One challenge that present-day cities face as they develop is their having to compete on a global scale and to accentuate that which sets them apart from other cities. In that sense, smaller cities are especially under threat, as they live in the shadow of metropolises in the process of globalization. Recently, place branding has proven itself capa...

Vibration in buildings may occur from different external or internal sources. Where occupants can detect vibration in buildings, it may potentially impact their comfort or working efficiency. Some vibration sources give rise to audible effects such as structure-borne noise and airborne noise, and secondary rattling of building elements or contents....

Large dams are exposed to the influence of various forces which in time cause changes in their position and geometry. Knowledge about changes in position and geometry of large dams is of crucial importance for their stability and security determination. Dams, in process of deformation analysis, are approximated by set of discrete points and on the ...

If the loading is non-conservative, the loss of stability may not manifest itself as the system going into another equilibrium state, but as exhibiting oscillations of increasing amplitude. To take account of this possibility, we must consider the dynamic behavior of the system, because stability is essentially a dynamic concept. In the paper the a...
