In seasonal frozen region, the performance of asphalt pavement is affected severely by the freeze-thaw cycles. The binder is the first factor that affected by these cycles. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of EVA polymer modified bitumen after freeze - thaw cycles. Before and after thermal cycling, the complex modulus and phase angle, creep and recovery, also m-value and creep stiffness, were experimentally determined by the rheometers DSR and BBR. Results obtained indicate that freezing - thawing cycles change the rheological behavior of polymer modified bitumen, which translated in reducing the performance of this binder.

Este cunoscut principiul in baza caruia functioneaza repartitoarele electronice de costuri: evaluarea caldurii cedate de catre un corp radiant ca functie de diferenta de temperatura dintre suprafata sa si mediul ambiant, pentru un anume interval de timp, cunoscuta fiind puterea sa nominala in conditii de referinta. Prezentul articol propune explicitarea manierei in care aceste dispozitive afiseaza cifre care pot sa para de cele mai multe ori misterioase. De asemenea, articolul propune analiza modului in care principiul de lucru al acestor dispozitive se armonizeaza cu normativele curente ce reglementeaza repartizarea costurilor cu incalzirea.

It is generally assumed that the working principle of the electronic heat cost allocators is well known: evaluation of heat emitted by a radiator, as a function of the difference between the surfaces's temperature of the radiator and the indoor air temperature, for a certain period of time, taking into account the radiator's nominal power in nominal conditions. The purpose of this article is to bring into light the manner in which these devices are adding up units to an index that occurs usually mysterious to most of us. We also intend to analyze how the current regulations on the heat cost allocation, is in compliance with the working principle of these devices.

Depreciation of outdoor air quality in an urban centre is a certainty and is due mainly to road traffic.The objective of this work is to evaluate the influence of emissions from road transport over ambient recorded in an urban area with high density of population. For this, the level of pollution of the lower troposphere from Bucharest was monitored with the help of a network of eight points of measurement. The analyzed pollutants were ozone(O3), nitrous oxides (NOx/NO2) and other chemical species involved in photochemical smog. Among other things, resulted in the fact that concentrations of ozone and nitrogen oxides are inversely correlated.

Contractul de antrepriza pentru lucrari de constructie reprezinta o varietate a contractului de antrepriza si este expres reglementat in Codul Civil, ce a intrat in vigoare la data de 01.10.2011. Acest contract isi gaseste sediul materiei in art. 1874, dar el trebuie coroborat cu dispozitiile art 1851 Cod Civil, pentru a putea enunta o definitie a acestuia, respectiv este contractul prin care o persoana, numita antreprenor se obliga, in schimbul unui pret, fata de o alta persoana, numita beneficiar sa execute o lucrare, care, in mod obligatoriu necesita obtinerea unei autorizatii de construire. Practic, de aici se observa specificul acestui tip de contract, respectiv executarea unei lucrari de construire, in orice forma a sa, pentru a carei indeplinire si valabilitate trebuie, in prealabil, obtinerea de la organele si institutiile competente (de regula Primariile) a unei autorizatii de construire, in conditiile legii.
