MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE WITH RECYCLED EPS AND POLYPROPYLENE FIBERS
Lightweight concrete is increasingly utilized in sustainable construction due to its reduced weight and improved thermal performance. However, replacing conventional aggregates with alternative lightweight materials may result in a reduction in concrete strength. To address this issue, fiber reinforcement has been introduced to enhance the concrete...

THE EFFECT OF CHLORIDE IONS ON THE CORROSION CHARACTERISTICS OF Cu-Al-Zn BIOALLOY
The Cu-Al-Zn alloy is used as a functional material in industry, and also as a biomaterial. These alloys have excellent electrical properties, good thermal conductivity, and can also be used for biomedical purposes.The basic characteristic of alloys that remember their shape is their independent return to some of their remembered shape when the tem...

DAMAGES INVOLVING PLASTIC DEFORMATION OF STRUCTURES RELATED TO MAINTENANCE COST REDUCTION
This paper presents some aspects of the correlation between maintenance cost reduction and accidents—specifically, damages due to plastic deformation in steel constructions at production companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the theoretical part, a tension testing diagram for typical structural steels (I, U, T, etc.) is used to explain the ...

EFFECT OF HEAT TREATMENT ON THE MECHANICAL AND STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF X155CrVMo12-1 STEEL
This paper investigates the effects of oil quenching and tempering at various temperatures on the mechanical and structural properties of X155CrVMo12-1 tool steel. The steel specimens were austenitized at 1030 °C for half an hour, followed by quenching and tempering at different temperatures. Mechanical properties were assessed by measuring the...

TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE WASTEWATER TREATMENT: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF HYBRID ELECTROCOAGULATION PROCESSES WITH ZEOLITE, ULTRASOUND, AND MAGNET
This study evaluates three hybrid electrocoagulation (EC) processes with aluminium electrodes: EC-zeolite process (EC+Z), EC-zeolite-ultrasound-assisted process (EC+Z+US), and EC-zeolite-magnet-assisted process (EC+Z+MAG) for compost wastewater treatment with large content of organic matter. The focus was on evaluating the effects of these processe...
