Determination of Plot Patterns and Their Changes in\ud Slovenian Rural Areas \ud
Full text linkFields, i.e. enclosed areas of arable land, are distinguished according to parcel shape and size, land\ud
fragmentation, land dispersion, and land use. The description of characteristics of a space, including a\ud
field, is unique when expressed in measurable, i.e. quantifiable values (indicators or indices), and this\ud
was the subject dealt with in this doctoral thesis. We designed a set of mutually independent indices\ud
determined either at the level of a unit, a class, or an area. The values of the indices were determined\ud
for the selected 22 fields as irregular blocks, furlongs, continuous strips, and enclosures based on the\ud
2015 data and for selected fields also the data from the Franciscan Cadastre. The analysis of the\ud
obtained index values and statistical data processing showed that field characteristics are well\ud
described by the parcel shape index (IOP), index of land fragmentation (K), index of land dispersion\ud
(SD), and the Simpson’s Diversity Index (SIDI). The low IOP index points to irregularly shaped\ud
parcels as fields in irregular blocks and enclosures. Furlongs and fields in winegrowing areas have a\ud
high IOP, which points to parcels of more regular shapes. Enclosures and fields in winegrowing areas\ud
have high K and SD indices, which points to small land fragmentation and land dispersion. In all other\ud
types of fields, land fragmentation and land dispersion are strong (low K and SD indices). Fields in\ud
winegrowing areas particularly stand out in terms of land use diversity (SIDI index). We also found\ud
that using only one index it is difficult to distinguish between the types of arable land division, while\ud
this is possible if we use more indices. This was confirmed using the hierarchical clustering method to\ud
classify the test fields, based on the statistical values of the indices, into irregular blocks, furlongs,\ud
continuous strips, and enclosures and, as a separate group, fields in winegrowing areas. Notably, due\ud
to the deviation of the indices for the fields in winegrowing areas from other types of arable land\ud
division, we propose that these fields are classified as a separate type of arable land division. The\ud
comparison of indices in two time periods confirmed the practical application of the indices for\ud
identifying the changes in space, which could be reasonably used in continuous monitoring of land\ud
use. The SIDI index points to significant changes in land use in two periods, while the parcel shapes as\ud
well as land fragmentation and dispersion did not change significantly. Even though the indices were\ud
formed to describe field characteristics, they can be also used for describing various spatial\ud
phenomena, as proposed in the final chapters of this thesis
Precipitation drainage system of port of Koper assesment
Full text linkThe first part of the thesis contains information, policies, regulations and instructions, needed for the dimensioning of precipitation drainage. Following that I focus specifically on Port of Koper, the current state of its drainage systems, the analysis of it and I suggest a possible solution to improve the functionality and safety of the drains into which the gathered rainwater flows. \ud
I divided the precipitation drainage into clean drainage systems, which channel the water from roofs directly into the sea or channel, and waste drainage systems, which cover larger paved surfaces and handling areas. Potentially polluted water is routed through overflow structures into retention basins equipped with oil separators, which also allow for the retention of polluted liquids in the case of an extreme occurrence, like an accident involving an oil truck. The catchment areas and the course of the pipelines are defined. The heights of the outflows of the subsystems are defined according to the terrain and location of the pipes. In the case of precipitation drainage the longitudinal profiles of the longest branches are plotted. Retention basins which also function as oil catchers are dimensioned. In the conclusion I give my findings or rather suggest measures to improve the safety of drains in Port of Koper
Aluminium structural elements
Full text linkThis thesis focuses on the structural analysis of aluminium structural members in accordance with the SIST EN 1999-1-1 standard. In the introduction, historical development of aluminium is summarized, as well as the processes of structural aluminium production and manufacture. Predominantly, resistance control checks of aluminium structural members are covered, with special attention to the major contrasts between aluminium and steel structural analyses. Finally, fundamental examples of resistance control are given for aluminium members loaded axially, in bending, and in a combination of compression force and bending moment
BIM system for the quality assurance of the Spinkler systems
Full text linkThe thesis deals with the use of BIM tehnology for the quality assurance of design, installation and maintenance of fire sprinkler systems in buildings which are integral to measures for the protection of human lifes.\ud
