A sustainability analysis of an incineration project in Serbia
(Waste Management & Research, 2013)
The only option for municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment adopted so far in Serbia is landfilling. Similarly to other south-eastern European countries, Serbia is not recovering any energy from MSW. Fifty percent of electricity ...
Time-inhomogenous Markov chains in the bridge management
(Taylor and Francis - Balkema, 2014)
Available Bridge Management Systems vary in detail, but generally they comprise a deterioration model to predict condition development and a preservation optimization model to determine the optimum preservation policy. ...
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 ...
Application of semi-Markov decision process in bridge management
(International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE), 2015)
The state-of-the-art Bridge Management Systems (BMSs) feature tightly coupled deterioration and preservation optimization model that enable determining the most cost-effective maintenance strategies at both the project and ...
Vulnerability Assessment of Bridges Exposed to Scour
(Transportation Research Record, 2013)
To improve the allocation of funds for the maintenance and risk mitigation of transportation infrastructure, there is a dire need for a simplified, yet sufficiently accurate, methodology to estimate bridge vulnerability ...
2010 Kraljevo Earthquake Recovery Process Metrics Derived from Recorded Reconstruction Data
(16th European Conference on Earthquake Engineering, 2018)
Earthquake resilience starts with a sudden drop of performance when an earthquake strikes followed by a relatively long recovery phase. The dynamics and volume of investment directly affect the rate and level of recovery. ...
