In this paper structural assessment of Partizan sports complex in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is presented. The sports complex was damaged during 1993., and since then did not had significant rehabilitation activities. The complex is composed of three parts: main building,  sports ground and locker rooms. Main building and locker rooms are...

Large housing estates were the dominant form of housing in socialist cities, with more than half of the urban population residing in them – sometimes even exceeding 80%. While the primary focus in housing construction was on efficiency and quantity, attention was also given to the quality of living. The layout of these estates, featuring...

The primary goal of this paper is to develop a mathematical model that describes groundwater flow within a porous medium. By employing mathematical modelling techniques for fluid flow analysis, valuable insights can be gained into complex flow conditions that are often difficult to assess using conventional analytical methods. Given that the spatia...
