Circle in Space—Space in Circle: A Study of Ratio between Open Space and Built-Up Area in Historical Circular Objects
(MDPI, 2021)
Many cities nowadays explore different circular designs as new sustainable city concepts in different urban aspects. The new trend, as part of the adaptation for climate change, is a strategy of increasing the number of ...
Control theory-based data assimilation for hydraulic models as a decision support tool for hydropower systems: sequential, multi-metric tuning of the controllers
(IWA Publishing, 2021)
Increasing renewable energy usage puts extra pressure on decision-making in river hydropower systems. Decision support tools are used for near-future forecasting of the water available. Model-driven forecasting used for ...
The alternatives to traditional materials for subsoil stabilization and embankments
(MDPI, 2019)
Major infrastructure projects require significant amount of natural materials, often followed by the soft soil stabilization using hydraulic binders. This paper presents the results of a laboratory study of alternative ...
Quantifying Multi-Parameter Dynamic Resilience for Complex Reservoir Systems Using Failure Simulations: Case Study of the Pirot Reservoir System
(MDPI, 2021)
The objective of this research is to introduce a novel framework to quantify the risk of the reservoir system outside the design envelope, taking into account the risks related to flood-protection and hydro-energy generation ...
Image processing for hydraulic jump free-surface detection: coupled gradient/machine learning model
(IOP, 2020)
High-frequency oscillations and high surface aeration, induced by the strong turbulence, make water depth measurement for hydraulic jumps a persistently challenging task. The investigation of the hydraulic jump behaviour ...
On the Flow over High-rise Building for Wind Energy Harvesting: An Experimental Investigation of Wind Speed and Surface Pressure
(MDPI, 2020)
The human migration from rural to urban areas has triggered a chain reaction causing the spiking energy demand of cities worldwide. High-rise buildings filling the urban skyline could potentially provide a means to improve ...
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 ...
Structural Behaviour of Axially Loaded Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Columns during the Top-Down Construction Method
(Applied Sciences, 2022)
The paper discusses the structural behaviour of concrete-filled steel tube columns (CFT)
when applied to the top-down construction method as temporary internal supports for ceilings. Their
ultimate capacity to take into ...
Soil Erosion Assessment and Prediction in Urban Landscapes: A New G2 Model Approach
(MDPI, 2021)
Soil erosion is a global problem that negatively affects the quality of the environment, the availability of natural resources, as well as the safety of inhabitants. Soil erosion threatens the functioning of urban areas, ...
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 ...
