Buildings affect the wind flow pattern over an urban area. The wind has a significant effect on the comfort and safety of pedestrians, urban microclimate, and pollutant dispersion. It is important to include wind flow modeling in the early urban design to minimize wind safety issues and ensure pedestrian comfort. In this paper, numerical simulation...

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, ...

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...

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...

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...

The paper examines the main types of dormitories in Bulgaria: those for high-school students, university students and workers. The author’s classification is based on the differences in resident characteristics including age, educational degree, financial resources, duration of residence and other relevant factors. Despite certain similariti...

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...

The current trends in the construction industry show that sustainable materials are increasing instead of traditional construction materials. Since the construction industry is one of the largest consumers of energy and emitters of carbon dioxide, there is a need for more sustainable materials to be applied in construction. With the advanced techno...

Visual elements in the design of architectural forms are crucial in shaping space and creating the final architectural composition. The shape and proportion of the object determine how the architectural form will fit into the environment and how users will perceive the space. The colors and materials used in construction can significantly influence...

Recent studies emphasize the importance of energy efficiency in public buildings, with particular attention to school facilities. While much research focuses on enhancing the thermal performance of building envelopes, it is equally crucial to analyze the indoor environment, especially thermal comfort. Since classrooms are designed for younger popul...
