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...

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...

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...

The term "Durmitor flysch" was first introduced into the geological literature in 1948 by [1].. Under this term, he refers to a powerful geological formation, formed at the transition from the Upper Cretaceous to the Paleogene. Its distribution begins from the northern Albanian table and the so-called Cukali zone in the south, through the central p...

This paper portrays the room as the fundamental beginning of architecture, exploring how our earliest spatial memories shape the way we perceive and understand architectural space. Drawing on Louis Kahn's philosophical reflections on the room as architecture's elemental unit, the insights of Peter Zumthor and other architects on childhood memories,...

This study investigates how navigation strategies in virtual environments affect spatial memory formation and environmental understanding. As navigation plays a fundamental role in how people experience and interpret space, especially in enclosed architectural spaces, exploring the cognitive processes behind movement and orientation remains crucial...

Based on experimental and theoretical research, the stress-deformation state of the bond between Georgian-origin basalt composite reinforcement and concrete was studied. The bonding mechanism between basalt composite reinforcement and different classes of concrete was revealed, along with the stress-deformation state of structures reinforced with b...

The traditional role of the façade, historically centered on providing protection against environmental conditions and reducing CO₂ emissions, has been significantly redefined through advances in software technologies and material sciences. These developments have led to the emergence of the façade system as a structurally independent...

The process of infill within the built environment represents a fundamental and increasingly indispensable approach to sustainable societal and environmental development. Although rooted in past practices and experiences of modern urbanization, its methodological frameworks must be continuously reinterpreted in response to climate change and contem...

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...
