Solar panels (SPs) are designed to withstand wind-induced loading, characterised by varying wind speeds and directions, as well as high turbulence. This paper examines force coefficient statistics—mean, standard deviation, 3-s gust and peak values—on an isolated SP model, using data from an experimental campaign conducted in the atmosph...

Wind turbine foundations belong to the category of massive concrete structures, in which controlling the temperature rise during the early stage of concrete hardening is of crucial importance for preventing cracks caused by thermal tensile stresses. This paper presents an example of a staged thermal analysis of massive wind turbine foundation withi...

The construction sector plays an important role in economic development but is highly sensitive to financial constraints during project implementation. While existing studies mainly focus on the sources of financing, less attention has been paid to the availability and timing of financial flows throughout the project lifecycle. Delays in financial ...

Hemp–lime composites are sustainable bio‑based materials with excellent hygrothermal performance and carbon sequestration potential, but their high porosity limits mechanical strength and broader use. This study examines the influence of fiberglass mesh reinforcement on the compressive behavior of hemp–lime composites with different par...

Prema EN 1993-1-9, pri verifikaciji zamor proračunske situacije, svi relevantni efekti povećanja napona u svim karakterističnim konstrukcionim detaljima moraju se uzeti u obzir, bez obzira na izabranu metodu proračunskog napona. Metode za verifikaciju graničnog stanja na zamor su metoda nominalnog napona, metoda napona u „vrućim-tačakama&ldq...

Rekonstrukcija objekta metalurgije, radi proširenja proizvodnog kapaciteta, nekad zahteva ojačanje, rušenje i građenje čelične i/ili armirano-betonske konstrukcije. Rušenje konstrukcije je rizičan posao, koji zahteva dosta iskustva. Kinesko preduzeće “Ciđin” (ZiJin) otpočelo je rekonstrukciju Topionice i Rafinacije ...

The sustainable rehabilitation of existing reinforced concrete railway bridges is gaining importance as transportation infrastructure approaches the end of its original design life. Reusing existing concrete substructures instead of complete replacement offers substantial environmental and economic benefits but requires robust assessment and target...

Major infrastructure failures rarely originate from a single defect, but emerge when deterioration, unfavorable load paths, limited redundancy, increasing operational demand, and incomplete knowledge interact. This paper synthesizes forensic and life-cycle evidence from two collapses: the 2018 Polcevera Viaduct in Genoa and the 2021 Champlain Tower...
