Experimental investigation of end-notched glulam beams reinforced with GFRP bars
(Springer Nature, 2022)
End-notched timber beams can have a significant decrease in load-carrying capacity as a consequence of stress concentration due to height reduction at the supports. To prevent crack opening and its propagation at the ...
On the Wind Energy Resource above High-Rise Buildings
(MDPI, 2020)
One of the main challenges of urban wind energy harvesting is the understanding of the flow characteristics where urban wind turbines are to be installed. Among viable locations within the urban environment, high-rise ...
Application of Copper Mining Waste in Radionuclide and Heavy Metal Immobilization
(Wiley-VCH GmbH, Weinheim, 2021)
Copper slag flotation tailings (CSFT), as the end waste from copper mining, are evaluated for radionuclide and heavy metal immobilization. Characterization of CSFT based on grain size and mineral composition, surface ...
Augmented state estimation of urban settings using on-the-fly sequential Data Assimilation
(Elsevier, 2023)
A data-driven investigation of the flow around a high-rise building is per- formed by combining heterogeneous experimental samples and numerical models based on the Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations. The ...
Between graphical zonotope and graph-associahedron
(Turkish Journal of Mathematics, 2023)
This manuscript introduces a finite collection of generalized permutohedra associated to a simple graph. The first polytope of this collection is the graphical zonotope of the graph and the last is the graph–associahedron ...
Shear behaviour of demountable connections with bolts and headed studs
(The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, 2023)
Following the trend of sustainable development and structure reuse, many novel solutions related to demountable shear connectors for application in steel-concrete composite beams have been proposed in recent years. This ...
COVID-19 Struggle and Post-COVID-19 Recovery: Exploring the Governance, Success, and Digital Transition in Construction Projects in Serbia
(Sustainability, 2023)
Construction, one of the largest global economic sectors, has been severely challenged by the economic uncertainties brought on by COVID-19. Since 2020, pandemic-related disruptions and remedial measures have made its ...
Early Highway Construction Cost Estimation: Selection of Key Cost Drivers
(MDPI, 2023)
Cost estimates in the early stages of project development are essential for making the right deci-sions, but they are a huge challenge and risk for owners and potential contractors due to limited information about the ...
Failure Assessment of Embankment Dam Elements: Case Study of the Pirot Reservoir System
(MDPI, 2022)
The paper presents a functionality investigation of the key dam elements based on finite element analysis. A detailed analysis of filtration processes, dam strength, and the surrounding rock mass was conducted. Dam elements ...
