Within this paper, we evaluated the quality of three Global Geopotential Models entitled: EGM96,EGM2008, and GOCO05c. The models were evaluated by using 1001 terrestrial discrete values ofheight anomalies determined by Global Navigation Satellite Systems and normal heights, which weconsidered to be true values within this research. In addition to t...

For the design and construction of buildings in seismic areas the European Standard EN 1998-1:2004 offers two non-linear methods, namely: a non-linear pushover based static method and a nonlineardynamic method. This paper discusses those methods which differ from one another in respectto accuracy, simplicity and transparency. Non-linear static proc...

In this paper we used a new class of special functions and special polynomials which are solutions different Sturm Liouvile differential equations of second order. These functions form a basis of a space of square integrable functions over set of a real numbers. We investigated some properties of these polynomials and established some recurrence fo...

This paper elaborated on a variety of reasons for the use of biological principles in building context over time. A particular accent was placed on position of biological systems within the contemporary concepts of sustainability, circularity, resilience, and regeneration. Existing design barriers were identified and discussed, and the currently av...
