Numerical Modeling of Tunnel Excavation and Support Using the Deconfinement Method for Static and Seismic Conditions
In this paper, an analysis of the phase construction of a tunnel with support in static and seismic conditions is made. The PLAXIS 2D software package was used for the problem's numerical modelling. A parametric analysis of the excavation using the deconfinement method (1-ß) was made on an actual tunnel with support in the excavation phase an...

Environmental Impact Assessment and Seismic Hazard Analysis: Petrinja 2020 Experience
On December 29, 2020, a shallow magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck northern Croatia near Petrinja. This earthquake was preceded by a strong foreshock with a magnitude of 5. In response to the Petrinja earthquake, a team of European geologists and engineers from Croatia, Slovenia, France, Italy, and Greece was promptly mobilized to conduct a thorough a...

Modeling Tectonic Movements Using the Kalman Filter on GNSS Coordinate Time Series
The paper is dedicated to the modeling of tectonic movements based on GNSS coordinate time series, which were analyzed using the Kalman filter. The research area includes the territory of Japan, which is one of the most seismically active regions on Earth. The devastating Tohoku earthquake of 2011 was the result of subduction between the Pacific an...

The Effect of Masonry Infill Model Selection on the Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures
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...

Determination of the Response Spectra of the Superstructure of Length l=3X63.0 m
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...

Visions and Narratives of Large-Scale Projects of Socialist Vojvodina
In this paper, three case studies of various natures, scales and positions within the discipline are identified and analyzed as exemplary of Vojvodina in the discussion of large-scale projects of socialist Yugoslavia. The interpretive-historical method is used to describe and interpret the case studies, while primary sources are subjected to qualit...

Dynamic Comfort Considerations in the Design of High-rise Buildings
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...

Between Vision and Possibility – Industrial Architecture From the Socialist Period in Sarajevo
As a contribution to the research on the specificities of Yugoslav modernism, the development of industrial architecture in the City of Sarajevo after World War II is presented. When defining the architectural typology of industrial buildings during this period of development, examples of conceptual designs whose implementation was either fully or ...

Internal Extensions: A Case for The Reassessment of the Architectural Phenomenon of Greenhouse
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...

Stability Calculation of Irregular Structures with Irregular Disorder During Seismic Impact
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...
