Řešitelský tým ÚTAMu odjel 23.10. do Brna měřit pomocí rychlé tenzometrie reálnou dynamickou odezvu různých druhů drátkobetonových kompozic do zkušebny firmy Prototypa. Složení panelů vzniká současně na VÚT Brno a ve Výzkumném ústavu stavebních hmot. V kooperaci s firmou Bogges zajišťuje ÚTAM tato pokročilá měření, která ve výsledku poslouží jako vstupní data důležitým numerickým modelům.
Na jistě akční a unikátní zkoušky se můžete podívat na našem videu.
Práce probíhají v rámci bezpečnostního výzkumu za podpory projektu TAČR „Prostředky pro zvýšení balistické ochrany vozidel a kritické infrastruktury“.

Starting Research Career Infrastructure Services in Heritage Science

Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Czech Academy of Sciences operates specialised research infrastructure for heritage science and provides services for interdisciplinary research in the field. The STARCAIS programme offers infrastructure support to young researchers – Ph.D. students or post-docs - at the beginning of their career.

CONSErvation of 20th centrury concrete Cultural Heritage in urban changing environments

CONSECH20 is a research project that aims at developing effective approaches for conservation and protection of 20th cent. heritage concrete buildings against the ever-changing urban impacts, taking into account both technical and social aspects.

The website deals with historical production of burnt lime and related lime technologies, traditional craftsmanship of prossesing and utilization of lime in construction. The main objective is a thourough and complex knowledge of the above, a material-based research and a reconstruction of historical procedures. A common goal is to bring attention to the unique historical techniques, which used to be succesfully employed in the past, nowadays, however, are for the main part forgotten. The website is concieved as an open one, striving to gradually add new related information researched by a wide range of experts on archeology, construction materials, history of construction etc.

In the second half of 1990s, an increased attention was paid to the safeguarding of the built heritage and its integration into the life of contemporary society. The complexity of problems of cultural heritage called for modern interdisciplinary approach and this was started in a systematic way in 1995 by founding of a new department of the Institute - the Associated Research Centre for Historic Structures and Sites (ARCHISS) - joining together researchers from two institutes of the Academy of Sciences. The process continued, because of success in grant project competitions and now there are scientists involved in the research from other institutes and universities and two operating research units - one in Prague and one in another World Heritage City of Telč.
