In practice, consideration of fire protection for structural elements mainly occurs after the adopted dimensions of sections. However, this procedure leads to not the most cost-effective solution in general. To find the optimal solution, it is necessary to apply one of the optimization methods. The presented optimization of purlins RHS cross-sectio...

A theoretical model for porous viscoelastoplastic (VEP) materials under dry conditions is examined based on the principles of mass and energy conservation using rheological-dynamical analogy (RDA). The model provides the expressions for the creep coefficient, Poisson's ratio, modulus of elasticity, damage variable and strength in the function of po...

In this paper, the authors present the application of the scaffolding technique in drawing graphs of some elementary functions. First-year students of the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Geodesy were tested using two exams: an entrance test and an exit test. The obtained results show whether students are more successful in drawing g...

Two approaches for beam-to-beam contact modeling are considered in the paper. The first is the classic continuum approach with point-to-point contact discretization. The other is the coarsegrained approach where the physical intermolecular fields are applied for the modeling of interaction of continuous bodies. To describe the contact, the repulsiv...

The detection of erosion was carried out on a characteristic rocky pillar, with the localization and quantification of differences between two surfaces. For this purpose, based on the defined area and spatial configuration of the scanning object, scanner positions, arrangement of control points, and appropriate spatial scanning resolution were plan...

This paper explores the phenomenon of atmosphere in architecture, highlighting its increasing relevance in contemporary theory and practice. By analyzing various perspectives, it investigates how atmosphere is experienced and created in architectural space. The research aims to deepen the understanding of this phenomenon through theoretical analyse...

In this paper the benefits of integration of UAV-mounted (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) thermal camera and GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) are analysed. As an example we analized a district heating pipeline in a part of university campus in Novi Sad. Thermal camera mounted on UAV enables fast mapping of routes. These data are then used to detect critical...

The transition from ellipsoidal geodetic coordinates to rectangular 3D coordinates is quite simple, while the reverse procedure is somehow more complex due to the mathematical relationship between the ellipsoidal width and 3D coordinates. Until now, several methods for solving this problem have been defined and described in geodetic literature. In ...
