Construction creates environment for the use of the latest knowledge and trends in the field of smart and innovative solutions. One of the areas where it is possible and appropriate to use innovative approaches is the area of construction in the preparatory and construction phase. The construction site presents a constantly changing, dynamic place that is used for construction. Its layout is influenced by technological, time, cost, safety, environmental aspects and, last but not least, the surroundings of the cons...

By definition, the monitoring of the in situ behavior of the constructions includes the follow-up and evaluation of their technical and functional state and the interventions on them in order to remedy the behavioral deficiencies found. The knowledge of the causal and conditional laws of appearance and development of the behavioral phenomena of the constructions allowed and allows the definition of some behavioral properties. These properties can be defined qualitatively, by attributes, or quantitatively, by sizes...

The article deals with the issue of accidents associated with hazardous substances, their prevention. Modeling of these accidents was chosen as a form of prevention. The production of dangerous toxic substances is currently growing, especially in the industry. The response to this trend is to introduce safer technological processes and preventive measures. These measures serve to prevent or at least reduce the risk of accidents and thus the escape of dangerous substances. To implement prevention, effective measure...

In recent years, the world has been plagued by a large number of emergencies that have an impact not only on the population, but also on health, property and the environment. One of the basic tasks performed by the public administration is to ensure the safety and protection of the population through various tools. One of the tools is, for example, safety planning. With the help of safety plans, it is possible to achieve the application of appropriate measures that help deal with emergencies or crisis situations a...

A computer hydrogeomechanical 3D model of a fragment of a soil tailing dam has been developed. The model allows investigating both geo mechanical and filtration processes and also their collateral influence on a condition of soils of the bulk protecting dam and the alluvial beach of the tailing. The following options of development of a hydrogeomechanical condition of a soil dam have been considered: an initial state at the current operation parameters, increase in level of water-saturated mining deposits and the ...

In Romania, the production of coal and lignite depends on the national demand for primary energy resources in the electricity production sector and on the available resources / reserves. Although it still plays an important role in the mix of electricity production and the safety of the National Energy System, especially in the winter, coal-fired electricity production is decreasing even this season. The considerations for which this situation was reached are: the programs for extractive industry reorganization an...

The aim of this article is to create a risk analysis of selected school facilities which can be an auxiliary tool of security solutions against terrorism. Most terrorist attacks are focused on so-called soft targets - crowded places, which are not secure against violent attacks. Furthermore, attacks on school facilities abroad are frequent too. A wellprepared risk analysis is a necessary method to detect weaknesses and strengths of the security of a soft target. The university in Zlin in the Czech Republic was cho...
