AB  - The paper presents a nonlinear concentrated plasticity frame element for advanced analysis of steel frames exposed to elevated temperatures. The element extends the formulation based on the generalized plasticity material model that was successfully applied to the analysis of steel and composite structures. It considers the material's nonlinear behavior, temperature-induced loading, strength and stiffness degradation typical for structures under fire conditions. The nonlinear geometry is taken into account with the corotational formulation. Because of the generalized plasticity relations adoption, the element can describe the gradual yielding of cross sections. At the same time, the implemented return mapping algorithm ensures the element's high computational efficiency. The governing element equations, selection of parameters and computer implementation are discussed in the paper, followed by element validation through the number of experimental data examples and other numerical models. The comparative analysis demonstrated the element's versatility and capability to accurately predict the structural response of steel frame structures exposed to fire.

AB  - Ground floors of industrial buildings, fully supported on the ground or piles, are usually made
of several concrete segments connected through free-movement construction joints. These joints
should provide shear load transfer of the slab and minimise its vertical displacements while
allowing slab horizontal movement to prevent damage due to concrete dry shrinkage. The
construction joint “Dilat 08”, consisting of round steel dowels and steel formwork, was
experimentally tested in a laboratory environment to determine its behaviour to shear load. The
experimental double-shear setup consisted of three slabs connecting through the “Dilat 08” join
system, with two side slabs fully supported on the base and the middle slab on which the vertical
loading was applied. Specimens were formed with a gap of 10 mm between adjacent slabs to
simulate the construction joint opening. Two construction joint orientations were investigated
introducing the vertical load to the slab with a steel plate on the edge and to the slab with an
angle profile on the edge. Experimental testing of both specimens resulted in construction joint
failure due to concrete cracking around steel dowels, near the edges of the middle slab. The
investigation confirmed that the joint orientation affects the joint shear response, demonstrating
larger joint resistance when the steel plate is installed in the slab subjected to failure. Although
contributing to the joint bending stiffness before formwork installation on the site, the horizontal
leg of the angle profile decreases the joint resistance. Experimentally obtained joint resistance
was compared to the design values of resistance according to Technical Report 34 and EN 1992-
4, highlighting a considerable difference between the two analytical approaches. The comparison
between the “Dilat 08” and three types of free-movement joints available on the construction
market showed that “Dilat 08” features larger resistance according to Technical Report 34, but
it also weighs more.

AB  - When analysing the fire resistance of the steel structure of the stadium roof in the event of a fire,
the specific features of the stadium building must be taken into consideration. The stadium stands
are open units of the building that are directly connected to the surrounding area. The clear height
between the stadium roof and the stands is commonly large. However, the clear height between
relatively small parts of the roof, directly above the top of the stands, could be smaller, potentially
making this part of the roof the most vulnerable. On the stands of the stadium, it is prohibited to
bring items that contain combustible material. In addition, the structure of the stadium, benches
or chairs must be made of non-combustible material. Therefore, a fire that could compromise the
steel structure of the stadium roof can only come from the stadium premises on the stands or
under the stands. The fire scenarios on the stadium roof are not described in detail in the literature
compared to indoor (covered) sports arenas. To assess the fire resistance of the roof structure, it
is necessary to check all possible and potentially dangerous scenarios. The subject of the analysis
presented in this paper is the roof steel structure of the stadium in Loznica, Serbia, which was
built in the period 2021–2023. The study considers the following fire scenarios and their effects
on the roof steel structure: (i) a local fire on the stands, and (ii) a fire in the stadium premises
affecting the external members. The fire in stadium premises was analysed using the analytical
expressions provided in Annex B of EN 1991-1-2 and EN 1993-1-2, as well as through CFD
(Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis of fire propagation. The calculation was performed
for the domains of temperature, time and resistance, depending on the applied fire load analysis.
Results showed that the steel structure of the stadium roof in Loznica meets the load-bearing
codified criteria for the fire effects, with the exception of only one main roof truss. To address
this issue, it was decided to install fire-resistant glass in the TV studio on the building's third
floor to separate this area from the stands and prevent fire effects on the critical main roof truss.

