Erasing Memory: The Destruction of Generalštab and the loss of architectural identity
The ongoing destruction of the Generalštab complex in Belgrade, designed by Nikola Dobrović, represents a critical loss to modernist architecture, urban identity, and collective memory. Built between 1955 and 1965, the complex is a masterpiece of Yugoslav modernism, integrating symbolic topography, tectonic expression, and spatial dynamism, ...

Investigation of marble powder and waste as partial replacement for cement and sand on mortar properties
In this paper an investigation of marble powder (MP) as partial replacement for cement and marble waste (MW) as partial replacement for sand is presented. MP replaced the cement at the rate of 5%, 10% and 15% of cement by mass. MW was used as a replacement for sand at constant 50% replacement level. Control mixture was prepared without MP and MW. W...

HYDROLOGICAL AND HYDRAULIC MODELING OF RIVER CRNA FOR EVALUATING RIVER BASIN RESTORATION MEASURES
The degradation of the rivers and river basins caused by natural and/or anthropogenic factors can be prevented or significantly reduced by taking restoration measures. To define the restoration measures, it is necessary to perform a hydrological analysis of the river basin as well as a hydraulic analysis of the watercourse in the river basin. In t...

Computational analysis of free-edge effects in composite laminates using Abaqus
The free-edge effects are related to singular stress states at the interfaces between dissimilar layers in the vicinity of geometrical or mechanical discontinuities within the laminar composite. Stress concentration at free edges can further lead to delamination and a significant drop in stiffness, with fracture occurring at lower loads than expect...

Some aspects of electrokinetic soil treatment
One of the innovative and promising approaches to the stabilization of fine-grained soils with low bearing capacity is electrokinetic treatment which can be integrated with other techniques to enhance soil properties. This method could involve applying a low direct current through electrodes inserted into the soil while simultaneously introducing s...
