Restoration Of Building Heritage Versus Innovation, Ilirjana Mejzini, Gjejlane Hoxha
UBT International Conference
The continuous developments in science and technology are rapidly influencing many aspects of daily life. The benefits of innovation not only affect the living environment and way of life; they also hugely influence our way of thinking and the general perception of our surroundings. On the other hand, the preservation of cultural heritage is a moral responsibility through which the work and legacy of our ancestors is carried onto younger generations. Heritage manifested through buildings, which can be considered as a vivid trace of the past, carries with it historical and scientific significance and gives evidence of the level of …

On Form And Logic Of Structures, Feti Selmani
UBT International Conference
In Civil Engineering, every structure harbours some degree of logic within it. Sometimes, it is easy to see it, while sometimes it lies somehow hidden and only a well informed eye can take hold of it. The Natural phenomena are dual in their manifestation. So are Tension and Compression, which represents the basic “genomes” of this interaction and are present within each structure from the simplest to the most complicated one. A structural form represents a physical manifestation of this invisible interplay, which, when in consonance with the natural flow of forces results not only in an economic but in …

Sls Design Of Frp Reinforced Concrete Beams Based On Different Calculation Of Effective Moment Of Inertia, Enio Deneko, Anjeza Gjini
UBT International Conference
In this paper, reference is made to the key features of ACI, EC2 and other models, regarding SLS calculations of FRP reinforcement concrete and the comparison with steel reinforcement concrete formulas, especially focusing on deflection. Mechanical characteristics of FRP materials, such as lower elastic modulus, lower ratio between Young’s modulus and the tensile strength, lower bond strength of FRP bars and concrete, compared to steel reinforcement, make that SLS results determine the design of FRP reinforced concrete, based on the serviceability requirements. Different parameters influences affect the stresses in materials, maximum crack width and the allowed deflections. In this study …

Steering Spatial Development In The Vienna Agglomeration, Thomas Dillinger
UBT International Conference
After the falling down of the “iron curtain” Vienna starts to grow again. It is now a metropolitan area with about 2.6 Mio. inhabitants. Vienna is surrounded by Lower Austria, which is one of the nine countries (Bundesländer) of Austria. Spatial Planning is based on the Austrian Constitution a complex matter. The Federal State, the Countries and the Municipalities have competences in Spatial Planning. Thus, in the agglomeration we are confronted with different spatial planning legislation, instruments and institution.In this situation basically three instruments have been developed to steer spatial development in the Vienna agglomeration: Lower Austria has passed two …

A big research effort has been made on the prediction of earthquakes in the last decades, and in fact the exploration of the new techniques aiming to foresee the occurrence of seismic events is in a continuous progress. Several analytical tools have been developed around the world in order to estimate, with different degrees of accuracy, the vulnerability of buildings and the probable loss of lives and economic resources, due to the occurrence of an earthquake. Those tools are intended to be used by government agencies, and even by insurance companies, as a mean for planning of emergency preparedness procedures …

Ubt Inventory Of Kosovo’S Architectural Heritage, Verona Ymeri Hoxha
UBT International Conference
Architectural Heritage being one of the most prominent fragment of Kosovo’s heritage consists of different types of buildings, amongst which apart from those deriving from ottoman era there are individual buildings of high importance which prevail as a form of rebellion to Ottoman intrusion and the desire to intertwine with European architecture. These structures appear in the 19th and 20th century and are characterized with different elements which symbolize a glimpse of escape through reflection of European architecture in Kosovo. This heritage has been a subject of destruction over the centuries, with little or small effort put towards its preservation. …

Documentation And Inventory Of Architectural Heritage.The European Model Including The Role Of Universities Within, Caroline Jaeger Klein
UBT International Conference
Preserving its architectural heritage has a long tradition in the European history. For the famous Renaissance and Baroque architects especially in Italy it was considered to be integrated part of their “art”. Hence, it were art historians to start systematic documentation of the cultural heritage around 1900. For Central Europe Georg Dehio in Strasbourg and Alois Riegl and Max Dvořák in Vienna were most influential. Their legacy are printed inventory handbooks and art-topographies, which documented the built heritage and gave public access to heritage information. This is the inevitable base for protection and care of monuments as well as for …

A Synthesis Of Architectural Form For Three Different Structural Systems, Hektor Cullufi, Altin Bidaj, Ervin Paci, Irakli Premti, Drilona Disha
UBT International Conference
Architectural form is often used but less frequently defined. Architectural form is an inclusive term that refers primarily to a building’s external outline or shape, and to a lesser degree references its internal organization and unifying principles. Shape encompasses various visual and relational properties; namely size, color and texture, position, orientation and visual inertia. Form is therefore generally and primarily understood as the shape or three dimensional massing, but also encompasses additional architectural aspects including structural configuration and form, in so far as they may organize and unify an architectural design.

The expansion of Islam did multiply the number of cities to the edge of the desert, transforming the nomadic tribes in urban populations. For a good Muslim cannot be a better practice of the religion if not in the city, in the "Friday Mosque" for common prayers. Life in the city is considered a condition of moral perfection and been fixed in one place, giving up the nomadic life. The urban culture in Islam is formed and developed through a series of contributions, derived from the traditions of construction and urban structures of the pre-Islamic city. Arabia and the countries …

Non-Structural Program To Limit E. Coli Within Antelope Creek Lincoln, Nebraska, Jeffrey Polkowski
Community and Regional Planning Program: Professional Projects
Beginning in 2008, The City of Lincoln, Nebraska set forth efforts to reduce pollutant loads within Antelope Creek below U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) criteria with the goal of eventually having segments of the stream removed from the Clean Water Act 303(d) list of impaired waters. Early efforts focus on channel improvements made as part of the Antelope Valley Project to increase the flood carrying capacity of the Creek. However, additional funding is being provided through an intergovernmental agreement between the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality and the City of Lincoln (Grant Number: 56-1283) to allow the City of Lincoln’s …