AB  - Driven by the industry's needs to address energy dissipation issues in mechanical connections,
the set goals of the global scientific community, and previous research efforts to interpret how
the condition of contact surfaces between two bodies in contact can be significant, a unique
experimental setup has been devised to study the impact of the state of contact interaction
between two bodies on the system's response. The purpose of the designed experimental setup
is to correlate the roughness of contact surfaces with the deformation of a specially designed
experimental sample. The roughness of contact surfaces represents the most dominant
influencing factor in the contact interaction of two bodies. In terms of scale, the study,
measurement, and analysis of surface roughness fall under the micro and nano scales. On the
other hand, the change in deformation of the experimental sample as a result of the change in
roughness falls under the macro scale. Based on all the aforementioned, the fundamental idea of
the designed experimental setup can be seen. Considering that it is not possible to enter into
contact interaction and explicitly analyse the influence of roughness on the response of a
mechanical connection, the idea in overall research is to consider the macro behaviour of a
specially prepared experimental sample depending on the level of roughness of the contact
interaction surfaces at the micro level. The aim of this paper is to present details and challenges
in the construction of an instrument necessary for such precise examinations, named “Precision
Press with Arcs”.

AB  - The paper presents an experimental and analytical way of determining the impulse response of
a linear time-invariant damped system with one degree of freedom.
An experiment was conducted where the mass was excited by an impact load. Both the mass
acceleration and impact force values were recorded. The magnitude of the system's frequency
response was determined based on the recorded values, ensuring the relatively simple
identification of the system's basic parameters. Those parameters were used to define a suitable
mathematical model of the system, transfer function, and frequency response function in an
analytical form.
The impulse response of the system based on the recorded values of mass acceleration and impact
load is expressed as a discrete function. This function is determined by applying the inverse
discrete Fourier transform of the corresponding frequency response function.
The impulse response of the system, based on the mathematical model, is expressed as a
continuous function. This function is determined by applying the inverse Fourier transform of
the corresponding frequency response.
Finally, it was shown that the response of a system to arbitrary load could be determined by
convolving the impulse response of the system with the load function. Convolution of continuous
functions is difficult to perform, and it can be used only for the simplest problem and for
understanding the physical phenomenon. Discrete convolution has a practical utility because it
is easy to perform in some program languages like Matlab. However, discrete impulse response
has limitations depending on the test conditions.

AB  - The paper presents part of the conducted research on laser-displacement sensors for the
measurement of structural response in civil engineering applications. Usually, the level of
displacement in laboratory or on-site testing is in small to mid-range levels of 1.00 to 25.00 mm
and in the frequency range of up to 100 Hz. Appropriate sensors were selected and used
according to performance in the sense of resolution/accuracy.
Experiments are conducted on steel model beam in the laboratory and on-site real bridge
structure. In both analysed cases, data analysis was carried out in the sense of modal frequencies
and damping estimation with comparison with numerically computed values.
Presented are the results of two experiments, a laboratory-tested model of steel beam and an onsite
tested real bridge structure. In both cases have achieved good argument of test results,
estimated modal frequencies and damping of tested model/structure.
Data analyses conducted used a developed MATLAB script, while the numerical computation
conducted used SAP2000_v14 FEM package for structural analysis.
Excellent agreement of extracted results was achieved in the case of the laboratory-tested
structural model, as well as of extracted results of on-site tested real-world structure in the sense
of extracted modal frequencies and modal damping.
Finally, the conclusion is that laser-displacement sensors are quite appropriate for small to midrange
of expected displacement and are quite appropriate for such applications according to the
possibility of installation so that such sensors could be applied for structural testing, particularly
for dynamic testing of such structures because of their possibility of high sampling frequency
and high resolution/accuracy.

