    Hundreds of masonry churches have been constructed in Albania during hundreds of years. The majority of them exist at their original location; a significant part of them are not in use any more. In this context, Roman ...
  • Structural assessment of historical buildings: a case study of five Ottoman Mosques in Albania 
    Mustafaraj, Enea (2nd International Balkans Conferance on Challenges of Civil Engineering, 2013-05-23)
    A large portion of Albanian cultural heritage buildings is made of masonry. Many of them due to the decay and degradation of building material, aggressive environmental conditions, frequent seismic activity and various ...
  • Structural Reliability and the Partial Factors for Materials 
    Isufi, Brisid; Baballëku, Markel (International Balkans Conferance on Challenges of Civil Engineering, 2013-05-23)
    Structural Eurocodes introduce an important concept, the “structural reliability”. The Albanian code “KTP – Kushtet Teknike të Projektimit”, does not define this term. From this, several difficulties might arise, ranging ...
  • The structural tree: new experimentation with reinforced stone 
    Fallacara, Giuseppe; Bagnéris, Marine; Calabria, Claudia (International Balkans Conferance on Challenges of Civil Engineering, 2013-05-23)
    Starting from the reinterpretation of the natural forms that recurs in the consolidated shapes of historical buildings, the research proposes the umbrella vault as isolated selfsupporting cover. The research outcome, ...
  • Study on the utilization of waters of ‘Deçani Bistrica’ river basin 
    Islamaj, Musa; Daka, Sylejman; Fazliu, Sali (2nd International Balkans Conferance on Challenges of Civil Engineering, 2013-05-23)
    The catchment in Republic of Kosova can be divided in basins of the rivers as following: Basin of Drini i Bardhë in village Radavc, Peja municipality, basin of river Ibër, Mitrovica municipality, basin of river Morava e ...
  • Suspended Steel Roof of the Archeological Site of the School of Aristotle

    The structural design of the cable-suspended steel roof covering the archaeological site of the School of Aristotle in Athens, Greece is presented. The preliminary architectural proposal, which was awarded first prize ...
  • Topology optimization of double-curved double-layer grids 
    Sonmez, Mustafa; Sevim, Ozer; Kılıc, Mete (International Balkans Conferance on Challenges of Civil Engineering, 2013-05-23)
    A topology optimization procedure for double layer grids which have square-on-square configuration and top and/or bottom layers are curved in one or two directions is presented. The number of nodes is treated as design ...
  • Turkey’s need for manual and general specifications for flood hazard mapping studies 
    Haltaş, İsmail (2nd International Balkans Conferance on Challenges of Civil Engineering, 2013-05-23)
    Flooding is a serious natural disaster in Turkey similar to rest of the world causing significant economical damage and loss of lives every year. Statistical analyses show that in Turkey, after the earthquake, flooding ...
  • Urban water demand forecasting based on climatic change scenarios 
    Birge, Özkan; Yurdusev, Mehmet Ali; Turan, Mustafa Erkan (2nd International Balkans Conferance on Challenges of Civil Engineering, 2013-05-23)
    Water resources projects, are designed to serve for many years to meet water needs. Therefore, the future water demand forecasting is of great importance for planning and management of water resources. In this study, a ...
  • A User- Oriented Implementation of Risk Breakdown Structure in Construction Risk Management 
    KEÇI, Julinda (International Balkans Conferance on Challenges of Civil Engineering, 2013-05-23)
    Construction industry is a complex, dynamic and risky industry that often suffers from poor performance leading in increased cost and time, and in decreased quality. In these conditions the dynamic identification and ...
  • Value and development of the relaxation, with new test’s mode - under the influence of fatigue 
    Cipi, Maksim (International Balkans Conferance on Challenges of Civil Engineering, 2013-05-23)
    In the prestressed structures and elements, of important influence are the steel losses -of different nature, course, performance and value- during the time or as final value. One of these losses is from the relaxation ...
  • Velocity distribution in natural streams 
    Ardıçlıoğlu, Mehmet; Genç, Onur; Özdin, Serkan; Vapur, Mücella (2nd International Balkans Conferance on Challenges of Civil Engineering, 2013-05-23)
    Velocity profiles were investigated for a natural stream by entropy theory. Flow was measured by Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) at different times and periods during seven site visits on the Sarımsaklı stream, which ...
  • Virtual testing against experiment for post-buckling behaviour of coldformed steel columns
