AB  - The chemical compositions of refractory materials, such as high-alumina concrete, bricks, and putty, were analyzed using an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDXRF). An improved methodology for investigating the effect of particle size on the outcomes of EDXRF chemical analysis is presented. Eight independent refractory samples (refractory concrete, brick, and putty) were pulverized utilizing seven milling times (30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, and 360 s) and compared to non-pulverized samples. Thus, sixty-four refractory samples were obtained and analyzed using EDXRF. The method for measuring the fundamental EDXRF characteristics was then tested with ten certified reference materials. The acquired data were compared using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Univariate and multivariate statistics are used to evaluate EDXRF data. The particle size of the tested samples affected the z-scores of SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, TiO2, CaO, MgO, Na2O, K2O, and P2O5 concentration measurements. Grinding times for refractory concrete, brick, and putty samples were determined in order to validate the robustness of the EDXRF technique and provide reliable chemical analyses. The ideal milling times for the samples studied ranged from 180 to 360 s, depending on the type of refractory material.

AB  - Finding a solution to the problem of the large buildup of coal ashes is a vital necessity. Although the use of coal
ashes in fired clay bricks has been thoroughly investigated, there is insuffcient information on their industrial
utilization and researchers do not agree on whether or not this addition improves the quality of the fnal
products. Therefore, a database has gathered 20 years of research containing key factors related to the quality of
the bricks (i.e., chemical composition, fring temperature, soaking time, open porosity, water absorption and
compressive strength). Then, random forest regression and artifcial neural networks (ANN) modeling were used
to separately predict the parameters concerning the quality of the fnal products. The overall conclusions were
that the compressive strengths were the highest when using fly ashes and that class F ashes were highly suitable
to be used in the brick industry as a replacement material for brick clay. In addition, the ANN models showed
higher coeffcients of determination and an overall better fit to the experimental data. By changing the chemical
makeup of the initial materials and their proportions, the particle size of the ashes, the firing temperature and
soaking time, as well as the size of a product, the created models can be used to estimate the quality of the brick
containing coal ash. That is crucial because the inconsistent chemical composition of ash is generally the main
obstacle to its utilization. The local sensitivity analysis revealed the highest influence of the content of the alkali
oxides in the initial clay on the fired clay bricks due to their fluxing effect. In the case of ash-clay bricks, the
decisive factors were the type of furnace used, the ashes’ class, the Na2O content in raw clay, and the K2O
introduced with the ash. The F class ashes containing about 2–3% of K2O and <5% of CaO gave the highest
compressive strength in bricks fred at 1000–1100 ◦C.
Additional analyzes were made for 50% pond ash and 50% clay bricks to test the best-suited model and fill in
the knowledge gap. The results obtained in this study are important for supporting the decision in the selection of
materials and process parameter values that will increase the quality of the ash-clay-fired bricks.

AB  - Natural zeolite and bentonite were used as mineral addi-tions to create cement-based building materials that are safe for the environment. This research focuses on the adsorptive qualities of these two clay raw materials, i.e., their propen-sity to immobilize heavy metal ions like Cd2+. The acquired results were examined using kinetic models of pseudo-first and pseudo-second order. The isotherms of Langmuir and Freundlich were examined. Zeolite and bentonite had differ-ent adsorption affinities for Cd2+ cations. Seven cement binders with various mineral additions (fly ash, zeolite, bentonite) underwent a leaching test. The adsorption and hydration mechanisms that immobilized heavy metals within cementitious composites caused leachates obtained on cement samples with the addition of fly ash and clay (either zeolite or bentonite) to contain lower concentrations of Cd2+ ions than leachates obtained on cement samples with fly ash alone.

AB  - During the implementation of procedures for designing building barriers for protection against gamma and X radiation, the unavoidable question of choosing construction materials with appropriate mechanical and radiation characteristics for protective barriers arises. Based on engineering practice, it is necessary to compare different types of concrete used for the construction of facilities where there are sources of gamma and X radiation, such as in cases where radiation sources appear in medical facilities with linear accelerators, cyclotron installations for accelerating nuclear particles, in the environment of nuclear reactors, in radioactive waste storages, or in radiation sterilization unit s. In the cost-benefit analysis, several criteria are used to evaluate the characteristics of the concrete, so that in addition to the mechanical characteristics, the radiation characteristics of the construction material are also considered. One of the most important characteristics of concrete for radiation protection is its total mass attenuation coefficient. In this paper, computer code XCOM was used for the calculation of the total mass attenuation coefficients in energy range from 0.01MeV to 100 MeV for three types of concrete: ordinary concrete, concrete with barite and concrete with limonite and steel. Based on the comparison of calculation results, it was concluded that concrete with limonite and steel has greater protective power than other two concrete types for the gamma and X radiation energy less than 30 keV. The second important conclusion is that the concrete with barite has greater protective power than other two concrete types in the range of photon energy from 30 keV to 300 keV, and for photon energy greater than 6 MeV. A detailed analysis of the calculation results found that in the energy range of 400 keV to 6 MeV values for the total mass attenuation coefficients are approximately the same for three different types of concrete.

