Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2nd International Conference on Structural and Physical Aspects of Civil Engineering (SPACE-2013), November 27-29, 2013, High Tatras, Slovakia. The main aim of the book are: 1. Static and dynamic analysis of structures, 2. Seismic and stability problems of building structures, 3. Experimental analysis and diagnostics of structures, 4. Resistance, durability and reliability of structures, 5. Static - structural, shape and material optimization of structures, 6. Numerical methods, simulations and mathematical applications, 7. Failure, damages and reconstructions of structures. Keyword: Static and dynamic analysis of structures; Seismic and stability problems of building structures; Experimental analysis and diagnostics of structures; Resistance, durability and reliability of structures; Static - design, shape and material optimization of structures; Numerical methods, simulations and mathematical applications; Failure, damages and reconstructions of structures Sixty-four papers from the November 2013 conference investigate the properties of building materials and the response of buildings to stress or change. Six papers from Brno University of Technology evaluate the effect of cement replacement by zeolite or fly ash in concrete, spontaneous drying of alkali-activated slag mortar, concrete fatigue in railroad sleeper cars, and lime mortar enhanced with brick powder or metakaolin. Other topics include a scarf joint for reconstruction of historical structures, classification of steel mine support sections, delamination of laminate plates, monitoring fungus in buildings, and software for optimizing a castle waterproofing retrofit. -- Civil engineering-- Construction-- Materials science Structural and Physical Aspects of Civil Engineering 2 Preface 5 Table of Contents 6 A RSM Approximation in Probabilistic Nonlinear Analysis of Fire Resistance of Technology Support Structures 9 A Scarf Joint for Reconstructions of Historical Structures 17 Adjustment of the Stress State of a Membrane Structure in Barrandov 24 An Energetic Approach to Rate Independent Delamination with Cohesive Contact -
