The “product” of architecture, as something that is created by the architect in a “design process”, along with other effective materialistic and environmental factors, depends on the worldview of the architect as the pioneer and director of the process. In fact, the architect‟s definition of human being and his aspects of existence on one hand and ...

Earth construction has long tradition in our civilization with wide distribution in various ways and techniques of application. When combined with other natural materials it is the material for construction of comfortable space for people. Increased need for energy efficient houses actualizes this type of construction in modern conditions as a holi...

Thermal bridges have significant influence at calculation of the energy performance classes of buildings. This especially applies to countries where energy performance classes of buildings are determined based only on energy consumption for heating (such as Serbia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Croatia...). Significant differences arise in determining th...

Building with earth is widespread and still mostly based on traditional experiences. Increasing demands in energy consumption reduction during the construction and exploitation of buildings put more and more in the focus the good features of houses built with earth.Testing of earth mixtures with other natural materials showed that it can get even a...

During construction, especially of tunnels, very often there is a need to change the tender technical documents, i.e. the documents upon which the construction permit is obtained and the tender is announced. The main reason for the change of documentation is, above all, unsuficient geotechnical investigations due to which technical solutions and ca...

The state of stress around cavities of the revolving ellipsoidal shape (prolate or oblate) in the extreme cases of their degeneration is a very complex problem. Namely, the shape of cavities is defined by an appropriate curvilinear coordinate system, which contains hyperbolic and trigonometric functions. In this paper, the treatment of revolving el...
