With ambitious targets set by the EU for the reduction of emissions from the energy sector by 2030, there is a need to design and develop more building projects using renewable energy sources. Even though in Europe, heating and cooling share from renewable resources is increasing, and in 2021, the total share in this sector in Croatia was at 38%, the share of heat production by heat pumps is ra…
Ensuring the reliability of pipe pile designs under earthquake loading necessitates an accurate determination of lateral displacement and bending moment, typically achieved through complex numerical modeling to address the intricacies of soil-pile interaction. Despite recent advancements in machine learning techniques, there is a persistent need to establish data-driven models that can predict …
Several industrial and commercial bulk material management applications rely on accurate, current stockpile volume estimation. Proximal imaging and LiDAR sensing modalities can be used to derive stockpile volume estimates in outdoor and indoor storage facilities. Among available imaging and LiDAR sensing modalities, the latter is more advantageous for indoor storage facilities due to its abilit…
