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...

Every year, floods cause great damage in the Republic of Serbia. The lack of solutions for flood riskmanagement and prevention during their escalation causes great financial deficit. One of thesolutions for achieving stability in this sphere is creating a map of flood threats and risk accordingto the European Flood Directive. The task of the IPA201...

The aim of the research is to obtain optimal ranges of thermal envelope for the desired energy classes, which will contribute to a more economical and rational approach to the design of buildings, as well as to prove that with the increase of thermal envelope there is an increase of the energy class. The model on which the research was formed and a...

In this paper dynamic analysis of a curved Bernoulli – Euler beam subjected to a moving load ispresented. Moving load is modelled as a single force with constant magnitude and direction, whichmoves along its trajectory. Plane curved Bernoulli – Euler beam element is formulated usingisogeometric approach where both the displacement field and geometr...

Within this contribution we present recently published findings [1] on the new way of utilizing polymeric materials for vibration damping. We present and demonstrate patented dissipative bulk and granular systems technology [2], based on which we have developed granular damping elements (GDE). The damping elements consist of granular viscoelastic m...

Land cover/land use (LULC) have an important impact on land degradation,erosion and water availability therefore mapping of patterns and spatial distribution ofLULC is essential for land management. Accurate mapping of complex land cover andland use classes using remotely sensed data requires robust classification methods.Various classification alg...
