Coastal bridges constitute critical components for the transportation in offshore areas, and thus their serviceability and safety against hazard such as earthquakes need to be ensured in a life-cycle perspective. However, coastal bridges are confronted with significant corrosion that results in degradation effects mainly on concrete piers. This can...

Excavation of tunnels with a small overburden inevitably implies surface settlements, especially when they are carried out in soft soil or weak rock masses. Subsidence becomes a critical aspect when the construction of tunnels is realized in narrower urban areas, directly below occupied residential buildings. Taking as an example the Kobilja Glava ...

The paper discusses the specific problems that occur with deep freeze storages, from the aspect of building physics. A special review is given of the phenomenon of soil stability, i.e. soil bearing capacity, in the context of soil freezing, deformations of the floor structure, and functional disorders in the interior of deep freeze stores.A case fr...

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 ...

Global warming and rising energy demand make brise-soleil systems increasingly important in energy-efficient cooling and reducing carbon emissions in warm climates. This study examines a newly designed residential neighborhood in Baošići, Montenegro, characterized by a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters. The effecti...

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...
