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 ...
Evaluation of Green and Grey Flood Mitigation Measures in Rural Watersheds
(MDPI, 2020)
Floods cause considerable damages worldwide and mitigation of their adverse effects through effective protection measures is needed. Along with the commonly applied “grey” infrastructure, “green” measures that can offer ...
Hydrodynamic Loads in a Stilling Basin of a Converging Stepped Spillway: An Experimental Study
(MDPI, 2023)
This paper presents a methodology for estimation of hydrodynamic loads acting on the bottom and at the walls of a stilling basin of a stepped chute with converging walls, based on the pressure measurements at the selected ...
Long-Term Thermal Stress Analysis and Optimization of Contraction Joint Distance of Concrete Gravity Dams
(MDPI, 2022)
Results of the conducted research aiming to demonstrate the methodology of optimization of dam monolith length (distance between contraction joints), through monitoring the thermal tensile stresses during construction and ...
The Impact on Karst Aquifer Regimes Induced by a Surface Reservoir in Karst through Multiparametric Analyses (Reservoir Bileća—Herzegovina)
(MDPI, 2023)
The results of long-term groundwater monitoring in the Bileća reservoir adjacent (eastern Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina) indicate that there is a good hydraulic connection between the reservoir and the karst aquifer ...