AB  - The efficient way to mitigate the impact of the concrete industry on climate change is to reduce the clinker content in the concrete mix. Beside incorporating supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), it is possible to use high filler content combined with concrete mix optimisation. Limestone powder emerges as a promising filler mineral due to its availability and ready-to-use technology. In this work, the carbonation resistance of concrete with a high limestone powder content (45–65% of the powder phase) was experimentally tested. Test results showed that, with an optimized mix design featuring low water content and increased paste and plasticizer volume, concrete mixes satisfied high workability and strength demands for commonly applied strength classes. However, carbonation resistance remains a challenge. After two years in indoor natural conditions, carbonation depths were 8%, 28%, and 67% greater than referent Portland cement concrete for mixes with 47%, 58%, and 65% limestone powder content, respectively. Further analyses showed the inapplicability of the existing fib Model Code 2010 service life prediction model to limestone powder concrete. Based on a comprehensive database of experimental results, the modification of the fib prediction was proposed. A full probabilistic service life analysis revealed that for concrete with more than 20% limestone powder content and for both 50 and 100-years’ design service life, the currently prescribed concrete cover depths in European standards should be increased, depending on the carbonation exposure class.

AB  - Headed stud shear connectors are commonly implemented in steel-concrete composite floors for connecting the concrete slab to the steel beam and providing composite action between those two elements. The orientation of profiled sheeting is usually transverse or parallel to the supporting beam, and for those cases, design codes provide specific detailing requests and relations for obtaining headed stud resistance. Nevertheless, design codes do not recognise specific configurations when the angle between profiled sheeting ribs and the beam is in the range between 0° and 90°, which is characteristic of irregular-shaped floor structures. Due to the lack of design recommendations for headed stud resistance in these cases, investigations of the effect of the rib-to-beam angle on headed stud shear performance were conducted and presented in this paper. Experimental work included push-out tests conducted on specimens with rib-to-beam angles of 45° and 60°, as well as control specimens with ribs transverse to the beam. The influence of varied rib-to-beam angles on shear connector properties such as shear resistance, stiffness, ductility, and failure mode was discussed. According to experimental research, finite element models of push-out tests were created and verified. The parametric numerical analysis covered key parameters such as concrete class, headed stud height and diameter, and rib-to-beam angle. According to the results, an analytical relation for obtaining headed stud resistance in profiled steel sheeting with a rib-to-beam angle between 30° and 90° was proposed.

AB  - The applicability of solid bricks waste in geopolymerization technique was considered. Waste samples were characterized in terms of mineralogical composition by XRD prior to mechanical testing. XRD analysis showed that both brick samples contained anorthite, wollastonite, and mullite as the main components. The compressive strength investigation was carried out by screening method with three geopolymer mixtures. Geopolymer mixtures were prepared with alkaline activators; the mixtures were poured into molds and air-dried for 28 days. The compressive strength of samples was measured according to the standard SRPS EN 12390-3:2010 for cubic samples. The compressive strength values ranged from 9.8 MPa for the newer solid brick, 10.2 MPa for the older solid brick, and 10.5 MPa for the solid brick mix waste geopolymer sample. The most likely underlying reason for the higher compressive strength results of the older solid brick and the mixed sample is their mineral composition, i.e. higher proportion of aluminosilicate. However, all samples showed satisfactory compressive strengths, and it represents an excellent basis for further research.

AB  - This paper aims to examine the applicability of thick-film piezo-resistive sensors on steel bars for the structural health monitoring purposes. A thick film ceramic piezo-resistive sensor was manufactured and used to investigate the possibility of its application on a bar. To form the device, Bi2Ru2O7 resistive thick-film composition was used in combination with Pd/Ag conductive composition on alumina ceramic substrates. Six conductive pads divided the resistor into seven identical segments. Sensor was subjected to a three-point bending test. After it was glued to a steel bar like a common foil strain gauge, a four-point bending test was performed on a sensor placed on the upper side of the bar. Under strain, sensor experienced reversible deformation that was registered as a change in the resistivity of the film. Evaluation of the sensor included measurements of the resistance change under the applied strain, determination of the gage factor and investigations of its physical integrity and temperature stability.

