THE ROLE OF CIVIL ENGINEERS IN BUILDING ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATION
Energy certification of new buildings was introduced in the Republic of Serbia as a mandatory procedure in 2012. In addition to civil engineers, eligibility to take the professional examination and issue Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) is granted to architects, mechanical engineers, and electrical engineers who have completed at least 300 EC...

NUMERICAL MODELLING OF TUNNELS IN BLOCK-IN-MATRIX FORMATIONS
This paper presents an automated workflow linking a voxel-based block-in-matrix (BiM) ground model to PLAXIS 2D through its Python HTTP API, focusing on finite element (FE) simulation of tunnel excavation in such heterogeneous rock. Building on prior borehole-constrained ground model and conditional random field (CRF) matrix-variability studies, th...

APPLICATION OF THE JAPANESE JBDPA METHODOLOGY FOR THE SEISMIC ASSESSMENT OF EXISTING RC BUILDINGS
The seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is a critical concern, especially for structures designed prior to the implementation of modern seismic design provisions. This paper presents the Japanese JBDPA Standard (2001) as a comprehensive framework for the seismic assessment of existing RC buildings. The methodology emp...

ANALIZA AEROELASTIČNOG FENOMENA ODVAJANJA VRTLOGA KOD REFLEKTORSKOG STUBA PRIMENOM EVROKODA 1
Kod vitkih konstrukcija, odvajanje vrtloga izaziva oscilacije upravne na pravac strujanja vetra. U ovom radu izvršen je proračun maksimalnih amplituda poprečnih oscilacija primenom Pristupa 1 Priloga E Evrokoda 1-4 (SRPS EN 1991-1-4), na primeru reflektorskog stuba visine 39.3 metra u fazi izgradnje, bez reflektorske opreme. Rezultati pokazu...

REPRESENTATIVE MODULUS OF SUBGRADE REACTION FOR STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF INDUSTRIAL FLOOR SLABS – A CALIBRATION-BASED APPROACH
The Winkler model is the most widely used approach for the structural design of industrial floor slabs because of its simplicity and implementation in commercial software. However, selecting a representative modulus of subgrade reaction remains a major source of uncertainty. Conventional methods usually derive this parameter from predicted settleme...

NONLINEAR ANALYSIS OF (UN)BRACED STEEL FRAMES SUBJECTED TO HORIZONTAL LOAD
This paper presents a 2D nonlinear analysis of the load-carrying capacity of unbraced and concentrically braced steel frames subjected to lateral loading. The study was conducted using the incremental ("step-by-step") analytical method and finite element analysis. The effects of material and geometric nonlinearities, axial force, and brace cross-se...

PROJEKTOVANJE DRVENIH KONSTRUKCIJA PREMA EVROKODU 8: KLJUČNE IZMENE U DRUGOJ GENERACIJI
Razvoj poglavlja o drvenim konstrukcijama u Evrokodu 8 pokazuje postepeni prelazak od veoma konzervativnog pristupa ka savremenom konceptu seizmičkog projektovanja zasnovanom na duktilnosti i disipaciji energije u spojevima i vezama. U EC8 druge generacije uvrštena su pravila za nove inženjerske drvene proizvode, uvedena je detaljna klasifik...
