This paper is a continuation of the research on the influence of different modeling of the subgrade reaction coefficient on the selected static system. This paper analyzes the behavior of a two-story reinforced concrete frame for different foundation dimensions and different values of the subgrade reaction coefficient. It presents an overview of values of these coefficients, which represent the stiffness of Winkler springs with respect to the specific geometry of shallow foundations. The values are different depending on the author, and the average value was used as relevant for comparison. Results of the numerical analysis for an individual reinforced concrete two-story frame were obtained using the SE_Calc and Tower 8 programs. After obtaining the results for each individual frame, they were combined and analyzed [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a brief overview of fractals and some possible applications of fractal geometry in architecture and civil engineering. The interest in this mathematical discipline has been steadily growing since the end of the 20th century, due to the fascinating beauty of fractals as well as the generally accepted perception that many shapes in nature, if not all, are irregular and rugged, or chaotic (nature is fractal). Fractal geometry, in contrast to Euclidean geometry, offers considerably better methods for describing natural objects, and thereby for achieving harmony with nature, or harmony between clear precision and chaotic imperfection.

Due to its specificity, the reconstruction of the stone-built masonry facilities in Herzegovina was made by a smaller number of construction companies. The reason for this is primarily reflected in the small number of skilled labour and the availability of specific tools. One of the companies that has been particularly prominent in this field is the company DZG "Građevinar Fajić" d.o.o. headquartered in Mostar, and which is evidenced by numerous objects made by them. Due to the limited number of pages in this paper, only some examples of traditional tools used by this company for stone processing will be mentioned in order to encourage other authors to investigate this phenomena in the area of Herzegovina. Finally, an example of a recently constructed simplest walled stone building is cited. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In numerical modeling of structures, it is necessary to model the soil on which the structures rest. This soil simulation is performed through the Winkler springs model. In the simplest case of shallow foundations, this is done through the coefficient of soil reaction. Since a large number of authors have dealt with this topic, for the needs of a more reliable modeling, the SE_Calc software solution has been developed. The subgrade reaction is calculated on the templates of several authors in order to graphically display their relationships. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper gives a review regarding the problem solving of the graph partitioning problem, for some graph G = (V, E). Since this is a problem belonging to the NP-Hard class, strategies from heuristic domain were chosen for solving such a problem. For this purpose, a software module was created in the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 software package. The implemented module programmatically (heuristics) will find the sub-optimal solutions, but also finding of the correct optimum for MBCP problem of user's graph in reasonable time is not rare.

This paper provides an analysis of settlement of foundation plates using finite difference method, and is designed in the aim to prove how this method, implemented in our Matlab program code, will give results similar to those obtained with the finite element method, and to show that plate’ settlements are less dependent on the change of modulus of soil reaction.

In this article we will give a small introduction to the discrete mathematics and its application in network analysis. Because of limitations regarding this article (extended summary) and because we are aware that the scientific study of networks, such as computer networks, biological networks, and social networks, is an interdisciplinary field that combines ideas from mathematics, physics, biology, computer science, the social sciences, and many other areas, we will try to describe some basic types of networks studied by present-day science as well as some techniques used to determine their structure.
