Reliable method for estimating pan evaporation is essential for modelling precipitation, different water balance studies and water management, especially in conditions with prominent climatic changes, such are urban conditions. Four empirical equations (Stephens and Stewart, Griffiths, Kohler-Nordenson-Fox and Linacre 1994) are used for modelling p...

Designing of structures with medium to high performance requirements is a demanding and challenging engineering task. Depending on the location and type of the planned structure, various pre-testing methods should be applied. In recent decades, there has been a focus on the durability of concrete. Concrete is a porous material with a relatively thi...

In civil engineering, high-profile sheets (HPS) are widely used. They are used as loadbearing elements in a system of stacked roofs, for covering large-span structures or as permanent formwork when casting concrete slabs. Determining the load-bearing capacity of these elements is a complex task, and designers take this data from the manufacturer's ...

The Sarajevo depression and its surrounding area, from a hydrogeological perspective, represent an exceptionally complex system. In an area that was subjected to intense tectonic processes in geological history, due to the activity of specific climatic and hydrological conditions, a series of exogenous processes were activated, which, in morphologi...