Based on engineering practice, it is necessary to compare different types of concrete used for the construction of buildings in which there are sources of gamma and X radiation, as in cases where radiation sources appear in medical institutions with linear accelerators, cyclotron installations for the acceleration of nuclear particles, in the environment of nuclear reactors, in radioactive waste warehouses or in radiation sterilization units. In the analysis of costs and benefits, several criteria are used to evaluate the characteristics of concrete, so that, in addition to the mechanical ones, the radiation characteristics of the building material are also taken into account. One of the most important characteristics of radiation shielding concrete is its overall mass attenuation coefficient. In this paper, the XCOM computer code was used to calculate the total mass attenuation coefficients in the energy range from 0.01 MeV to 100 MeV for three types of concrete: ultrahight properties concrete (UHPC), concrete with barite and concrete with magnetite and steel. Based on the comparison of the calculation results, it was concluded that concrete with magnetite and steel has a greater protective power than the other two types of concrete for gamma and X radiation energy lower than 30 keV.

AB  - During the last few decades, the requirements for modern machine elements in terms of size
reduction, increasing the energy efficiency, and a higher load capacity of standard and non-standard
gears have been very prevalent issues. Within these demands, the main goals are the optimization
of the gears’ tooth profiles, as well as the investigation of new tooth profile designs. The presented
design idea is based on the optimal solutions inspired by nature. Special attention is paid to the new
design of the tooth root zones of spur gears in order to decrease the stress concentration values and
increase the tooth root fatigue resistance. The finite element method is used for stress and strain
state calculations, and the particular gear pair is modeled and optimized for these purposes. For
tooth root strength analysis, the estimations are based on the theory of critical distances and the
stress gradients obtained through finite element analysis. The obtained stress gradients have shown
important improvements in the stress distribution in the transition zone optimized by biomimetics.
An analysis of the material variation influence is also performed. Based on the investigations of a
particular gear pair, a significant stress reduction of about 7% for steel gears and about 10.3% for cast iron gears is obtained for tooth roots optimized by bio-inspired design.

AB  - Composite materials have been extensively employed in the aviation industry in recent years. The application of new materials enables significant weight savings with improved mechanical characteristics. This is also very important in the field of development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). In the design phases, it is necessary to perceive all the aspects that are important for the structure and consider different load cases. The relationship between weight and strength proved to be important. This means that detailed strength analyses of each structural part are indispensable. In particular, primary load-bearing structures must sustain all types of loads without fail. Failure of the structure can affect the motion of the UAV during the mission or lead to a crash and significant losses. This paper presents the research performed on the failure analysis of a composite beam of a novel UAV. During the testing phase, under an unpredictable load condition followed by a crash landing, failure of the structure occurred on a beam element. The study was performed to determine the cause of the failure of certain layers of the composite laminate, because the previous calculation showed that it met the criteria for which it was dimensioned. Based on the telemetry data and the impact load that was registered, a complementary numerical and experimental analyses were performed to determine what happened and why. Composite test specimens were extracted from the beam and subjected to standard tensile tests, in order to determine the actual mechanical characteristics of the layered material. The paper presents in detail the comparison of the results as well as the methodology used in this research.

AB  - The experimental study included the design and production of ultra-high-performance steel fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). The physical and mechanical properties of UHPFRC were investigated in a laboratory setting. To investigate the properties of UHPFR concrete, three types of concrete and over 70 samples were used. Following that, samples were created to test the anchors' load-bearing performance. Six concrete slabs with a total of 108 pre-installed anchor samples and six concrete slabs with 108 post-installed chemical anchor samples were created. The analysis of the test findings comprised all individual results as well as the definition of the relationship between the anchor's tensile load capacity and other parameters. To accurately determine the individual influence of the investigated factors as well as their combined impact, a factorial experiment, and artificial neural networks were used in addition to normal statistical numerical studies. It was determined that both approaches offer advantages. The results obtained show matches in certain parts. Due to the way data is processed in different ways, there are also significant differences between them.

As a result, the required high paste content is obtained while the cement content is strictly limited. The coal combustion byproduct (fly ash) is one of the most efficient SCC fillers because it extends the lifecycle of SCC by improving its microstructural properties, strength, and durability. In this study, the amounts of fly ash in SCC compositions varied. The changes in physical and mechanical characteristics of fresh SCC samples related to variations in the water/binder ratio were monitored.

