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 ...
Control theory-based data assimilation for open channel hydraulic models: tuning PID controllers using multi-objective optimization
(IWA Publishing, 2022)
Reliable water resources management requires decision support tools to successfully forecast hydraulic data (stage and flow hydrographs). Even though data-driven methods are nowadays trendy to apply, they still fail to ...
Estimation of Changes in Sediment Transport along the Free-Flowing Middle Danube River Reach
(MDPI, 2023)
The subject of this study is an approximately 300 km long Middle Danube River reach that
spans from river kilometer (rkm) 1581 in Hungary to (rkm) 1255 in Serbia. The observed drying of
floodplains in Hungary some thirty ...
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 ...
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 ...
Definition of Circulation Conditions and Groundwater Genesis of the Complex Krupaja Hydrogeological Karst System (Eastern Serbia)
(MDPI, 2023)
The complex Krupaja karst system, located in Serbia, which consists of a strong karst spring, a thermal karst spring, and a borehole that captures sub-thermal waters, has been studied. A phenomenon which gives rise to the ...
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 ...
Parametric Study of Additional Temperature Stresses in Continuously Welded Rails on Steel Truss Railway Bridges
(MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), 2023)
Additional temperature stresses in continuously welded rails (CWRs) are caused by track/bridge interaction (TBI) due to thermal actions. Exceeding permissible stresses in CWRs on the bridge can lead to track buckling or ...
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 ...
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 ...
