SEISMIC EVALUATION OF A SIX STOREY FRAME STRUCTURE CONSIDERING SOIL EARTHQUAKE RECORDS FROM BALKAN REGION
This study emphasizes numerical modeling of soil medium including boundary conditions, rather than the conventional focus on input earthquake accelerations with simplified Winkler soil models typically used in soil-structure interaction (SSI) problems. A six-story frame structure founded on relatively soft ground is numerically simulated in ANSYS u...

ENHANCING CLIMATE RESILIENCE OF HYDROPOWER INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE BLACK DRIM BASIN THROUGH NATUREBASED SOLUTIONS
Climate changes in recent decades have led to an increase in hydro-meteorological hazards, posing increasing risks to hydropower infrastructure in mountainous river basins. In the Black Drim Basin, extreme precipitation, erosion, landslides, sediment transport, and debris accumulation threaten dam safety, functionality and operational reliability. ...
