Impact Of Fly Ash On Concrete Production Cost, Lulëzim Bytyçi, Fisnik Kadiu, Musa Stavilevi
UBT International Conference
In this paper we have analyzed the Ash deriving from the residue of burnt coal in Kosovo Power Plants, especially in Power Plant "Kosova B". Given the large amount of Ash deriving from the combustion of coal and which is left as residue (redundancy), it was considered as necessary to carry out a study about the impact of Fly Ash in the reduction of Concrete production cost, but always having in mind to preserve the quality of concrete. The study is undertaken in accordance with the requirements of European standards. European Standard SK EN 206-1, EN 450-1 and EN 450-2. …

Seismic Hazard Assessment In Banja Hpp Project Area And The Urban Surroundings, Megi Rusi
UBT International Conference
The Banjë Hydropower project area, located some 100 km south of Tirana, includes the middle reaches of Devoll Valley close to the village of Banjë (Elbasan district). HPP “Banja” is the lowermost stage of that will be constructed in Devoll river and it is a middle-head scheme with an annual storage capacity for peaking energy production. Closely related to the complicated tectonic pattern of the Dinarides-Albanides-Hellenides mountain range, Albania is one of the most tectonically active countries in Europe. For this purpose an assessment of the seismicity of the project area in general and the dam locations in particular has …

We can see, for example, nearly half of the city in Prishtina has faced wild development or re-development. This has happened as a result of individual construction projects which were undertook without municipal building permits because the pressure to develop was much high than capability of local authority to provide this service. Nevertheless even after …
