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...

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...