After it was glued to a steel bar like a common foil strain gauge, a four-point bending test was performed on a sensor placed on the upper side of the bar. Under strain, sensor experienced reversible deformation that was registered as a change in the resistivity of the film. Evaluation of the sensor included measurements of the resistance change under the applied strain, determination of the gage factor and investigations of its physical integrity and temperature stability.",

AB  - The construction sector is responsible for approximately 39% of energy use and process-related carbon dioxide emissions. Mixing waste materials into concrete, as a substitute for cement 
and/or aggregate, increases energy efficiency and sustainability in general. Additionally, pressure 
on the environment is decreasing by reducing the amount of exploitation of natural raw materials. 
On the other hand, the rapid progress of the electronic industry has led to the generation of a large 
amount of electrical waste before the end of its useful life. Disposal of old monitors and TV screens, i.e. their cathode-ray tubes (CRT), represents a major problem for the environment because CRT waste is classified as hazardous due to its high lead content. This paper deals with an overview of investigations on CRT waste utilization in cement materials in order to increase sustainability and encourage a circular economy in the construction sector.

AB  - Utilization possibilities of solidified fractions of industrial hazardous waste obtained by mixing
with inert materials in construction were investigated. Waste mineral oils, water-hydrocarbon
emulsions mixture, and waste filter cakes from the physico-chemical treatment of wastewater
generated by washing of patterned rollers for a printing machine, were used as models of
industrial hazardous waste in the solidification process. Investigation comprised preparation of
concrete and asphalt mixtures for further testing. The solidified powder was analyzed regarding
the granulometric composition, while the obtained concrete samples were further subjected
to compressive strength determination, whereas the asphalt mixtures were tested in the
context of potential waterproofing materials. According to the obtained leaching test results,
all the samples met the required conditions for further application. Compressive strength test
results were in the range of 8.7 – 22.6 MPa. Still, the measured compressive strength values
were lower than expected, which is explained using solidified powder fractions of smaller grain
size. According to the results, it can be concluded that the investigated mixtures cannot be used
for structural building elements, but their usage is recommended for elements such as
pavements, roadside, path cubes, concrete haberdashery, etc. Asphalt mixtures showed
acceptable properties in terms of mechanical, durability, and waterproofing tests.

AB  - Although, the salt crystallization is one of the most common causes of the deterioration of lime-based mortars, testing of their resistance to the soluble salt action has not yet been standardized. The problems following the development of the globally accepted testing method are, among others: defining the type of mortar samples, ways of samples’ contamination, the type and the concentration of the salt solutions used, environmental conditions during testing, determination of the damage development and the durability assessment. Another task of the testing method is to explain and connect the processes developing in the materials when they are applied in laboratory and real conditions. In this paper, soluble salt resistance testing of lime mortars on the composite samples is presented. The main focus of the paper is on the determination of the salt distribution in this type of samples after the five wetting and drying cycles. Samples consisted of two lime rendering layers (inner – 1/3 and outer -1/1), both prepared according to the experiences found in the literature for these types of lime mortars when applied on historical structures, placed on the natural stone bases. They were cured in laboratory conditions for 90 days, before drying and exposing to soluble salts action. Two types of 10% salt solutions were used for the test: sodium-chloride and sodium-sulfate. Salt contamination was performed by capillary action only in the first cycle, while in the other cycles samples were wetted by deionized water. After the finalization of the cycles, the detached pieces of mortar and efflorescence were removed from the samples. One of the samples from both groups were then cut in two halves, from which one was used for X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and another for Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (SEM – EDX) characterization. For the XRF analysis samples were divided into four layers, and then crushed and sieved through 0.5 mm sieve before testing. For the SEM-EDX analysis the polished thick cross sections were prepared. The paper presents the results of these two analyses, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of their application for this purpose. Mineralogical analysis of the samples was performed using XRD analysis. It was shown that XRF analysis provides more precise quantification of the elements within one sample, while SEM-EDX analysis gives possibilities for testing of layers with smaller depth within one cross – section.

AB  - In the past few decades, demountable connectors have often been used for
connections in composite and mixed steel-concrete structures to reduce
construction time and costs. Furthermore, the application of demountable
connectors enables the reuse of structural elements in these structures, which leads
to sustainable design and a circular economy. In this paper, the demountable
connector is made out of two parts: (1) mechanical coupler and rebar anchor placed
in formwork before casting the concrete element, and (2) steel bolt used for
connecting steel to the RC element. Although this connector is increasingly being
used in contemporary building structures, its behaviour in composite connections is
still insufficiently defined. The paper presents the results of experimental tests and
numerical analysis of the connector with a mechanical coupler, focusing on the local
behaviour of the tapered threaded connection between the mechanical coupler and
rebar anchor.

