Bridge failure modes due to local scour
(Taylor and Francis - Balkema, 2014)
The scour and in particular the local scour induced by flooding events is the predominant cause of bridge collapses and thus severing the related road link with adverse consequences for the road users and the society in ...
ESTIMATION OF THE DEFLECTION OF VERTICAL COMPONENTS USING PRECISE LEVELLING AND GNSS MEASUREMENTS ON HIGH PRECISION LEVELLING NETWORK OF SERBIA
(19th International Multidisciplinary Scientific GeoConference SGEM 2019, 2019)
This paper presents the combined method of determining the deflection of vertical components ? and ? based on the precise levelling and GNSS measurements. In general, there are several methods, but the combined method ...
Assessing the financial feasibility of availability payment PPP projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014)
Over the last couple of decades there has been an increased contribution of the private sector to finance infrastructure projects. However, in view of the current global financial crisis, it has become more difficult for ...
Impedance matrix for four adjacent rigid surface foundations
(European Association for Structural Dynamics, 2014)
In this paper, a frequency dependent impedance matrix for four adjacent rigid foundations resting on the viscoelastic halfspace is presented. The frequency dependent impedance matrix is developed using the integral transform ...
Structural rehabilitation and stabilization of Smederevo fortress Tower 11
(BULGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCE AND ARTS Scientific Institute for Architecture, Construction and Urban Planning, 2017)
This paper presents the structural rehabilitation and stabilization of Tower 11 of Smederevo fortress. The tower is tilted for about 1.8 m towards its outer edge, that is, towards the surrounding vertical walls that it was ...
Simplified design recommendations for beam-to-column joints according to Eurocode
(Eighth International Conference on ADVANCES IN STEEL STRUCTURES, 2015)
The design rules in EN 1993-1-8 (the Eurocode) for beam-to-column joints in steel frames with endplate are based on the component method. Generally, three different zones of the joint are considered: tension, shear and ...
Calibration of the bolt pretension by strain gauges vs. FEA
(MASE - Macedonian Association of Structural Engineers Faculty of Civil Engineering, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia, 2015)
When applying high strength bolts in friction connections, in such case a load–bearing capacity depends on a pretension force in the bolts as well as on a friction coefficient found on friction surfaces. It is important ...
Quality control plan for road bridges – Overview of COST Action TU1406 WG3 final report
(IABSE Symposium, Guimaraes 2019: Towards a Resilient Built Environment Risk and Asset Management - Report, 2019, 2019)
The main objective of the COST Action TU1406 is to develop a guideline for the establishment of Quality Control plans for roadway bridges. The guideline is based on conclusions of Working groups 1 and 2 of the Action and ...
Innovative System for Earthquake Resistant Masonry Infill Walls
(16th European Conference on Earthquake Engineering, 2018)
Severe damages of masonry infill walls in reinforced concrete and steel frames have been observed after many earthquakes. Typically, masonry infill walls are loaded not just in-plane and out-of-plane but also simultaneously ...
Land-use suitability analysis of Belgrade city suburbs using machine learning algorithm
(Institute of geoinformatics VŠB - Technical University of Ostrava, 2013)
This paper treats development issues of the suburban areas of Belgrade city. A considerable growth that the city had experienced has led to excessive consumption of land and also to degradation of the landscape and loss ...