This study reveals a high interest in using novel materials but also a desire to be
more informed on the details and their potential benefits. The results present a first of-

AB  - Over the past few decades, the fired clay brick industry has searched for industrial wastes to substitute raw clay deposits and lessen their impact on the environment. Despite several investigations showing positive results, industrial applicability is still scarce, mainly due to differences between industrial and laboratory procedures and the usage of certain wastes that already have added value in other circular economy chains. In addition, the assessment of such proposals commonly misses the environmental impact issue which is merely assumed to be positive. For these reasons this study, for the first time, has assessed together technological properties and the environmental impact of bricks made by strictly following industrial procedures. Hence, biomass bottom ash (BBA) was added at 9 replacement ratios, ranging from 2.5 to wt. 20.0% for making extruded bricks subjected to industrial drying and firing curves. Physical, thermal and mechanical properties of fired products were properly assessed and compared with the requirements set forth by Chilean standards. In addition, a life cycle impact assessment was developed to compare the ecological footprint among series. Although mechanical and water-proof requirements may limit the replacement ratio for exposed bricks, the feasibility of using BBA at industrial scale has been successfully demonstrated. Regarding the environmental impact, the raw clay may be replaced without adversely causing toxicity levels to exceed mandatory limits. However, this study demonstrated that the incorporation of BBA increases CO2 emissions due to the decomposition of contained carbonates during the firing process which compromise the results in terms of global warming potential and water consumption which highly impact on human health and ecosystems quality.

abstract = "Over the past few decades, the fired clay brick industry has searched for industrial wastes to substitute raw clay deposits and lessen their impact on the environment. Despite several investigations showing positive results, industrial applicability is still scarce, mainly due to differences between industrial and laboratory procedures and the usage of certain wastes that already have added value in other circular economy chains. In addition, the assessment of such proposals commonly misses the environmental impact issue which is merely assumed to be positive. For these reasons this study, for the first time, has assessed together technological properties and the environmental impact of bricks made by strictly following industrial procedures. Hence, biomass bottom ash (BBA) was added at 9 replacement ratios, ranging from 2.5 to wt. 20.0% for making extruded bricks subjected to industrial drying and firing curves. Physical, thermal and mechanical properties of fired products were properly assessed and compared with the requirements set forth by Chilean standards. In addition, a life cycle impact assessment was developed to compare the ecological footprint among series. Although mechanical and water-proof requirements may limit the replacement ratio for exposed bricks, the feasibility of using BBA at industrial scale has been successfully demonstrated. Regarding the environmental impact, the raw clay may be replaced without adversely causing toxicity levels to exceed mandatory limits. However, this study demonstrated that the incorporation of BBA increases CO2 emissions due to the decomposition of contained carbonates during the firing process which compromise the results in terms of global warming potential and water consumption which highly impact on human health and ecosystems quality.",

AB  - The present study analyses the usage possibility of the 7
raw kaolinitic clays from Serbia. The characterization of
raw materials is done by using instrumental techniques to
determine chemical and mineralogical compositions, particle
size distribution and behavior during firing (changes in
mass, temperature of the system and dimensions). Additionally,
refractoriness is determined for each of the materials.
The samples are shaped by the extrusion process and fired
in a 1000-1250 °C range. The ceramic and technological
characteristics of the fired samples are determined, and
micromorphology is recorded. It is concluded that most of
the tested clays can be used to produce cream-colored
extruded ceramic tiles with water absorption between 0.20
and 5.28 % by firing at 1250 °C. The majority of the samples
can be used as ceramic tiles for flooring purposes after
firing at 1200 °C. Additionally, all samples are found suitable
for special purpose roofing tiles production after firing
at 1100 °C.

AB  - Phyllosilicate mineral pyrophyllite is predominantly used in the ceramic industry because it exhibits high refractoriness. Due to its thermal transformation into mullite, pyrophyllite is stable at elevated temperatures, making it a suitable mineral additive for refractory non-shaped materials and various ceramic shaped products. In this study, pyrophyllite is employed as 50 % clay replacement in the ceramics and up to 30 % cement replacement in mortars. Physico-mechanical properties were investigated. The firing shrinkage in the ceramics treated at 1200°C was reduced by pyrophyllite addition. Pyrophyllite acted as additional pozzolana during cement hydration. Within the microstructure, it formed micro-reinforcement in the shape of crystalline folia, which improves the mechanical properties of ordinary Portland cement, high aluminate cement, and blended cement mortars. The investigation proved the efficiency and suitability of pyrophyllite employed as a substitution for clay in ceramics and a cement replacement in mortars.

