The pozzolanic activity of the sands (reactivity with calcium hydroxide) was determined by means of the thermal analysis and supplemented by wet silicate analysis. The amount of the effective matter in the consolidant was the same for all agents per the square unit for all mortar types and specimen shape. One set of specimens was prepared as the reference set the second set was used for the evaluation.
