The city of Niš, Serbia, has been an industrial production hub since the liberation from Ottoman rule and the construction of the railway infrastructure at the end of the 19th century. Following the aftermath of World War II, the city of Niš experienced an industrial bloom – redefining the urban landscape with numerous industria...

THE ROLE OF BASIN PHYSICAL CHANGES IN FUTURE FLOOD PROJECTIONS

Although both climatic factors and basin physical characteristics influence flood generation, projections of future floods predominantly emphasize climate change, while changes in land use, urbanization, and basin morphology are less systematically addressed. This paper presents a brief literature overview on the assessment of future floods at the ...

This paper presents a review of the development of geometrically exact beam theories for the analysis of large displacements and finite rotations of curved beams. Since finite rotations evolve on the nonlinear manifold 𝑆𝑂(3) rather than in a vector space, their consistent parametrization, interpolation, and update are essential to maintain objectiv...

The paper describes the methodology for controlling the consistency of the geodetic basic 2D network for the construction of a large-scale hydropower system. The research was conducted on the case study of the network for the construction of the Dabar hydroelectric power plant, in an extremely complex karst area. The network was established by GNSS...

The effects of soil-structure interaction (SSI) are usually neglected in the current practice of seismic analysis and design  of bridges. The objective of this research study is to assess the significance of SSI for the seismic response of multi span reinforced concrete girder bridges. The focus is on the behaviour of the integrated global bri...

Globalization, the crisis of urban identity, and the endangerment of authentic urban patterns, morphology, and the image of the city represent significant challenges in urban planning and architectural practice. The relevance of this topic has been recognized and, among other aspects, will be the focus of this paper, which includes a case study of ...

The UAV LiDAR terrain model provides accurate identification of various landslide-related features, with a specific emphasis on terrain discontinuities known as scarps. This research aims to develop a quantitative method for identifying scarps using terrain-profile analysis of UAV LiDAR DTM. The research considers two landslide-prone areas located ...

MULTI-CRITERIA OPTIMIZATION OF CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY SELECTION USING A HYBRID AHP-GA MODEL

This paper presents a hybrid model integrating the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) to optimize construction machinery selection based on cost, CO2 emissions, maintenance, and age. AHP was used to determine precise weighting criteria, while a Python-based GA explored the solution space using technical penalty functions. ...

The paper presents the methodology for determining the most favorable method for buffer sizing in the Critical Chain Method (CCM), which is based on multi-criteria decision-making methods. The proposed methodology enables a complete and systematic solution to this problem, whose end result is a proposal for a buffer sizing method in accordance with...

This study investigates the performance of several digital elevation models (DEMs) over a selected area in Western Macedonia. The objective is to identify the most suitable DEM to serve as a reliable reference for the representation of topographic masses used in gravity anomaly determination, terrain correction computation, and geoid modeling. The ...
