In the present article, the research results of concretes modified with a polymer dispersion of vinyl-benzene and acrylic (PC1) and with a styrene–butadiene dispersion (PC2) are discussed. Concretes were exposed to diesel, non-ethylated fuel, and the standard mixture of light liquids for 1000 h. Concretes modified with polymer dispersions, especially with the styrene–butadiene dispersion (PC2), indicated a smaller degree of liquid penetration into the depth of samples compared to the control concrete. The compressive strength for tested concretes, determined after 1000 h of storage in crude-oil products, in comparison to the strength of samples stored in de-mineralized water was significantly decreased, with the maximum differences equal to 12% for PC2 concrete.

It is known that RC industrial structures are liable to the effects of crude oil products, which may have a disadvantageous influence on their exploitation and safety. Within this research, the influence of crude oil products on the physico-mechanical properties of mature concrete, as well as other possible mechanisms of RC progressive failure have been analysed. Crude oil products with a very low neutralisation number were found to be physico-chemical active agents affecting concrete. Experimental analysis undertaken in order to assess the compressive strength of concrete and its bond to reinforcements is described. Long term investigations were conducted in order to determine the effects of a group of crude oil products—mineral oils—on the properties of concrete and reinforced concrete samples. Detailed results of this research are included in the paper. Comparing the influence of different mineral oils on the compressive strength of concrete, leads to the conclusion that there are large differences in their effects. The paper also attempts to answer the question of how the characteristics of RC structure bonds change over time of exposure to mineral oils. The problem of the influence of organic agents on concrete and its bond under conditions of natural humidity is mainly linked to its structure. In the case of oil products, there are four possible mechanisms i.e., biological, chemical, physical and physico-chemical, affecting concrete, its bond and, sometimes, reinforcements. Each of these mechanisms is presented. Necessary laboratory tests were performed in order to prove the thesis that the content of active surface polar molecules in active agents is the reason behind concrete damage brought about by crude oil products. The conducted experiments demonstrated that the effects of artificial environments (on concrete) prepared by the author, are the same as those of widely used industrial mineral oils. Santrauka Yra žinoma, kad gelžbetoninės pramoninės konstrukcijos yra jautrios neapdirbtos naftos produktams, o tai gali turėti neigiamąįtaką jų eksploatacijai ir saugumui. Šiame tyrime analizuojama neapdirbtos naftos produktų įtaka brandaus betono fizinėms ir mechaninėms savybėms, aptariami galimi poveikiai, skatinantys progresyvų gelžbetonio irimą. Buvo nustatyta, kad neapdirbtos naftos produktai, turintys labai žemą neutralizavimo laipsnį, yra fiziniai ir cheminiai reagentai, veikiantys betoną. Straipsnyje aptariamas eksperimentas, kuris buvo atliktas siekiant įvertinti betono stiprį gniuždant ir jo sukibtį su armatūra. Buvo atlikti ilgai trunkantys bandymai, siekiant nustatyti neapdirbtos naftos produktų grupės—mineralinių naftos produktų—poveikį betono savybėms ir armatūros bandiniams. Šiame straipsnyje pateikiami išsamūs tyrimų rezultatai. Skirtingų mineralinių naftos produktų poveikio betono stipriui palyginimas leidžia daryti išvadą, kad poveikiai gali būti labai skirtingi. Straipsnyje stengiamasi atsakyti į klausimą—kaip keičiasi gelžbetonio sukibtis laikui bėgant, jo neapsaugojus nuo mineralinių naftos produktų poveikio. Natūralios drėgmėssąlygomis organinių reagentų įtaka betonui ir jo sukibčiai daugiausia priklauso nuo jo struktūros. Veikiant naftos produktams galimi keturi pagrindiniai poveikiai—biologinis, cheminis, fizinis, fizinis ir cheminis, kurie veikia betoną, jo sukibimą ir kartais armatūrą. Kiekvienas šių poveikių yra aptariamas straipsnyje. Siekiant įrodyti teiginį, kad aktyvios paviršiaus polinės molekulės, esančios aktyviuose reagentuose, yra priežastis, dėl kurios betonas veikiamas neapdirbtos naftos produktų, buvo atlikti būtini laboratoriniai bandymai. Atlikti eksperimentai parodė, kad dirbtinės aplinkos poveikiai (betonui), sumodeliuoti autoriaus, yra tokie patys kaip ir tie, kurie atsiranda dėl plačiai naudojamų pramoninių naftos produktų.

In this paper a case study about concrete strength assessment of bridge structure experiencing fire is discussed. Assessment methods include activities of visual inspection, concrete testing by Hammer Test, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test, and Core Test. Then, test results are compared with the requirement of RSNI T-12-2004. Test results show that surface concrete at the location of fire deteriorates so that its quality is decreased into the category of Very Poor with ultrasonic pulse velocity ranges between 1,14 – 1,74 km/s. From test results also it can be known that concrete compressive strength of inner part of bridge pier ranges about 267 – 274 kg/cm2 and concrete compressive strength of beam and plate experiencing fire directly is about 173 kg/cm2 and 159 kg/cm2. It can be concluded that surface concrete strength at the location of fire does not meet the requirement of RSNI T-12-2004. So, repair on surface concrete of pier, beam, and plate at the location of fire is required.

This study aims to predict the compressive strength of concrete using a machine-learning algorithm with linear regression analysis and to evaluate its accuracy. The open-source software library TensorFlow was used to develop the machine-learning algorithm. In the machine-earning algorithm, a total of seven variables were set: water, cement, fly ash, blast furnace slag, sand, coarse aggregate, and coarse aggregate size. A total of 4297 concrete mixtures with measured compressive strengths were employed to train and testing the machine-learning algorithm. Of these, 70% were used for training, and 30% were utilized for verification. For verification, the research was conducted by classifying the mixtures into three cases: the case where the machine-learning algorithm was trained using all the data (Case-1), the case where the machine-learning algorithm was trained while maintaining the same number of training dataset for each strength range (Case-2), and the case where the machine-learning algorithm was trained after making the subcase of each strength range (Case-3). The results indicated that the error percentages of Case-1 and Case-2 did not differ significantly. The error percentage of Case-3 was far smaller than those of Case-1 and Case-2. Therefore, it was concluded that the range of training dataset of the concrete compressive strength is as important as the amount of training dataset for accurately predicting the concrete compressive strength using the machine-learning algorithm.

This paper presents the synchronisation of economic cycles of GDP and crude oil and oil products cargo volumes in major Polish seaports. On the one hand, this issue fits into the concept of sustainable development including decoupling; on the other hand, the synchronisation may be an early warning tool. Crude oil and oil products cargo volumes are a specific barometer that predicts the next economic cycle, especially as they are primary sources of energy production. The research study applies a number of TRAMO/SEATS methods, the Hodrick–Prescott filter, spectral analysis, correlation and cross-correlation function. Noteworthy is the modern approach of using synchronisation of economic cycles as a tool, which was described in the paper. According to the study results, the cyclical components of the cargo traffic and GDP were affected by the leakage of other short-term cycles. However, based on the cross-correlation, it was proved that changes in crude oil and oil products cargo volumes preceded changes in GDP by 1–3 quarters, which may be valuable information for decision-makers and economic development planners.
