Urban planning has created significant influence on urban development of cities since the end of the World War II up to present. During the period of socialism, the urban planning was the mechanism for spatial arrangement of state's development programs, whose realization depended only on political and economic power of the state and its representa...

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...

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...

Composite roadway bridges constructed using precast deck slabs are exposed in this paper. Prefabricated units are suitable for use in small and middle span bridges. Prefabricated systems are used for new construction and reconstruction and rehabilitation of existing bridges. It is presented two types of the precast deck slabs, partial–thickne...

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...

The paper deals with defining outdoor spaces lounge potentials tipology, based on weak criteria, that could be applicable in the initial stages of the creative process. It is a kind of subjective typology, different from common typological researches. Lounge implies the subjective sense of relaxation based on body – environment relations. The...

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...
