Application of geophysical and multispectral imagery data for predictive mapping of a complex geo‑tectonic unit: a case study of the East Vardar Ophiolite Zone, North‑Macedonia
(Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, 2024)
The Random Forest (RF) and K nearest neighbors (KNN) machine learning (ML) algorithms were evaluated for their ability to predict ophiolite occurrences, in the East Vardar Zone (EVZ) of central North Macedonia. A predictive ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Bed-mounted Electro Magnetic meters: Assessment of the (Missing) Technical Parameters
(Elsevier, 2019)
Flow measurements in Urban Drainage Systems (UDS) are essential for pollution control and system management. Since the accuracy of, today the most popular, Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters is impeded by several factors, this ...
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 ...
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 ...
An Adaptive Section Discretization Scheme for the Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Steel Frames
(Journal of Structural Engineering, 2023)
The paper presents an adaptive section discretization scheme for the inelastic response analysis of structural members with cross sections that can be decomposed into rectangular and circular subdomains. Each subdomain can ...
Experimental investigation of end-notched glulam beams reinforced with GFRP bars
(Springer Nature, 2022)
End-notched timber beams can have a significant decrease in load-carrying capacity as a consequence of stress concentration due to height reduction at the supports. To prevent crack opening and its propagation at the ...