AB  - The main idea of the present study was to investigate the impact of the ongoing world
crisis on the socio-economic issues in Serbia concerning building materials usage and purchase. This research fills in the gaps in the literature and contributes to the comprehension of how the crisis has affected salaries, market pricing, and materials consumption in the building sector. The data are gathered through a questionnaire and analyzed using a statistical methodology (frequencies, descriptive statistics, and Spearman’s correlations). Most of the former studies investigated the surveys conducted on specialists in the field, while this study analyzed the perspectives of random people. Socio-demographic issues are analyzed along with materials consumption before and after the crisis. A special emphasis is given to ecological awareness and novel materials usage. Additionally, it captures a broad shift in the economy and ecological consciousness in a developing country. The majority of respondents are open to using novel building materials and products, but their choice would largely be influenced by cost, the amount of effort involved, and their understanding of the advantages. Statistical approaches revealed that the crisis has a considerable impact on the markets for construction and building supplies, altering consumers’ decisions when purchasing.
This contribution lays the groundwork for developing countries in the modern world to improve
sustainability and adopt circular thinking. Professionals in Serbia need to have a more eco-aware
mindset and enhance how they provide pertinent information to potential clients. This study is
limited by the number of respondents. For future mathematical modeling and forecasting, more
answerers are needed.

AB  - The paper shows the comparative analysis of behavior and bearing capacity of piles examined using the Dynamic Load Test (DLT) according to Static Load Test (SLT) results. The pile testing methodology is based on the existing ASTM standards and experiences of the authors of the paper. The pile tests were carried out using counterweights, reactive system, dynamic testing equipment, hardware and software for SLT and DLT. The data obtained by testing were statis-tically processed, and also a regression analysis of the linear function was conducted, resulting in the creation of the model for the change of mobilized static bearing capacity from DLT according to SLT. In addition, a procedure for correcting the solution of mobilized static bearing capacity from DLT according to SLT, is made by observing provisions of standard EN 1997-1:2004, so the average deviation of solutions from DLT according to SLT is reduced. Apart from that, through iterations, the value of correlation factor ξ5 is determined, taking into consideration solutions presented by SLT and DLT of piles of the real structures.

AB  - The application of dispersive soil can result in various types of damage, and even the collapse of embanked build-ings if it is not identified. Dispersive soils cannot be uniquely identified by visual identification in the field, or by usual standard methods used for soil identification in the geo-mechanical laboratory. The paper presents the results of laboratory geomechanical tests aimed at identifying and classifying erodible dispersive fine-grained soil. The tests were carried out using the crumb test, the double hydrometer test (SCS), and the pinhole test on samples: sandy clay embankment dams of ‘Rovni’, loess from different locations (Zemun, Novi Beograd, Titel, Kelebija, Srbobran, Slanka-men, Ruma, Mali Iđoš) and kaolinite sandy clay deposits Grabež - Aranđelovac. The possibility of improving disper-sive soil by adding fly ash was also analyzed. Pinhole tests on dispersive soil samples with the addition of 10, 30 and 50 % ash showed that there was a decrease in dispersivity of natural soil for one to two dispersion classes.

AB  - The aim of this paper is to present the influence of differ-ent temperatures on the impact toughness of welded joint of high strength low-alloy steel. The results of impact tests for all three constituents of the manual arc welded joint of NN-70 steel at temperatures range from 20 °C to -100 °C are presented. It has been shown that impact tests of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels at room and lower tem-peratures indicate that temperature significantly affects the toughness of high-strength low-alloy steels in the context that lowering the test temperature leads to creation of brittle fracture in the form of a successive decrease in total impact energy. This indicator is very important in the further design and exploitation of welded steel structures.

AB  - The machine learning technique for prediction and optimization of building material performances became an essential feature in the contemporary civil engineering. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) prognosis of mortar behavior was conducted in this study. The model appraised the design and characteristics of seventeen either building or high-temperature mortars. Seven different cement types were employed. Seventeen mineral additives of primary and secondary origin were embedded in the mortar mixtures. Cluster Analysis and Principal Component Analysis designated groups of similar mortars assigning them a specific purpose based on monitored characteristics. ANN foresaw the quality of designed mortars. The impact of implemented raw materials on the mortar quality was assessed and evaluated. ANN outputs highlighted the high suitability level of anticipation, i.e., 0.999 during the training period, which is regarded appropriate enough to correctly predict the observed outputs in a wide range of processing parameters. Due to the high predictive accuracy, ANN can replace or be used in combination with standard destructive tests thereby saving the construction industry time, resources, and capital. Good performances of altered cement mortars are positive sign for widening of economical mineral additives application in building materials and making progress towards achieved carbon neutrality by reducing its emission.
