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...

To optimize measurement procedures in laboratories, in terms of the balance between economics and risk, determination of the optimal calibration interval for measuring equipment has significant importance. This paper will show an approximate, but effective method for determination of initial calibration interval, regarding “ILAC” guidel...

Cities are the main pillars of human and economic activities and have the capacity to create positive synergies that create opportunities for development for their residents. However, they also generate a large range of problems that are increasingly complex and more difficult to solve as the city grows. The "smart" city is a newer concept introduc...

Experiences from previous earthquakes have shown that level of structural damages depends onground features where the structure is placed. Also, it is noted that reinforced concrete framestructures collapse due to the appearance of “weak floor”, especially when are founded on groundswith lower characteristics. In this paper, the seismic...

The Umka landslide is one of the biggest inhabited active landslides in Serbia. The Umka landslideactivity has been monitored for a period longer than 85 years, by various geotechnical and geodetictechniques. Since 2010, landslide activity has been continuously monitored by automated permanentGlobal Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) based monitori...

Needs of standing traffic significantly burden the infrastructure and functioning of urbansettlements. The problem is particularly acute in non-developed and developing countries whosecities are experiencing a virtually uncontrolled growth. Control of standing traffic is also an elementof sustainable urban mobility. The paper presents the authors&r...

Problems involving contact are of great importance in industry related to mechanical and civilengineering, but also in biomechanics and other applications. The contact interaction betweensurfaces and different bodies like in a bolted splice connection joint or area in which a tire interactswith the soil is not known a priori, leading to a nonlinear...
