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...

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...

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,...

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...

The paper deals with the analysis of the changes in the working environment, from the traditional offices (conventional workplace), through the hybrid space, up to the virtual environment. The experiences of previous research in different periods, pre-, during, and post-pandemic caused by Covid-19 virus, were used. The focus of the paper are change...

TORSIONAL IRREGULATITY PROVISIONS FOR BUILDINGS IN MODERN CODES

It has been observed that in earthquake-affected areas, structures with a configuration classified as torsionally irregular are more prone to damage than regular structures. Modern seismic provisions have introduced criteria for determining if the structure is torsionally sensitive and guidelines for designing them. Eurocode 8 prescribes criterion ...

Presented research was intentioned to clarify the effects of thermal treatment (ageing) of reinforcing steel products on their mechanical and deformation properties. In order to determine the effect of temperature, samples were exposed to room temperature (reference samples) and a temperature of 100 °C in duration of 30, 60 and 120 minutes, res...

The paper presents the methodological approach for improvement of energy performance of public buildings in the process of partial refurbishment, having in mind the constrains that are originating from existing technological, material and stylistic characteristics. Being the carriers of wider social and historical connotations, these buildings are ...
