If the loading is non-conservative, the loss of stability may not manifest itself as the system going into another equilibrium state, but as exhibiting oscillations of increasing amplitude. To take account of this possibility, we must consider the dynamic behavior of the system, because stability is essentially a dynamic concept. In the paper the a...

HPPS service of the CROPOS system is today a fast, reliable, precise and commonly used tool for coordinates determination in Croatia. The advantages of a networked RTK method are well known, but in some situations, a single-base RTK method could be a reliable method for coordinates determination, even without a base station having known coordinates...

One challenge that present-day cities face as they develop is their having to compete on a global scale and to accentuate that which sets them apart from other cities. In that sense, smaller cities are especially under threat, as they live in the shadow of metropolises in the process of globalization. Recently, place branding has proven itself capa...

Large dams are exposed to the influence of various forces which in time cause changes in their position and geometry. Knowledge about changes in position and geometry of large dams is of crucial importance for their stability and security determination. Dams, in process of deformation analysis, are approximated by set of discrete points and on the ...

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...
