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...

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...

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...

Structures supporting the slopes of the foundation pit were installed in a densely built-up city area. Geological studies had been carried out, and based on the conclusion, the design of reinforcing the pit was prepared for the first time along the outer perimeter with interlocked steel piles. Due to the insufficient length (12 m) of the steel pile...

The starting premise of this paper is that a careful interpretation of changes in the meaning of urban places, provided their autochthonous qualities and the quality of the urban environment and architecture are respected, can help to better understand and treat the built environment. The case study presented investigates Banja Luka’s urban l...

Plastic waste is a significant environmental and ecological problem that requires urgent action. Indeed, plastic waste pollutes our oceans, rivers, and lakes, harming aquatic life and marine ecosystems. Plastic debris also poses a threat to terrestrial wildlife, as animals can mistake plastic for food or become entangled in it, leading to injury or...

The strut-type hybrid system can be made in different geometric shapes, which are affected by: the number and arrangement of struts, the shape and position of the cable in relation to the girder, and the size and shape of the cross-section of the girder. When choosing a system, all the listed parameters can vary geometrically, which has consequence...

The study demonstrates that the representative volume of standard cylindrical samples of rocks, concrete and asphalt represents a continuum from which samples are extracted or structures will be built. The rheological-dynamical analogy (RDA) is used as evidence, along with standard experimental data from the samples and the velocities of P and S wa...
