This paper presents a monopitch timber truss roof, through the stages of its design, static calculation and execution. It is a structure that originally was not carried out in accordance with project documentation, and the realization of its restructuring failed to make the final form. It all lead to constructing a new roof structure. The intention...

This paper treats the principle of static testing on braced girder of a sport hall built by the primary school "Srbija" in Pale. During testing simulated snow load was performed on the roof and was applied on a major steel braced (three‐band) roof grider, with span L = 23 m. The following measurements and observations were performed: measurement of...

Making gravel pylons is one of the methods of improving soil characteristics i.e. increasing soil density. It can easily be used to avoid expensive replacement of materials, especially when it comes to large‐ volume facilities. Gravel pylons reduce the risk of liquefaction, which is very important for seismic areas such as Banja Luka. It is necessa...

An approach to elasto‐plastic analysis of engineering structures is presented in this study. Simple plane truss finite element with two nodes is used. This element is ideally suited as a basis for studying plasticity theory since it implies one‐dimensional state of stress and strain. Material model of linear isotropic hardening is applied. Algorith...

Some considerations on influence of mode interaction on eigenshapes of the thin‐walled structures are given. Classic theory is limited on structures with non‐deformable cross section, so that for general analysis it was necessary to apply semi‐analytical finite strip method. Strip displacement field is approximated with sum of products of trigonome...
