Dynamic analysis of a spatially curved Bernoulli-Euler beam subjected to the moving load is considered in this paper. The isogeometric approach is used for the spatial discretization of the weak form of the equation of motion. Both the reference geometry and the solution space are represented using the same NURBS basis functions that guarantee an a...

Soil moisture is one of crucial parameters in modeling and analysis of groundwater flow. Measurement of soil water dynamics improves the understanding of processes and is vital for good groundwater flow model calibration. Determining soil moisture change during time by laboratory methods, as an integral part of practical classes, requires significa...

The construction principles underlying Bosnia and Herzegovina’s traditional building and the characteristics of its modernist architecture provide a basis for a set of criteria to evaluate its modernist heritage. The architect and town planner Juraj Neidhardt created a modernist-vernacular glossary of Bosnian-Herzegovinian architecture and to...

Urban development has always been related to the proximity of watercourses and the possibility of their use. Water in urban areas is essential for various infrastructure systems. Water areas in cities are also crucial for the population because they enable multiple activities. On the city shores along rivers or lakes, different spatial concepts are...

Control of compaction of natural soil (in excavation) or compacted in the embankment during the construction of roads is one of the basic forms of quality control of the substructure. When building high-speed roads (highways and high-speed railways), the priority is to achieve a high level of control over the performed work. In order to prevent dif...

In this paper, the analysis of the dynamic load of the beam using geodetic and geotechnical sensors was performed. From the group of geodetic sensors, GPS/GNSS receivers were used, while from the group of geotechnical sensors, an accelerometer was used. The measurements were performed in laboratory conditions, and the experiment itself was designed...

The replacement of natural aggregates (NA) with alternative aggregates in concrete can contribute to the sustainable development of the construction industry. This paper aims to present research investigating the effects of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and crumb rubber (CR) utilization on the performance of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) mixtu...

This paper aims to analyze the carbon footprint which the construction industry leaves on the global GHG emissions. It focuses on understanding the sources of the embodied carbon in each stage of the structure’s lifecycle. It also explores the ways of reducing the CO2 costs, focusing primarily on the RC structures. A comparative analysis of d...