AB  - This paper reports the experimental study on compressed I-section short columns with web openings aimed at providing insight on the specific mechanical behaviour underlying the local buckling of the web panel around the opening. The I-section elements with web openings possess a minute flexural stiffness caused by lack of web contribution to the cross-section deformation capacity. In the case of compresses columns, this structural feature implies the high combined stresses around openings caused by compression force, global bending moment and shear force developed during buckling, and local bending moments due to Vierendeel action. The four stub column tests on IPE300-sections with widely spaced (isolated) and closely spaced circular and square web openings (S275 steel grade) was performed to determine their susceptibility to local buckling. The generated experimental data allowed the quantitative assessment of design procedure stated in draft version of new European code prEN 1993-1-13, revealing its good accuracy.

AB  - Pearson’s and Spearman’s methods are most often used in popular software packages to calculate the correlation coefficient between two variables in natural sciences. The (1) difference between them is that the Pearson’s method takes actual numerical values into account whereas the Spearman’s operates with their ranks. Ranking is often efficient in dealing with nonlinearities and outliers in the data. However, not both independent (x) and outcome (y) variable have to be suitable for this. We propose not to rank the independent variable in case it comes sine-shaped. Most notable example of such a variable in nature is the temperature. It is sine-shaped due to day-night and summer-winter transitions. It does not contain many outliers, not only due to the shape, but also because it is often sampled at multiple points and averaged (to be linked with a single outcome variable observation). The proposed method is evaluated in simulations and with experimental data obtained in South Adriatic zooplankton research. Practical advices on how to apply it using popular software tools are given.

AB  - Structural health monitoring (SHM) has gained significant attention in the field of civil engineering due to effective maintenance of structures, particularly bridges. However, traditional SHM methods have limitations in providing accurate and continuous data, which has led researchers to explore new technologies, one of which is fiber optic sensor (FOS) monitoring. This paper provides a comprehensivereview of the use of FOS in bridge SHM, highlighting the challenges and potential of this technology. FOS are convenient for SHM due to their high accuracy, immunity toelectromagnetic interference, and capability of working in harsh environments. They are particularly suitable for quasi-distributive anddistributive measurement systems on capital civil engineering structures. FOS can be utilized to measurevarious parameters, including deformation, temperature, and strain. In bridge constructions, FOS can beinstalled in multiple locations.
Deformation measurements using FOS can provide accurate information on the displacement and
deflection of the bridge, which can help in detecting abnormalities or damages. Temperature
measurements using FOS can detect effects of thermal load on bridges, which can cause significant damage. Strain measurements using FOS can help describe the stress distribution in 
the bridge, which can be used for maintenance purposes. FOS-based SHM systems can provide real-time and continuous data, which can help in detecting any potential problems at an early stage and preventing catastrophic failures. The use of FOS in SHM of bridges has been extensively researched and demonstrated in various studies. However, challenges such as installation, calibration, and interpretation of the data require further research.
The paper will discuss the potential of FOS-based SHM systems in improving the safety and reliability of bridge constructions. It will also highlight the challenges related to FOS installation, calibration, and data interpretation and provide insights into future research directions for developing more robust and cost-effective FOS-based SHM systems.

AB  - The propagation of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals through the atmosphere is affected by the electron content in the ionosphere and the air density in the electrically neutral troposphere, thus causing a signal delay and leading to errors in the GNSS observations and the estimated positions. 	Our research has been conducted related to the influence of the tropospheric layer of the Earth's atmosphere on signals at geodetic observation stations in the zenith direction. Since tropospheric refraction cannot be directly estimated, the signal delay has been quantified by applying several developed models. As the lowest layer of the atmosphere, the average height of the troposphere is approximately ten kilometers, and it is variable concerning the latitude of the measuring station and seasonal conditions. The tropospheric delay of the GNSS signal - Zenith Total Delay (ZTD), was analyzed on the examples of three International GNSS Service (IGS) stations at different latitudes. Two epochs in July 2022 and January 2023 for each IGS station are considered regarding seasonal differences in the atmospheric parameters. It was found that at each of the IGS stations, there is an oscillation of the ZTD amplitude with a half-day period. Different patterns were distinguished at each station, depending on the station latitude and epoch, i.e., summer or winter atmospheric conditions. For example, a random walk signal was dominant at the ROAG, San Fernando IGS station.