BIM solutions for the fire sprinkler systems enable increased productivity in design, improved quality of plans, as well as facilitate and improve communication and the coordination between participants in the construction project. BIM solutions have built-in tools and libraries for more efficient modeling in 3D, some enable the use of model for hydraulic calculations in real time, we can perform clash and collision detection, create schematic representation and show drawings for the piping system, which are very important for the quality assurance for the installation of the fire sprinkler system.\ud
BIM tools also allow to create standardized data models for operation and maintenance which are essential in ensuring the reliability of the fire sprinkler systems throught their entire lifetime. \ud
In this work we present the use of BIM models, level of development of BIM objects, and comparison of modeling features for the fire sprinkler systems. We explore both, generic and specialized BIM tools along with generic and specialized BIM libraries. Finaly, we present a case study of the use of BIM system and implemented COBie data model for use in the operation and maintenance phase
Seismic analysis of a 22 - storey reinforced concrete building
Full text linkThe thesis deals with seismic analysis of the 22-storey reinforced concrete building in Ljubljana. The impact of modelling uncertainties, such as the impact of secondary seismic members, impact of effective span of slabs and the impact of taking into account cracked reinforced concrete elements is examined. Five models of the building were developed and analyzed. The first model, with reinforced concrete cores, columns and slabs, is most realistic. In the second mode, the slabs were replaced with beams to illustrate the impact of the effective span of slab. Third model includes core and columns without beams. We anticipate that the impact of the columns is small and they can be considered as a secondary seismic members. That was checked by a fourth model. However, it is convenient to take them into account in the seismic model, which simplifies to obtain deformations in the columns which are needed for dimensioning of these elements, while their impact on the primary seismic members is insignificant. By the fifth model, we examine the impact of cracked reinforced concrete elements. The results of the seismic analysis were evaluated with global seismic requirements, such as period of vibration and forms of oscillation, story displacements, story shears and with loads. We came to the conclusion that the choice of structural model of a building with strong concrete core and plates on the columns is important. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Models with consideration of secondary seismic elements make it possible to better capture the behaviour of the structure and simplify the dimensioning of secondary elements. Based on the results of the study it was concluded that it is most appropriate to make a model with cores, columns and beams with consideration of the effective span of slab. This gives a sufficiently accurate results, but modelling and design remain simple. It is important to be aware that this affects the course of further design
Control of laser trackers instrumental errors and comparison with tachymetres
Full text linkLaser trackers are very precise measuring systems which measure distance with interferometric or precise electronic absolute method, using electronic optical encoders they measure the spatial direction. The instruments have a built-in mechanism for directing a beam that follows the moving target. Measurements of angles and distances to the target are used to calculate the coordinates of the target in coordinate system of the instrument. This graduation thesis describes the components of the laser tracker, its performance, influences on the accuracy of measurements, determining the accuracy, standards for testing, comparison of laser trackers with tachymetres, the scope and a review of the market
Water management basis for operation and maintenance control of small reservoir
Full text linkIn the master's thesis I deal with the water management foundation for further actions or controlled operation; and to determine content and dynamics of regular maintenance of the water reservoirs. In the thesis, analysis of the problems regarding small reservoirs, with a sample of reservoir Savci, is given from three points of view: spatial placement of the reservoir, determining available volume by analysing as many relevant information as possible and analysing accordance with the Regulation of operating and maintaining. Content of some of the spatial acts was found to be incomplete, so the recommendations and suggestions for improvement of those are given. The analysis of available volume of reservoir Savci shows average quantity of water that is disposable by month. Results of calculation show water shortage in the period from April to October. I suggest analysis of demands of\ud
