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 the current socio-economic context, and particularly in the cities of southern Europe,one of the essential objectives of urban planning is the production of a public space as acollective good that qualifies, shapes and makes sense of urban functions. In thecomposition of "the public" the role of collective urban facilities is key. A tour of cert...

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...

This Paper focuses on the importance measures for facilitation of air comfort in construction and the possibility of its application in architectural design. Facilitation of adequate comfort in physical environment directly affects health and working abilities of people and significantly increases energy consumption. Between 30% and 40% of the tota...

During the last thirty years, concrete has been industrially mutating from a soft granular medium to a proper non-Newtonian fluid. To benefit from the full potential of the modern fluid concretes such as Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC), prediction tools of the form filling taking into account the properties of the concrete, the shape and size of the...
