Social interaction is shaped by a dynamic interplay between individuals and their physical surroundings, with each continuously influencing the other. From early childhood onward, individuals engage in diverse social situations, and peer interactions within school environments play a critical role in their development. Therefore, schools are recogn...

Reliable method for estimating pan evaporation is essential for modelling precipitation, different water balance studies and water management, especially in conditions with prominent climatic changes, such are urban conditions. Four empirical equations (Stephens and Stewart, Griffiths, Kohler-Nordenson-Fox and Linacre 1994) are used for modelling p...

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are increasingly prioritized in contemporary urban planning of residential areas, as they offer sustainable and resilient responses to environmental and social challenges, by integrating nature to enhance climate adaptation, biodiversity, and human well-being. Given their crucial role in enhancing public open space (POS...

In civil engineering, high-profile sheets (HPS) are widely used. They are used as loadbearing elements in a system of stacked roofs, for covering large-span structures or as permanent formwork when casting concrete slabs. Determining the load-bearing capacity of these elements is a complex task, and designers take this data from the manufacturer's ...

Global warming and rising energy demand make brise-soleil systems increasingly important in energy-efficient cooling and reducing carbon emissions in warm climates. This study examines a newly designed residential neighborhood in Baošići, Montenegro, characterized by a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters. The effecti...

This research explores the evolution of public open spaces (POS) in large housing estates (LHE) within the post-socialist context, using the Czech Republic as example. The study investigates the challenges and opportunities associated with the redevelopment of POS, considering the impacts of privatization, socio-economic transformations, and urban ...

Coastal bridges constitute critical components for the transportation in offshore areas, and thus their serviceability and safety against hazard such as earthquakes need to be ensured in a life-cycle perspective. However, coastal bridges are confronted with significant corrosion that results in degradation effects mainly on concrete piers. This can...

Excavation of tunnels with a small overburden inevitably implies surface settlements, especially when they are carried out in soft soil or weak rock masses. Subsidence becomes a critical aspect when the construction of tunnels is realized in narrower urban areas, directly below occupied residential buildings. Taking as an example the Kobilja Glava ...

The paper discusses the specific problems that occur with deep freeze storages, from the aspect of building physics. A special review is given of the phenomenon of soil stability, i.e. soil bearing capacity, in the context of soil freezing, deformations of the floor structure, and functional disorders in the interior of deep freeze stores.A case fr...

Because of the significance of the river Nišava for the city, the Municipality of Pirot has adopted a water protection concept for the city of Pirot and several smaller settlements located upstream along the Nišava River (Krupac, Veliko Selo, Veliki Jovanovac, Mali Jovanovac, Trnjana, Izvor). The wastewater treatment would be done eit...
