LIQUEFACTION-INDUCED DAMAGE IN THE CITIES OF ISKENDERUN AND GOLBASI AFTER THE 2023 TURKEY EARTHQUAKE
On February 6th 2023 two major earthquakes struck southeast Turkey, M7.7 Kahramanmaras and M7.6 Elbistan, respectively. Unfortunately, due to the impact of these catastrophic events more than 50 000 casualties and 35 000 collapsed buildings have been reported since then. The aim of the study is to demonstrate preliminary site response analysis and ...

EFFECTS OF LANDFILL LEACHES ON GROUND AND SURFACE WATERS: A CASE STUDY OF A WILD LANDFILL IN EASTERN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Landfill leachate, due to its high total pollution, and above all due to their high organic pollution, represents a significant environmental problem. This study investigated the impacts of the Tilić ada landfill on ground and surface waters. The location of the landfill Tilić ada is extremely sensitive due to the fact that it is located right next...

TRACING THE LINGUISTIC JOURNEY OF GEOLOGICAL TERMS - A PHILOLOGICAL STUDY OF STRATIGRAPHY AND MINERALOGY
The paper discusses the etymological history of "stratigraphy" and "mineralogy," two critical geological terms, from their ancient roots in Latin and Greek to modern times. In fact, such scientific terms represent not only the steps of scientific advancement but also the general trend of cultural interaction and close interrelation between linguist...

RISK ASSESSMENT AND DECISION-MAKING IN GEOLOGY-DRIVEN PROJECTS: A MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE
Executing many civil projects is arduous due to the many associated dangers. Risk Assessment (RA) is crucial for selecting building projects and managing construction activities. RA examines adverse events in the preparation and scheduling phases of building projects. Construction risk refers to the vulnerability to possible losses. Given the const...

ARCHITECTURAL INNOVATIONS OF THE MEDIEVAL ERA THROUGH STRUCTURAL AND MATERIAL ADVANCEMENTS
The medieval period was a time of great architectural innovation, largely due to structural design and material technology advances. From roughly the 5th through the 15th century, new ways in constructing buildings greatly impacted the current face of Europe and the Middle East. Some of these innovations included the invention and use of pointed ar...

RESEARCH OF MARLY ROCKS ON THE TERRAIN FORECASTED FOR CONSTRUCTION OF SILOS OBJECTS
Complexity of geological terrain built demands different level of research in order to obtain all necessary characteristics for the establishing of connections between the structure of the objects and the terrain. Frequent changes of rocks in vertical profile and their irregular settling related to creasing of the terrain during geological history ...

SMART MINING: JOINT MODEL FOR PARAMETRIZATION OF COAL EXCAVATION PROCESS BASED ON ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
In the present paper we propose a new artificial neural network model for the estimation of coal cutting resistance and excavator performance as a nonlinear relationship between the examined input (excavator movement angle in the left and right direction, slice height and thickness, coal unit weight, compressive and shear strength) and output facto...

TIME DEPENDENT DEFORMATIONS OF A COUPLED BRIDGE: A CASE STUDY
The bridge's span structure comprises a connected beam designed to support a concrete slab poured over parallel steel supports. Simultaneously, segmental construction, shrinkage, and the flow of concrete play a significant role in stress redistribution over time. The span construction is statically indeterminate due to its connections with the abut...

ANALYSIS, COST ESTIMATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF REINFORCED CONCRETE SLAB STRENGTHENING BY STEEL AND CFRP STRIPS
As a result of the planned change of use, the imposed load on the existing reinforced concrete mezzanine slab will be significantly increased, wherefore a diagnostics and assessment of the current state of the structure has been carried out. The control calculation showed that the slab does not have sufficient bearing capacity for the increased loa...
