ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS, LESS STRAIGHT FORWARD THEN PRESUMED
Since the 1990s, the successive EU directives and related national or regional legislations require new construction and retrofits to be as much as possible energy-efficient. Several measures that should stepwise minimize the primary energy use for heating and cooling have become mandated as requirement. However, in reality, related predicted savin...

DESIGN PARTICIPATION: FROM RHETORIC TO PRACTICE (AND BACK?)
Design participation is considered an inclusive, democratic and transparent process of urban planning and decision-making, particularly important for environments where complex social and economic realms could easily be misinterpreted in a common top-down design approach. This paper examines actual contributions of this methodology, implemented in ...

PAVEMENT STRUCTURES AT THE INTERSECTION AREA
From the very beginning of the application of modern pavements, it was known that with increasing load on the pavement structure, more attention should be paid to the details during design and construction in order for the pavement structure to reach the planned lifetime. Heavy, slow vehicles that stop, stand, rotate and accelerate transmit the lar...

INFLUENCE OF FINE RECYCLED CONCRETE AGGREGATE ON THE PROPERTIES OF ASPHALT MIXTURES
The objective of this paper was to assess the possibility of using fine recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in asphalt mixtures. The experimental research included four asphalt mixtures with partial natural aggregate substitution by fine RCA (0/4 mm), in the amount of 0% (control mixture), 15%, 30% and 45%, by mass. All asphalt mixtures were designed...

CONSOLIDATION WITH VERTICAL DRAINS
Building the embankment of traffic infrastructure (roads and railways) requires faster and more quality construction. One of the problems that often occurs in achieving these goals is the consolidation, which often occurs long after the completion of construction, resulting in subsequent settlements and damage to the roads. Therefore, certain measu...

PHENOMENA OF INSTABILITY IN NON-CONSERVATIVE DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS
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...

THE APPLICATION OF THE WEB BASED SYSTEM BY INTEGRATING WEB GIS TOOLS AND THE SDI FOR THE REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT AND MAPPING
Real estate is very important branch of the economy because of very significant impact on the area of trading, sales and pricing in all countries. There is a lack of integrated and comprehensive information and because of that many transactions and pricing methods most commonly don’t have a clear and scientific trend. For the people who participate...

SEISMIC EVALUATION OF EXISTING BUILDINGS ACCORDING TO DOCUMENT FEMA 310
In this paper, the principle of application of the FEMA310 document for seismic evaluation of existing buildings is briefly illustrated, for any building type, and examples of evaluation are given for the first and second tier of evaluation process, for two types of masonry structures. The application of this document at tier one and tier two of th...
