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 locations with low population density or constraints in technology, resources, and personnel, the use of centralized wastewater treatment systems is not be justified. In such areas, decentralized wastewater treatment systems offer several advantages overcentralized systems. In these systems, the treatment and disposal of effluent is close to the...
