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 ...
Framework for Dynamic Modelling of the Dam and Reservoir System Reduced Functionality in Adverse Operating Conditions
(MDPI, 2022)
Dam and reservoir systems (DRSs) are crucial aspects of the infrastructure necessary for reliable water resource management. Nowadays, DRSs are being increasingly affected by numerous natural and anthropogenic impacts ...
Circular Economy in Construction and Demolition Waste Management in the Western Balkans: A Sustainability Assessment Framework
(Sustainability, 2022)
Population growth, consumerism and linear (take-make-dispose) economy models have been piling up waste for decades. The construction industry is also based primarily on linear economy models, but the good news is that most ...
Using Historical Aerial Photography in Landslide Monitoring: Umka Case Study, Serbia
(MDPI, Basel, Switzerland, 2022)
The application of remote sensing methods provides useful information that can be used for numerous research. Thus, spatial changes in soil, vegetation, hydrography and such can be analyzed. By analyzing the data obtained ...
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 ...
Span-to-depth ratio limits for deflection control of reinforced concrete elements
(Structural Concrete, 2022)
Indirect deflection control usually applies the limitation of the span-to-depth
ratio. The procedures that have developed in the past decades have mostly
been derived for predefined values of some of the relevant parameters. ...
An Adaptive Fiber Section Discretization Scheme for Nonlinear Frame Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2022)
The paper proposes an adaptive fiber section discretization scheme for inelastic frame elements. The scheme uses cubature rules for the efficient and accurate evaluation of the section response over the elastic portion of ...
Еxtended Schatten norms of random graphs and Nikiforov conjecture
(Hacettepe University, 2022)
In this paper we give a geometric mean and mean of
p-th degree of singular values for almost all graphs. We prove three
theorems about a conjecture of V. Nikiforov for Schatten p-norm
of graphs when p > 2. We prove that ...
Detection and In-Depth Analysis of Causes of Delay in Construction Projects: Synergy between Machine Learning and Expert Knowledge
(Sustainability, 2022)
Due to numerous reasons, construction projects often fail to achieve the planned duration. Detecting causes of delays (CoD) is the first step in eliminating or mitigating potential delays in future projects. The goal of ...
Long-Term Thermal Stress Analysis and Optimization of Contraction Joint Distance of Concrete Gravity Dams
(MDPI, 2022)
Results of the conducted research aiming to demonstrate the methodology of optimization of dam monolith length (distance between contraction joints), through monitoring the thermal tensile stresses during construction and ...
