As an independent research institute of the CTU, the Klokner Institute establishes cooperation with companies both in the Czech Republic and abroad. Such cooperation basically involves qualitative and quantitative research on the reliability of structures, monitoring of the behavior of buildings, and the associated processing of expert opinions on the safety of materials and structures.
ČECH BRIDGE
- Implementation: 2020
- Client: Technická správa komunikací hl. m. Prahy
The Klokner Institute of the Czech Technical University in Prague carried out part of the diagnostic survey of the Čech Bridge, including work on a variant design for the reconstruction of the bridge deck, for the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague, which was the contract manager. The diagnostic works carried out by the Klokner Institute were focused on the evaluation of the corrosion condition of the railing and its PKO, the design and condition of the bridge closures, piers and abutments, public lighting poles and decorative elements on the piers. In the alternative design for the reconstruction of the bridge deck, the possibility of replacing the existing steel bridge deck with a UHPC bridge deck was assessed.
ŠKODA AUTO IN MLADÁ BOLESLAV
- Implementation: 2020
- Client: Novák & Partner
For the purpose of reconstruction of the underground building V12 in the Škoda Auto complex in Mladá Boleslav, diagnostics of the reinforced concrete structures of the monolithic skeleton of the building was carried out. The aim of the work was to determine the compressive strength of the concrete and the influence of oil products on its mechanical properties, the reinforcement of the structural elements of the skeleton, to determine the design characteristics of the reinforcement and to determine its corrosion state, including corrosion risks and mechanical properties of the reinforcement. The diagnostics included proposals and recommendations for the reconstruction of the building.
