Composite materials have become synonymous with modernity, desired in nearly every aspect of our daily lives, from simple everyday objects to sanitary facilities, pipelines, the construction of modern sewer networks, their renovation, water supply, and storage reservoirs, to complex structures—automotive, planes, and space science. Composites have seen a considerable rise in attention owing to their characteristics, durability,...

Culvert structures made of plastics are employed extensively in the construction of new facilities as well as the renovation of existing ones. Due to the high costs of materials required for the manufacturing of these goods, the objective of this research is focused to lessen the thickness of the walls, which may, on the other hand, result in a reduction in the stiffness of the system. In the course of the testing, the structure...

W artykule przedstawiono badania porównawcze przepustów wykonanych z tworzywa GRP (Glass Reinforcement Poliester) zabudowanych w warunkach naturalnych i obciążanych układem sił symulujących obciążenia komunikacyjne zgodne z „Modelem Obciążenia 1” wg [7]. Analizowano dwie konstrukcje o identycznym przekroju poprzecznym (profil dzwonowy DN3000/2400), ale różnej grubości ścianki: standardowej 45 mm i zredukowanej 35 mm. Badania obejmowały...
