This paper deals with the architecture of schools built in Banja Luka, during the 40-year long Austro-Hungarian rule in today’s Bosnia and Herzegovina. The buildings for education, spanning from the basic, very small, elementary schools, to vast buildings, like higher gymnasium, received very interesting set of architectural styles featuring tradit...

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...

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...

Urban residents worldwide express a desire for contact with nature and each other, attractive environments, places in which to recreate and play, privacy, a more active role in the design of their community, and a sense of place identity. However, the spatial and urban planning system does not provide conditions for a such way of urban development....

In this paper, a brief overview of damping systems and their operation and analysisprinciples is provided, with emphasis on tuned damping systems of engineeringstructures. The results of the experimental analysis are presented for an aluminum framestructure excited with initial displacement. The measured dynamic parameters(eigenfrequencies and dump...

The history of the relationship between architects and structural engineers went through a series of phases from the mid-19th century, when reinforced concrete began to be technologically advanced. This relationship had its ups and downs, but it became especially important when large covered spaces were formed. Both architects and structural engine...

Descriptive geometry is one of the fundamental subjects in the education of future architects, civil engineers and engineers of geodesy. During the course, certain differences in mastering the teaching material have been noticed, as well as the divergence in performance of students in relation to their study program. In order to analyse these diffe...

The linear thermal transmittance of a simple balcony thermal bridge with a uniformbalcony slab and wall was analysed. In a five-parameter model (thickness, length andthermal conductivity of a balcony slab; thickness and thermal conductivity of an adjacentwall), it was found that the length of the balcony slab does not influence the thermaltransmitt...

Geoportal is an indispensable part of the national spatial data infrastructure and a central point of access to spatial data. The paper presents the development of a geoportal based on the principles of service-oriented architecture. Open source frameworks and libraries were used to create geoportal. The aim of the paper is to present a partially d...
