EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BUBBLE MORPHOLOGY AND ABRASION RESISTANCE OF FOAMED CONCRETE
Abrasion resistance is a critical durability parameter of foamed concrete applied in floor screeds and wear - exposed surface layers. Owing to its cellular structure, abrasion performance depends on bubble morphology, including size, distribution and uniformity. This paper presents an experimental study combining high - magnification microscopy wit...

PILOT ELICITATION OF LOCAL NAVIGATION PARAMETERS FOR PEDESTRIAN WAYFINDING: A BANJA LUKA CASE STUDY
Pedestrian route choice in cities depends both on the overall structure of the street network and on local decisions made at points of directional change. While space syntax has shown the importance of configurational relations, wayfinding and navigation tasks point to additional cognitive mechanisms related to landmarks, route legibility, and task...

IMPLEMENTATION OF URBAN PLANS AND PROJECTS RELATED TO PUBLIC OPEN SPACE IN MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOURHOODS: A CASE STUDY IN NIŠ, SERBIA
This paper discusses implementation as a critical phase of urban planning, where adopted policies and planning intentions are translated into spatial and social outcomes. It examines the regeneration of public open space (POS) in inherited large housing estates, exploring the interaction between urban plans, urban design projects, and operational p...

EVALUATING STUDENT CREATIVE COLLECTIVES IN ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION: A MIXED-EVIDENCE CASE STUDY OF APLExMANIA TEAMS
This study examines student creative collectives as semi-professional formations linking architectural education and practice, focusing on micro-level team dynamics. Four APLExMANIA teams are evaluated across four domains: group formation, extra-curricular learning, visibility networks, and latent capacity. Using a joint display approach, the resea...

EVOLUTION OF APPLIED FORMS IN MEMORIAL ARCHITECTURE: FROM PREHISTORIC STRUCTURES TO MODERN INTERPRETATIONS
This paper examines the development of forms in memorial architecture, from prehistoric structures to abstract monuments. It demonstrates how basic patterns such as circular structures, pyramidal forms, and simple geometric shapes have established enduring principles in memorial design. Over time, these forms have evolved under the influence of rel...

INFLUENCE OF EVAPOTRANSPIRATION ESTIMATION METHODS ON IRRIGATION SYSTEM DESIGN
This paper evaluates methods for estimating evapotranspiration (ET) and their influence on irrigation system design, using a case study from Modriča, Republic of Srpska. We compare empirical, physically-based, and remote sensing approaches including Thornthwaite, Hargreaves–Samani, Jensen–Haise, Linacre, McGuinness and FAO Penman–...

DEFINITION OF THE EXPOSURE MODEL FOR THE CASE STUDY KARPOSH IN SKOPJE ACCORDING TO TWO URBAN SCENARIOS
The application of seismic design codes is crucially important for the seismic safety of the built environment developed in earthquake prone regions. However, there are also buildings built before the introduction of seismic design codes. Seismic risk assessment is a useful process which can help identify the seismic safety of the urban regions wit...

APPLICATION OF CLOSE-RANGE UAV PHOTOGRAMMETRY IN THE DETECTION OF CRACKS ON FACADE
The photogrammetric survey of buildings is a beneficial process to obtain accurate 3D data for facade inspection. It allows more straightforward monitoring of the state of the facade over time. An orthomosaic with an average ground sampling distance of 2.1 mm is created using close-range unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry. Ground control points...

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR TUNNELS REGARDING THE TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS (ADR)
EU Tunnel Directive 2004/54/EC aims to ensure a minimum level of safety for users in road tunnels in the Trans-European Road Network. EU member states are required to develop, at national level, their own detailed methodology for tunnel risk assessment. Along with that, ADR as the UN regulation in the field of dangerous good transportation by road,...

ANALYZING ZONES FOR STANDING: ENHANCING VIBRANCY DURING PUBLIC EVENTS
This study examines how parts of the public space that offer the possibility for standing contribute to vibrancy during public events. The aim of the paper is to investigate how different arrangements of temporary structures affect the positions of potential zones for standing and, therefore, the vibrancy of public spaces. Using Trg Slobode (Libert...