AB  - Image-based hydrological measurement techniques have surged in popularity over the last decade, with the most common type of data obtained being the open-channel surface velocity field and flow rate. The lack of a feature-rich image velocimetry software often forces practitioners to use multiple tools as part of a cumbersome workflow, which restricts the uptake of such methods and reduces the reproducibility of results. We present the free and open-source software SSIMS-Flow, which handles extraction of video frames, removal of geometric distortions, video stabilization, orthorectification, image enhancement, and velocity and flow rate estimation using the Farnebäck optical flow method improved with specific pooling techniques developed in this study. SSIMS-Flow performance is tested in two case studies and compared with direct reference values and those obtained using industry-standard PIVlab software. In low seeding and tracerless conditions, SSIMS-Flow demonstrates higher velocity estimation accuracy, while delivering several times faster computational runtime.

AB  - Sa hidrauličkog stanovišta, prostorni raspored vodene vegetacije u koritima i na obalama vodotoka je slučajan i nezavisan od karakteristika toka. Vegetacija svojim prisustvom pruža otpore kretanju vode i utiče na tran-sportne procese i procese mešanja. Proračun otvorenih tokova sa promenljivim prostornim rasporedom vege-tacije zahteva da se prilikom numeričkog modeliranja vodi računa o konvektivnim članovima, jer oni pored zavisno promenljivih sadrže i prostorno promenljivu poroznost usled prisustva vegetacije u koritu. U ovom radu se za opis linijskih otvorenih tokova sa promenljivim rasporedom vegetacije koriste trostruko osrednjene Navije-Stoksove jednačine (Depth-Integrated Double-Averaged Navier-Stokes - DIDANS equations). Prikazan je postupak njihovog numeričkog rešavanja primenom metode konačnih zapremina. Za diskretizaciju jednačina u kojima se konvektivni član piše u razvijenom obliku da bi se uzela u obzir prostorna promena poroznosti, koristi se računski postupak razdvajanja fluksova (flux-difference splitting) i prilagođena Rouova računska shema za aproksimaciju zavisno promenljivih na granicama kontrolne zapremine. Modifikovan Rouov postupak testiran je na pojednostavljenom, idealizovanom primeru homogenih DIDANS jednačina (horizontalno dno i zanemareni otpori trenja i oblika). Rezultati numeričkog modela upoređeni su sa analitičkim rešenjem za ovaj pojednostavljen slučaj, pri čemu je dobijeno odlično slaganje.
AB  - From the point of view of Engineering Hydraulics, the spatial distribution of the aquatic vegetation in the natural streams and their floodplanes is random and unrelated to the streams' flow characteristics. Aquatic vegetation enhances flow resistance and influences mixing and transport processes. Numerical simulation of open channel flows with variable spatial distribution of aquatic vegetation requires a special treatment of the advective terms, because, besides the main variables, they also contain the spatialy variable porosity due to the presence of vegetation in the channel. In this paper flow in open channels with variable spatial distribution of vegetation is described using triple-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (Depth-Integrated Double-Averaged Navier-Stokes, DIDANS equations). They are solved numerically using the finite volume method. The equations with the advective terms explicitly accounting for the spatial variation of porosity are solved by using the flux difference splitting and Roe's method for approximation of the dependent variables at the boundaries between the computational cells. The modified Roe's method is tested on an idealised case of homogeneous DIDANS equations (horizontal bed and all flow resistance terms neglected). Numerical results for this simplified case are in excellent agreement with the analytical solution.

