Hydrodynamic Loads in a Stilling Basin of a Converging Stepped Spillway: An Experimental Study
(MDPI, 2023)
This paper presents a methodology for estimation of hydrodynamic loads acting on the bottom and at the walls of a stilling basin of a stepped chute with converging walls, based on the pressure measurements at the selected ...
Framework for Dynamic-Stiffness-Based Free Vibration Analysis of Plate-Like Structures
(Hindawi Limited, 2019)
A framework for free vibration analysis of plate-like structures is presented in the paper. Based on the previously formulated dynamic stiffness elements, FREEVIB object-oriented software in Python environment has been ...
Selection of wastewater treatment technology: AHP method in multi-criteria decision making
(MDPI, Basel, Switzerland, 2023)
Wastewater treatment is a process that reduces pollution to those quantities and concentrations at which purified wastewater is no longer a threat to human and animal health and safety and does not cause unwanted changes ...
Extension of the ζ-method for calculating deflections of two-way slabs based on linear elastic finite element analysis
(wileyonlinelibrary.comfib. International Federation for Structural Concrete, 2021)
Deflections are among the most complex aspects of reinforced concrete behavior.
Furthermore, deflection control is increasingly a governing criterion in
design, especially in the case of two-way members such as flat slabs ...
Adriseismic Methodology for Expeditious Seismic Assessment of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings
(Buildings, 2023)
The paper describes a novel Adriseismic method for exp4editious assessment of seismic risk associated with unreinforced masonry buildings. The methodology was developed for the Adriseismic project of the Interreg ADRION ...
Performance Evaluation of Asphalt Mixtures Containing Different Proportions of Alternative Materials
(MDPI, 2023)
With the increasing scarcity and cost of virgin materials for asphalt mixtures, the exploration of alternative components has intensified. Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), crumb rubber (CR), steel slag (SS), and waste ...
Service Life Design of Concrete Structures Made of High-Volume Limestone Powder Concrete—Case of the Carbonation-Induced Corrosion
(MDPI, Basel, Switzerland, 2023)
One of the paths to CO2 emissions reduction in the concrete industry is to use low-clinker cements, providing at the same time the performance of concrete that is adequate for application in concrete structures. This paper ...
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 ...
Sustainability assessment of recycled aggregate concrete structures: A critical view on the current state-of-knowledge and practice
(Wiley, 2023)
The environmental impacts of activities such as raw material extraction, construction
of infrastructure, and demolition, place construction as one of the
sectors that exert the highest pressures on the environment, ...
