vyztuení

Vyztužené is a Czech adjective meaning reinforced or strengthened by the addition of a reinforcement. It is used to describe materials, components, or structures that have been provided with additional support elements to improve their load-bearing capacity, stiffness, or resistance to damage. The word is formed from the verb vyztužit (to reinforce) and the feminine/neuter form vyztužený, vyztužená, vyztužené depending on gender and number.

In construction and civil engineering, the term most commonly appears with concrete as reinforced concrete. This technique embeds steel reinforcement bars or cages within concrete to resist tensile stresses, enhancing overall structural performance. Other forms include pre-stressed or post-tensioned variants, where prestressing elements add further strength. Vyztužené concrete is a standard in many building elements such as slabs, beams, and foundations.

In materials science, vyztužené also describes reinforced plastics and composites. Polymers reinforced with glass fibers (GFRP) or carbon fibers (CFRP) offer increased stiffness, strength, and sometimes reduced weight compared with unreinforced plastics. Such materials are used in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.

In glass technology, vyztužené sklo refers to safety or reinforced glass, which may involve laminates, wire meshes, or interlayers to improve impact resistance and safety characteristics.

Overall, vyztužené denotes a broad concept of enhancement through reinforcement, spanning construction, engineering materials, and advanced composites. The specific method of reinforcement and its behavior depend on the material system and the intended service conditions.
