Problems involving contact are of great importance in industry related to mechanical and civilengineering, but also in biomechanics and other applications. The contact interaction betweensurfaces and different bodies like in a bolted splice connection joint or area in which a tire interactswith the soil is not known a priori, leading to a nonlinear...

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...

Развијене свјетске земље имају општеприхваћене локалне и глобалне стандарде као основу за стандардизацију поступака и интернационализацију процеса процјене вриједности непокретности. У Босни и Херцеговини, не постоји јединствен и усклађен приступ процјене непокретности појединачних објеката. Кроз рад је приказан приступ, методологија и терминологиј...

Architecture of high-rise buildings depends on many factors, which greatly vary frominitial concepts, functionality of designed spaces, its proportions to human perception andurban context, and structural support and technological capabilities to support desiredconcept. Thus, in any analysis of the factors that architecture depends on is its struct...

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...

There are different definitions of what constitutes the term "life". The background of most of these definitions is appropriate theories: starting with the notion that everything that exists is matter, and life is only its complex form, up to vitalism which considers the principle of life as purely intangible. Forming the general definition of life...

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...

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...
