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 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...

In this paper, the theoretical concept of roadway superelevation based on speed in free traffic flow is derived. The influence of the radius of the horizontal curve on speed in free traffic flow as a basis of this analysis is taken from a more detailed experimental research for two-lane rural highways. This method is new and differs from others tha...

The increased demand for residential space is in constant conflict with available spatial resources. Utilization of unbuilt urban land for residential purpose is faced with two opposing extremes – development of single-family housing in peripheral urban areas, on one hand, and the insertion of multi-family housing as infill in central urban z...

The possibilities for the integration of tensioned membrane structures and photovoltaics have been researched intensively in the past decade. This integration has huge potential and is intended to bring benefits to both of these individual systems. This paper presents a preliminary communication of the research that is intended to facilitate the PV...

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...
