There are numerous membrane-covered sports facilities in Niš. They have become popular over the last two decades due to their low cost and rapid construction. However, they are known to provide poor indoor thermal conditions, and methods for improving their performance are still being investigated. This research forms part of that effort. A ...

Runoff modelling in karst areas represents a specific challenge, due to inherent complexity and uncertainty of underground flow paths. Utilization of physical relationships to describe the individual components of the runoff requires a much more detailed understanding of the conditions in the basin. However, the application of such models, with an ...

Green architecture is recognized not only for its environmental and social advantages but also for its financial and market benefits. The study combines a quantitative analysis of operational cost reduction and investment return with a qualitative assessment of property value and socio-economic impacts. Case studies and literature illustrate both m...

Due to the decreasing resources of non-renewable fresh water and climate changes leading to more frequent intense rainfalls, designed solutions are desired to manage rainwater in accordance with the principles of blue-green infrastructure. This paper discusses four concepts of rainwater management for a warehouse hall using solutions such as drain...

In practice, consideration of fire protection for structural elements mainly occurs after the adopted dimensions of sections. However, this procedure leads to not the most cost-effective solution in general. To find the optimal solution, it is necessary to apply one of the optimization methods. The presented optimization of purlins RHS cross-sectio...

A theoretical model for porous viscoelastoplastic (VEP) materials under dry conditions is examined based on the principles of mass and energy conservation using rheological-dynamical analogy (RDA). The model provides the expressions for the creep coefficient, Poisson's ratio, modulus of elasticity, damage variable and strength in the function of po...

In this paper, the authors present the application of the scaffolding technique in drawing graphs of some elementary functions. First-year students of the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Geodesy were tested using two exams: an entrance test and an exit test. The obtained results show whether students are more successful in drawing g...

In this paper the benefits of integration of UAV-mounted (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) thermal camera and GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) are analysed. As an example we analized a district heating pipeline in a part of university campus in Novi Sad. Thermal camera mounted on UAV enables fast mapping of routes. These data are then used to detect critical...
