This paper presents the basic principles of seismic analysis of structures according to the YU81 andEuropean norm EN 1998-1: 2004. The aim of the paper is a critical review of comparative analysisof seismic impacts in the design of building structures according to these standards. EC8 involvesseveral innovative approaches for the design and constru...

The reliability of geotechnical calculations is, as it is generally known, in function of the input parameters quality, both in terms of loads, as well as the physical and mechanical soil properties. In addition to above mentioned, reliability of the results of geotechnical analysis is also influenced by selection of constitutive soil model. This p...

The presence of water in the rock masses, or water filtering, has an important role in theconstruction of engineering facilities (dams, tunnels, ...), as well as in formation of rockslopes, caused by the implementation of various projects. The rock mass, that we find innature (in-situ), is heterogeneous, anisotropic, jointed and is in the natural s...
