Overview of current progress in the field of seismic regulations for the design of tunnel structures revealed that, despite significant progress in research work on seismic analysis of tunnels over the past few decades, however, a deficiency of systematic and precisely defined rules for the seismic design of tunnels still exists even in the most de...

Geodesy and its high precision are important instruments for the study of active tectonics and the presentation of the movement of solid parts of the earth. Deformations caused by earthquakes represent essential information for defining seismogenic zones. Precise measurements must be made on the wall of the fault itself or the system of connected a...

In many countries, reinforced concrete (RC) frames are widely utilized as the primary building structure. The infill is typically composed of traditional masonry (brick elements connected with mortar), commonly without isolation from the frame. It is noted that in engineering practice, seismic force calculations for RC frame buildings are often con...

Buildings in Bosnia and Herzegovina are among the largest energy consumers, and deep energy renovation is a key pathway to reducing consumption and costs. This paper presents a case study of an educational building in Banja Luka, renovated in 2016 through envelope improvements and optimization of the heating system. Energy bills from 2013–201...

During a seismic impact, the main emphasis is placed on the damage to bridge piers, which were isolated from the horizontal earthquake detector. Accordingly, when calculating the bridges, the reaction spectra obtained from the horizontal earthquake detector are used both for the piers and for the superstructure. The issue of seismic resistance of b...

From the point of view of modern construction, the damage to reinforced concrete large-panel and frame buildings is especially interesting. The construction of this building is very diverse. Their use has a short history. Therefore, the systematisation of damages and generalisation of results for such buildings is more difficult. Below are some sta...

Glasshouses, greenhouses, conservatories and orangeries – all types of buildings intended specifically for plant cultivation – represent a relatively recent addition to the histories and repertoires of horticulture, agriculture and architecture. During approximately three centuries of their notable existence, these structures managed to...

The following paper provides research analysis on the influence of wind on a building, considering the regional and local climate conditions, to improve dynamic stability and reduce wind disruption effects on high-rise reinforced concrete buildings. The main aspect of disturbance in living conditions is caused by wind loads on the building. The dat...

It is crucial to select high-quality candidates for college and university enrollment, focusing on preparing them for their future careers in the shortest possible study duration while maintaining a strong graduation rate. The most reliable predictors of academic success (graduation) are observed during candidate testing (entry exams) and within th...
