SMART INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE CITIES OF THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA
Modern cities face traffic congestion, inefficient use of resources, and pollution, challenges that are intensified by urbanization. The smart city concept, based on the application of the Internet of Things (IoT), enables more efficient management of urban infrastructure and improvement of the quality of life. This paper examines the application o...

THE INFLUENCE OF THE GEOLOGICAL AND HYDROGEOLOGY OF THE BANJALUKA AREA ON THE EFFICIENCY OF LOW ENTHALPY SUBGEOTHERMAL SYSTEMS
Low-enthalpy subgeothermal energy represents one of the most stable and environmentally friendly renewable energy sources for heating and cooling buildings. The efficiency of these systems largely depends on the geological and hydrogeological characteristics of the soil in which the geoprobes are installed in the case of the "soil-water" system or ...

BRIDGE REHABILITATION WITH USE OF UHPFRC IN SWITZERLAND
This article provides a practical framework for the application of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) in road bridges. Most of these bridges, constructed with reinforced or prestressed concrete according to mid-20th-century European practices, now face significant durability challenges. The rehabilitation of existing bridges ...

CONSTRUCTION OF THE IBARAC TUNNEL AS PART OF THE ROŽAJE BYPASS PROJECT IN MONTENEGRO
The Ibarac tunnel was excavated as part of the Rožaje bypass project in Montenegro. Nearly half of the excavation was carried out in glaciofluvial sediments consisting of brown sandy clay with gravel and rock fragments. As the original design did not anticipate tunneling through such deposits, the subsequent adoption of overly optimistic geotechnic...

AN INTEGRATED KPI-BASED FRAMEWORK FOR THE EVALUATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF NATURE-LIKE FISH PASSES – A CASE STUDY OF THE FREUDENAU HYDROPOWER PLANT
Nature-like fish passes are complex hydraulic–ecological systems whose performance is often assessed through fragmented monitoring approaches. This paper proposes an integrated KPI-based framework for the evaluation and classification of fish pass functionality, combining biological, hydraulic, and operational indicators within a structured m...

APPLICATION OF GROUND-PENETRATING RADAR (GPR) SCANNING TECHNOLOGY IN THE INSPECTION OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES
In this paper, the authors address the inspection of concrete structures using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) scanning technology. The main idea is focused on the inspection of a concrete structure for the purpose of detecting reinforcement or objects with a circular cross-section. The analysis includes both dry and wet concrete, as well as metalli...