abstract = "Sa hidrauličkog stanovišta, prostorni raspored vodene vegetacije u koritima i na obalama vodotoka je slučajan i nezavisan od karakteristika toka. Vegetacija svojim prisustvom pruža otpore kretanju vode i utiče na tran-sportne procese i procese mešanja. Proračun otvorenih tokova sa promenljivim prostornim rasporedom vege-tacije zahteva da se prilikom numeričkog modeliranja vodi računa o konvektivnim članovima, jer oni pored zavisno promenljivih sadrže i prostorno promenljivu poroznost usled prisustva vegetacije u koritu. U ovom radu se za opis linijskih otvorenih tokova sa promenljivim rasporedom vegetacije koriste trostruko osrednjene Navije-Stoksove jednačine (Depth-Integrated Double-Averaged Navier-Stokes - DIDANS equations). Prikazan je postupak njihovog numeričkog rešavanja primenom metode konačnih zapremina. Za diskretizaciju jednačina u kojima se konvektivni član piše u razvijenom obliku da bi se uzela u obzir prostorna promena poroznosti, koristi se računski postupak razdvajanja fluksova (flux-difference splitting) i prilagođena Rouova računska shema za aproksimaciju zavisno promenljivih na granicama kontrolne zapremine. Modifikovan Rouov postupak testiran je na pojednostavljenom, idealizovanom primeru homogenih DIDANS jednačina (horizontalno dno i zanemareni otpori trenja i oblika). Rezultati numeričkog modela upoređeni su sa analitičkim rešenjem za ovaj pojednostavljen slučaj, pri čemu je dobijeno odlično slaganje., From the point of view of Engineering Hydraulics, the spatial distribution of the aquatic vegetation in the natural streams and their floodplanes is random and unrelated to the streams' flow characteristics. Aquatic vegetation enhances flow resistance and influences mixing and transport processes. Numerical simulation of open channel flows with variable spatial distribution of aquatic vegetation requires a special treatment of the advective terms, because, besides the main variables, they also contain the spatialy variable porosity due to the presence of vegetation in the channel. In this paper flow in open channels with variable spatial distribution of vegetation is described using triple-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (Depth-Integrated Double-Averaged Navier-Stokes, DIDANS equations). They are solved numerically using the finite volume method. The equations with the advective terms explicitly accounting for the spatial variation of porosity are solved by using the flux difference splitting and Roe's method for approximation of the dependent variables at the boundaries between the computational cells.

AB  - Već trideset godina razmatraju se mogućnosti za poboljšanje metoda za procjenu krive protoka u slučajevima kada se voda izlije iz glavnog korita na plavne površine. Tradicionalne metode zasnovane na podjeli korita za veliku vodu na hidraulički homogene segmente i primjeni Maningove jednačine, vrijednost protoka precjenjuju za više od 60% [1]. Empirijske i fizički zasnovane metode koje su razvijene i unaprijeđene na osnovu mjerenja u laboratorijskim kanalima u uslovima ustaljenog jednolikog i nejednolikog tečenja pokazuju dobro slaganje sa mjerenjima. U ovom radu razmatraju se mogućnosti primjene empirijskog Ekersovog metoda i fizički zasnovanog metoda razmjene količine kretanja (MRKK), između glavnog korita i plavnih površina. Kao primjer primjene navedenih metoda koristi se profil hidrološke stanice Prijedor na rijeci Sani za koju postoje podaci osmatranja u domenu velikih voda. Vrijednosti protoka koje se dobiju na osnovu korišćenih metoda porede se sa vrijednostima sa krive protoka dobijena na osnovu terenskih mjerenja.
AB  - Possibilities for the improvement of the methods for the estimation of rating curves in compound channels in the range of overbank flows have been analysing for thirty years now. It was shown that traditional methods, which divide a compound channel into segments with uniform rougness and use Manning’s equation overestimate the discharge by more than 60%. Empirical and physically based methods that have been developed and improved based on the data collected in laboratory channels under the steady uniform and non-uniform flows show good agreement with new measurements. This paper discusses the possibilities of applying the empirical Ackers method, and the physically based exchange discharge model for the estimation of the overbank rating curve at the river gauging station. The Prijedor gauging station on the Sana River is used in this paper as an example. The choice is based on the availability of the measurement data of high flows. The discharge data obtained by the two methods are compared to the data from the official rating curve for the gauging station.
