TL;DR: The identification of possible modes of bridge failure caused by scouring that depend on soil, structure, and river hydraulic properties are discussed and a simulation of the redistribution of traffic flows is described for several possible scenarios.
Abstract: To improve the allocation of funds for the maintenance and risk mitigation of transportation infrastructure, there is a dire need for a simplified, yet sufficiently accurate, methodology to estimate bridge vulnerability to scour. The methodology should make use of existing data and indicate the basic variables needed to assess the vulnerability of bridges located around a future expressway in southeastern Serbia. The first part of the paper discusses the identification of possible modes of bridge failure caused by scouring that depend on soil, structure, and river hydraulic properties. The degradation of soil parameters is assumed to be the main cause of bridge failure. The capacity of a bridge to withstand a certain amount of structural damage governs the direct and indirect costs attributable to bridge failure; the subsequent work zones related to rehabilitation reduce the performance of the whole network. In the second part of the paper, a simulation of the redistribution of traffic flows is described ...

TL;DR: In this paper, caracteristics of energy consumption in industrial sector of Serbia, the methodology and results of energy audits (EA) performed in industrial sites and potentials for energy efficiency (EE) improvements.
Abstract: The paper presents caracteristics of energy consumption in industrial sector of Serbia, the methodology and results of energy audits (EA) performed in industrial sites and potentials for energy efficiency (EE) improvements. The present state of industrial energy in Serbia could be characterized by significant technological out-of-date, low EE and low level of environmental protection. Presented analysis of the results of conducted EAs in selected industrial companies in previous period has shown the significant potentials for EE improvements in Serbian industrial sector (upgrading or replacement of equipment in the industrial energy sources and processes, introduction of energy management, improvement of steam supply and condensate return systems, the waste heat utilization, introduction of EE technology, improvement of EE in electrical equipment, usage of waste materials etc).

TL;DR: In this article, the structural behavior of masonry bridges subject to local pier scour is investigated, and a case study is used to carry out the failure analysis, simulating the evolution of the structural behaviour of a six-span masonry arch bridge with a finite element model, correlated with the local scour profile.
