This paper presents a vulnerability assessment of an historical masonry building representative of early 20th-century construction. The structure consists of load-bearing masonry walls with timber floors and lacks seismic detailing. The methodology included visual inspection, typological classification and simplified control analysis. Observed dama...

Proračunske analize i procjena uticaja zidane ispune na seizmički odgovor višespratnih armiranobetonskih okvirnih zgrada u domaćoj inženjerskoj praksi najčešće nisu sastavni dio projekta konstrukcije, iako se pri izvođenju okviri uobičajeno ispunjavaju zidanjem zidova na tradicionalan način, bez posebnih mjera izolacije. Kroz uporednu...

This paper presents a comprehensive condition assessment of the campus garage at the University of Banja Luka. The assessment methodology included visual inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT) of concrete using rebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity methods, and proof load testing of the primary roof truss. Deformations were monitored usi...

Aiming to meet the principals of the modern circular economy, this study explores the possibility of using locally available waste materials in the production of innovative, eco-friendly mortar for masonry. The eco-binder, applied as a substitute for cementitious material, is ceramic waste powder (CWP) generated during the production of ceramic ind...

The paper presents the results of our own experimental research on the effect of the high range water reducing admixture content – HRWRA (applied in the range from 0.8 to 1.2% by mass of cement – mc) on the properties of self-compacting concrete in the fresh and hardened state. The research showed that increasing the HRWRA content lead...

This paper discusses the problem of theoretical and experimental determination of dynamic factors of road bridges. Various parameters influencing the dynamic behavior of bridges are briefly described and a review of regulations in this field is given. Also, an example of the numerical determination of the dynamic amplification factor on a specific ...

On the calculation example of a cable-stayed bridge with oblique cables, it was pointed out the shrinkage and creep of concrete significantly affects the distribution of stresses and deflections of the span beam over time. The segmental type of bridge construction is considered, which implies the successive introduction of concrete rheology, for ca...

An example of a high-rise building behavior calculation shows that weather deformations of concrete have a significant contribution to changing the behavior of vertical load-bearing elements - columns and walls. The phenomenon of different shrinkage of concrete/steel pillars and concrete core due to the shrinkage and creep of concrete over time is ...
