Transforming the Requirements for the Modern Architectonic Design in Terms of the Placement of Human Remains

Juračka, Ondřej; Frolíková Palánová, Klára

2017 Transactions of the VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava, Civil Engineering Series.

doi:10.1515/tvsb-2017-0022

AbstractBehind every human death there is a story, unique to the human being, one that comes to a close after the official funeral ceremony. Generally, ‘close’ is the word essential for the bereaved and should govern the entire funeral process until the eventual placement of the remains. Today, a...

Elevated Tank Due to Earthquake Even

Kotrasová, Kamila

2017 Transactions of the VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava, Civil Engineering Series.

doi:10.1515/tvsb-2017-0024

AbstractElevated reservoirs are mainly used for storing of variety water. During earthquake activity the fluid exerts impulsive and convective (sloshing) effects on the walls and bottom of tank. This paper provides theoretical background for analytical calculating of elevated water tank due to...
