Changes in the Location and Meaning of Banjaluka’s Urban Core: Recommendations for Urban Landscape Regeneration
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...

Presidential Palace in New Belgrade: Evaluation Approaches to Post-World War II Architectural Heritage
The discipline of preserving cultural monuments faces the challenge of large-scale contemporary and living heritage, which should be adequately documented and evaluated in order to be effectively protected and preserved. The valorization of architectural heritage, especially its most modern part, requires extensive consideration and estimation due ...

Material Memory Properties
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...

Principles of Design, Materialization, and Optimization of the Strut-Type Hybrid Systems
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...

Improvement of Hot Mix Asphalt Using Waste Plastic
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...

Linear Dynamic Analysis of a Spatially Curved Bernoulli-Euler Beam Subjected to a Moving Load
This paper considers the dynamic analysis of a spatially curved Bernoulli-Euler beam subjected to a moving load. The isogeometric approach is used for the spatial discretization of the weak form of the equation of motion. Both the reference geometry and the solution space are represented using the same NURBS basis functions that guarantee an accura...

Responsible Education of Architects – Experience From International Research Projects at the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Architecture
EAAE Charter on Architectural Research states that architecture is facing challenges of globalization, rapid urbanization, ecological disturbance and social transformation that necessitate permanent development in the field of education [1]. Educators, in particular, faculties and universities, need to understand and explain those changes and find ...

Perception of Heritage Values: Experiential Qualitative Model for Assessing the Urban Potential
Modern-day is defined as a period of globalization, a complex construct that can pose a threat to maintaining the uniqueness of a place and creating a distinctive city identity. The hypothesis of this paper is that, while the phenomenon of globalization is researched within different disciplines, a common interdisciplinary theme stands out - the ex...

Evaluation of the Resistance to Crack Propagation of High-Performance Concretes by the Wedge Splitting Test Method
This paper describes the key elements of the results of investigations on the resistance to crack propagation carried out as part of a large-scale project to develop high-performance concretes (HPCs) for the secondary lining of a low and intermediate-level waste disposal shaft. Four HPCs were investigated, in which the quantity of the binder compon...
