Rural housing is directly linked to agricultural work, so the organization of space in the yard isfundamentally different from the functional characteristics of urban housing. In the villages ofSerbia, over the years and after the Second World War, multi-storey residential buildings wereerected for service to non-agricultural population. By their b...

The National Assembly House of the Republic of Serbia, in Belgrade, is a monumental publicbuilding, which has, from the very beginning of its existence, represented basic political and culturalinterests and preferences. It has remained the visual paradigm of Serbia's national course andsovereignty to this day. It has had great importance throughout...

Concrete elements are practically an integral part of every construction project andbuilding. They have significantly higher fire resistance in comparison to elements madeof other construction materials. However, RC slabs are the most sensitive concreteelements to the effects of fire when compared to all the other reinforced concrete elements.There...

High-rise building, today, is characterized by the construction of facilities that are higher and more complex in their geometry, and are often located in the narrow city core where numerous facilities have been built in a small area that additionally complicate the execution of construction and geodetic works. In order to obtain information on the...

The SAP2000 finite element analysis software was applied to model the original frame and carry out the elasto-plastic time-history analysis method, with an existing irregular plane framework in Tianjin as the object of the study. Buckling-Restrained Brace (BRB) damping and anti-torsional reinforcement scheme was proposed based on the analysis resul...

Linear static analysis of arbitrarily curved beams is considered. Metric of a Bernoulli-Euler beam is rigorously defined and the weak form of the corresponding boundary-valueproblem is solved using isogeometric approach. Driving force behind present research isdetail numerical analysis of recently developed model of an arbitrarily curved beam. This...

Determining the value of the fundamental period of vibrations of reinforced concrete structures is a complex task. In order to have certain data on the fundamental period of vibration in the earliest design stage, engineers use various approximate methods, which can quickly and simply, but still sufficiently accurate, provide an estimate of the req...

Vibration in buildings may occur from different external or internal sources. Where occupants can detect vibration in buildings, it may potentially impact their comfort or working efficiency. Some vibration sources give rise to audible effects such as structure-borne noise and airborne noise, and secondary rattling of building elements or contents....

The presence of water in the rock masses, or water filtering, has an important role in theconstruction of engineering facilities (dams, tunnels, ...), as well as in formation of rockslopes, caused by the implementation of various projects. The rock mass, that we find innature (in-situ), is heterogeneous, anisotropic, jointed and is in the natural s...

An example of a high-rise building behavior calculation shows that weather deformations of concrete have a significant contribution to changing the behavior of vertical load-bearing elements - columns and walls. The phenomenon of different shrinkage of concrete/steel pillars and concrete core due to the shrinkage and creep of concrete over time is ...
