In this paper, the analysis of the dynamic load of the beam using geodetic and geotechnical sensors was performed. From the group of geodetic sensors, GPS/GNSS receivers were used, while from the group of geotechnical sensors, an accelerometer was used. The measurements were performed in laboratory conditions, and the experiment itself was designed...

When withdrawing the route of the expressway Drenovo - Raec, the axis of the road is forced to stretch near or through the mountain massifs. This created a general dilemma, whether to make classical excavations or tunnel constructions in certain locations. Considerations were also made for the decision on high embankments or viaducts. The character...

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...

The replacement of natural aggregates (NA) with alternative aggregates in concrete can contribute to the sustainable development of the construction industry. This paper aims to present research investigating the effects of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and crumb rubber (CR) utilization on the performance of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) mixtu...

The sustainable development of Serbia and the process of accession to the European Union cannot be viewed as separate or parallel processes, but represent a mechanism of holistic transformation of Serbian society into a sustainable community. It is a matter of normative regulation of the relationship between the new necessary values of true develop...

21st century architecture, in line with the rapid development of technology, could be read through many different architectural expressions and movements in just the first two decades, but they all aim the same - sustainability and energy efficiency. The decade-long process of building the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering in Banja Luka...

Spatial intelligence is an important skill for students of technical faculties, especially those fields where the capacity for engineering thinking and creative expression is equally valued. The field of Architecture is emphasized here, and the issue of assessing the spatial abilities of architecture students and their improvement has often been ob...

The behavior of simply supported reinforced concrete slabs in fire conditions and the influence ofcertain parameters on their fire resistance is analysed in this paper. The influence of the slab span,concrete cover thickness and the type of reinforcement scheme are analysed. All slabs are exposedto standard fire ISO 834. The analyses are conducted ...

In this paper, expanded polystyrene (EPS) lightweight concrete (LWC) was investigated. The mainaim was to design EPS LWC with the specified density of 1200 kg/m3 according to standard concretemix proportion. Mix proportion included total replacement of the conventional coarse aggregate bymaximum possible amount of EPS beads, which ensures concrete ...

Progress and demands of all types of constructions imposed the need for the development of modernstructures that are lightweight, but at the same time have high damping capacity and stiffness. Theconsequences of these requirements are increased dynamic problems related to vibrations anddissipative processes in structure connection joints. Structura...
