Tvenkinių šlaitų tvirtinimo plokščių būklę, ilgaamžiškumą lemia jas veikiantys poveikiai ir apkrovos, susidarantys veikiant klimato sąlygoms, agresyviai aplinkai bei kitiems įvairiems veiksniams. Darbo tikslas – įvertinti Lietuvos tvenkiniuose susidarančias ledo apkrovas ir jų įtaką šlaitų tvirtinimo gelžbetoninėms plokštėms. Šiam tikslui pasiekti buvo atlikta literatūros analizė, siekiant nustatyti ledo apkrovų tipus. 2008 – 2009 m. mokslinių ekspedicijų metu natūriniais tyrimais įvertinta 14 tvenkinių šlaitų tvirtinimo gelžbetoninių plokščių būklė pagal STR.1.12.03:2006. Remiantis literatūros ir natūrinių tyrimų rezultatų analize, nustatyta, kad tvenkinių šlaitų tvirtinimo gelžbetoninės plokštės labiausiai ardomos dėl ledo poveikio. Detalesniam tyrinėjimui parinktos 4 tvenkinių plokštės, kurių suardymo pobūdis leidžia teigti, kad šlaitų tvirtinimo plokštės buvo suardytos veikiant ledo apkrovoms. Darbe ledo poveikis analizuotas vertinant prie tvenkinių šlaitų tvirtinimo plokščių prišalusio ledo vertikaliąją apkrovą Fd ir susidarantį lenkimo momentą M dėl pažemėjusio vandens lygio. Atlikus ledo apkrovos kintant vandens lygiui analitinius skaičiavimus, sudaryta šlaitų tvirtinimo gelžbetonines plokštes veikiančios apkrovos dydžio priklausomybė nuo ledo storio. Nustatyta, kad tvenkinių ledo apkrovos labiausiai priklauso nuo ledo storio – didėjant ledo storiui bendruoju atveju ir ledo apkrovos didėja. / The state and durability of the slabs strengthening slopes of the ponds are influenced by the impacts and loads occurring because of the climatic conditions, aggressive environment and other various factors. The aim of the work is to assess the ice loads that occur on the Lithuanian ponds and their influence on the concrete slabs strengthening slopes. To achieve this objective, analysis of the literature was performed to determine the types of ice loads. The state of 14 concrete slabs was evaluated by field investigations in accordance with STR. 1.12.03:2006 during the scientific expeditions in 2008-2009. In accordance with the literary and field investigation analysis, it was found out that the concrete slabs strengthening the slopes of the ponds are mostly damaged by the influence of the ice. 4 slabs of the ponds were chosen for the more detailed research. The character of the damage allows proposing that the strengthening slabs were influenced by the ice loads. In the research the effect of the ice was analyzed estimating the vertical load of the ice frozen on to the slabs strengthening slopes of the ponds Fd and bending moment M emerging because of the dropped level of the water. After analytical calculations of the ice load, when the water level is changing, were performed, the dependence of the load size on the thickness of ice was made. It was determined that ice loads of the ponds mostly depend on the thickness of the ice –in general case, when the ice is getting... [to full text]

Nowadays disabled persons are actively integrated into social life and different compensatory equipment allows them to work and travel independently. The wheelchair is one of such means; it provides mobility function for physically impaired persons. Not every disabled person has possibilities to travel by his own car, it is more convenient to use public transport facilities. Wheelchair users' transportation safety is one of the most important problems facing transit providers and engineers. Improperly or totally unsecured wheelchair can lose the stability and tip over during the emergency driving situations and result in passenger falling and becoming injured. The main object of the scientific research work is complex dynamic system "Man - Wheelchair - Vehicle", which is under action of environmental factors (road roughness, motion oscillations of vehicle). The main tasks of the work are to form and research non-linear model of dynamic system considered, to define system's stability limits and to provide means for save travel. Also to determine main characteristics of the external action and analyze its influence on to considered system; to build engineering computation methodology for estimation of the rational parameters to fasten the wheelchair to the vehicle.
