ENERGY PERFORMANCE OF MEMBRANE SPORTS HALLS: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ACROSS CLIMATIC CONTEXTS
Due to their structural flexibility and rapid construction, membrane sports halls are an increasingly common solution for sports facilities. In this paper, the annual energy consumption of membrane halls in five different climate contexts was analyzed using simulations conducted in EnergyPlus: Prague, Cannes, Niš, Bergen, and Dawadmi. The re...

FROM WASTE TO RESOURCE: BIOGAS PRODUCTION FROM BLACKWATER THROUGH DECENTRALIZED URBAN PLANNING MODELS
Blackwater, the wastewater stream with the highest sanitary and energy load, is increasingly seen as a resource within circular urban systems. This paper explores its valorization through anaerobic digestion and decentralized planning. Using Banja Luka as a case study, key energy, economic, and spatial thresholds for local treatment feasibility are...

STATIC AND DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF CLT-CONCRETE COMPOSITES USING LAYERED FINITE ELEMENTS
In the paper, a layerwise formulation of cross-laminated-timber (CLT) - concrete composites (CCC) is presented. A partial shear interaction between concrete and CLT is incorporated by using distributed elastic springs in the CLT-concrete interface. A linear discontinuous layerwise interpolation of displacement components through the thickness is im...

METHODS FOR STRUCTURAL CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND PROOF LOAD TESTING: A CASE STUDY OF THE CAMPUS GARAGE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BANJA LUKA
This paper presents a comprehensive condition assessment of the campus garage at the University of Banja Luka. The assessment methodology included visual inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT) of concrete using rebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity methods, and proof load testing of the primary roof truss. Deformations were monitored usi...
