EFFECTS OF EPOCH HARMONIZATION ON TERRESTRIAL AND GOCO-DERIVED HEIGHT ANOMALIES: CASE STUDY IN SERBIA
Terrestrial height anomalies are compared with anomalies derived from Global Geopotential Models (GGMs) developed within the GOCO initiative. The analysis examines the influence of epoch differences on geometric heights. Terrestrial anomalies are determined from ellipsoidal heights obtained by GNSS and from precise levelling data. Ellipsoidal heigh...

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 ...
