Blackwater, the wastewater stream with the highest sanitary and energy load, is increasingly seen as a resource within circular urban systems. This paper explores its valorization through anaerobic digestion and decentralized planning. Using Banja Luka as a case study, key energy, economic, and spatial thresholds for local treatment feasibility are...

In the paper, a layerwise formulation of cross-laminated-timber (CLT) - concrete composites (CCC) is presented. A partial shear interaction between concrete and CLT is incorporated by using distributed elastic springs in the CLT-concrete interface. A linear discontinuous layerwise interpolation of displacement components through the thickness is im...
