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...

This research addresses the issue of transformation of urban landscape, especially its green structure, in the context of urbanisation understood as a complex socio‐spatial process possessing both global and local characteristics. This new urban landscape extends beyond the traditional relations between the city center and periphery as two distinct...

This paper raises the issue and examines the causes and effects of the neglect of abandoned and underused spaces in the Republic of Srpska (brownfield spaces, greenfield spaces), emphasising the necessity for their regeneration. Urban regeneration is manifoldly understood as a process, strategy and comprehensive method of urban renewal  ‐ &nbs...

Considering the complexity of the problem of stress – strain state and stability of structural systems, nonlinear theory is applied in this paper. The subject of the paper is to perform the stiffness matrix and geometric stiffness matrix, and to define the problem of bifurcation stability. Solving the problem of bifurcation stability presents...

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...

Development of device for harmonic excitation of engineering structures is presented. Device is developed in order to introduce experimental dynamic analysis of structures to students and engineers. Basic drive mechanisms of device are electric motors whose rotational motion is transferred into translational. This enables possibility for excitement...

This paper focuses on the research process within the methodology of architectural design. Architectural design as an eternal quest for appropriate project concept, in infinite richness of variants that space offers, represents the subject of this paper wherewith the author has set up the task to seek answers to specific questions of perception. Th...
