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...

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 ...

This paper analyses how broadcast and precise ephemerides in alignment, using the least-squares method, affect the accuracy of coordinates of the newly included permanent stations. It has been shown that in practice, when аdjusting networks whose span between points exceeds 50 km, the adjustment procedure should be carried out using the adopted pre...

Modern technologies are evolving in the direction of energy efficiency and artificial light sources that today meet such targeted requirements have many other advantages that are not always recognized in planning. Utilizing the total capacity of energy efficient light sources requires a redesign and a different approach to public lighting planning....

In most developing countries, stormwater drainage practice consists of a conventional storm drainage system designed to collect and convey excess runoff to the recipient as soon as possible, without any attenuation or peak flow decreasing effects. This paper aims to show the overall need for change in the urban drainage paradigm by showing the effe...

In this paper, the factors that influence the improvement of spatial abilities of architecture students were examined. The main question was whether the course in Descriptive Geometry at the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Geodesy at the University of Banja Luka had an impact on students' spatial abilities. The study examined 118 st...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the daylight performance in an Austro-Hungarian heritage building located in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The building was originally used as a military headquarters and was later reused for administration and educational functions. The measurement of daylight was performed in a representative room-off...

This paper deals with the communication traits of architecture. This paper mainly aims to analyze and interpret an architectural work upon the theoretical model that is in the function of a methodological procedure, and to point out its communication traits as architectural values. The first part sets the theoretical framework related to the forms ...