primary/subordinated uses of water reservoir according to the available volume that would determine a caretaker and an ultimate user, by arranging interpersonal relations between existing users and possibilities of potential uses. The analysis of state of the reservoir Savci and how it functions separately by the elements of reservoir (barrier, weir, basic release with equipment…) gave me a separate view of missing content in the regulation. I suggest replenishment of the Regulation of operating and maintaining with contents of. primary and secondary uses, with descriptions of rights and responsibilities, as well as distribution of expenses of operating and maintaining of a reservoir. If the guidelines and recommendations were followed, it would precisely determine its spatial placement, define influenced area of a reservoir and give the limits within it. Analysis of an avaliable volume, determining a caretaker and defined responsibilities and rights would enable more efficient operating and maintaining of a reservoir with a righteous distribution of expenses, which comes hand in hand with more concern and responsibilities for the existent users and more possibilities for potential users
Concept for a new excange format for Slovenian land cadastre data taking in to acount the guidelines of LandINFRA
Full text linkThis thesis illustrates the principle of modernization of the exchange format of Slovenian land cadastre data, based on the guidelines of Land and Infrastructure Conceptual Model Standard (LandINFRA). I show a concept of a new format of land cadastre data in XML format, as is recommended by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). In the theoretical part I described the problems of current formats for data exchange of Slovenian land cadastre data. I have stated the work methodology and presented used application software. In the empirical part of this thesis I firstly analyzed the current formats, on which I based my XML-format, which does not take into account the OGC guidelines (LandINFRA). I used this as a base for creation of a new exchange format of land cadastral data, based on the LandINFRA concepts. Then I compared all three formats and highlighted the most suitable one
Design of the cycling route across Vipava valley
Full text linkIn my graduation thesis, I am planning a cycle route through the Vipava valley, as a new cycling link. In more detail I am planning the portion Kromberk – Šempas. Cycling route is divided into four parts. Two of them takes place in a mixed profile, while the remaining two are plan as the new cycling path wich runs mostly along existing gravel road. In my thesis i design the orderly bicycle resting place, wich will stand at several places through the cycling route. In šempas, the fourth part of the path ends with an underpass fort the safe crossing of national road. The path is suitable for all kinds of cyclists and is running as far from the main road with high quantity of traffic
Maritime spatial planning and integrated coastal zone management
Full text linkCoastal zones are strategically important zones, where live a lot of European citizens: they are important to produce food and row materials, they are essential for traffic and commerce relations, they hold some of the most precious habitats, and besides they are choosen to spend at the best one's free time. Nevertheless the attraction of coastal zones is ever more in danger: their natural sources are extremely overworked, the lack of space causes fights in its employment, large season fluctuation of people and work. Natural ecosystems, of which depend coastal zones, are in decline. Politics and laws regarding the administration of coastal zones as well as their realisation have developped separetly and only by sector. The global administration of coastal zones is therefore to be realized strategically both for their programming and administrating. It has also to ensure a better base to exploit of synergy, reduction of inconsistency and best realization of a lasting development.\ud
Owing to the request of maritime space for different aims, as the production of energy through renewable sources, research and exploitation of naphte and gas, sea traffic and fishing activities, salvage of ecosystems and bio diversities, obtaining of rough materials, tourism, aims regarding water culture and underwater cultural heritage, it is necessary to project sea activities by considering a global ecosystem. Such an administrative act as regards sea problems is the maritime spatial planning, which purpose is to substain a lasting sea and ocean development as well as an infra or better a supersector political object able to permit to public organs and participants the employment of the global and international use. The programming result is the concrete marine spatial plan.\ud
Owing to the international nature of sea and coastal processes it is to consider the cooperation with the neghbouring countries within regional seas. In the global administration of coastal zones and in the marine spatial planning must be highly considered both the terrestrialand the sea space
