    Ovaj rad daje pregled osnovnih postulata i način primjene teorije funkcionala gustoće (DFT) u određivanju elektronske strukture molekula. Za izračun se koristi CP2K, suvremeni kvantno-mehanički programski paket te je dan prikaz instalacije, korištenje i opisa najbitnijih naredbi u CP2K. Teorijski izračuni su pojašnjeni pomoću teorije molekularnih orbitala. Za osnovni primjer je uzeta molekula amonijaka, za koju su proveden izračun optimizacije molekulske strukture. Zatim je na njoj proveden izračun naboja na atomima dušika i vodika pomoću Mulliken populacijske analize i Hirshfeldovih načina određivanja naboja. To je rađeno za različite bazne setove i funkcionale energije izmjene i korelacije. Nacrtane su molekularne orbitale te je prikazan način njihovog formiranja. Dodatno je izračunati rendgenski emisijski spektar za molekulu SO42+ te je uspoređen s eksperimentalnim rezultatima. Na kraju je uzet malo složeniji primjer molekule dibenzil sulfida te su za nju izračunate koordinate atoma, naboj na njima te rendgenski spektar.This bachelor thesis provides an overview of the fundamental postulates and the application of density functional theory (DFT) in determining the electronic structure of molecules. The calculations were made using CP2K, a modern quantum – a mechanical software package, and its installation, usage, and key commands are presented. A molecular orbital theory is used to explain theoretical calculations. The ammonia molecule was taken as a basic example, for which the molecular structure optimization was calculated. Using Mulliken and Hirshfeld population analysis the partial charge calculation on the nitrogen and hydrogen atoms was performed. This was done for different basis sets and exchange – correlation energy functionals. Molecular orbitals were ploted and their formation process was demonstrated. In addition, the X-ray emission spectrum for the SO42+ molecule was calculated and compared with experimental results. Finally, a slightly more complex example of a dibenzyl sulfide molecule was taken, and the atomic coordinates, charges, and X-ray spectrum were calculated

    Gospodarenje otpadom predstavlja jedan od najvećih izazova suvremenog društva. Cilj je ovog rada prikazati različite alternativne metode zbrinjavanja biootpada te analizirati njihov utjecaj na sustav gospodarenja otpadom. U radu su dane ključne informacije o biootpadu, od njegovog sastava, mogućih načina obrade te potencijala kao resursa. Opisano je trenutno stanje u Republici Hrvatskoj, s fokusom na obradi biootpada te aktualnim mjerama za poboljšanje stanja po tom pitanju. U nastavku su objašnjene metode za smanjenje biootpada koje su usko vezane uz prehrambene navike stanovništva, kao što je pravilno skladištenje hrane i ispravno tumačenje deklaracija na proizvodima. U radu se, također, opisuju metode obrade biootpada kao što je konvencionalno kompostiranje, bokashi kompostiranje, vermikompostiranje, te je pobliže analizirana mogućnost ugradnje drobilica za hranu kao načina obrade otpada od hrane u zgradama. Analizirani su tehnički i ekonomski faktori ugradnje kuhinjskih drobilica za hranu te su uz pomoć MS Excela izrađena 3 modela, u ovisnosti o postotku korisnika zainteresiranih za ugradnju drobilica. Rezultat modela 1 pri 30% zainteresiranih korisnika pokazuje da se količina biootpada prikupljena kamionima godišnje smanji za 534 t, što rezultira godišnjem smanjenju troškova njegovog prikupljanja i zbrinjavanja od 56.358 €. Rezultat modela 2 pri zainteresiranosti za ugradnju drobilica od 40% pokazuje smanjenje količina biootpada od 720 t, rezultirajući uštedom na račun prikupljanja i zbrinjavanja biootpada od 75.144 €. Rezultat modela 3 koji pretpostavlja najveći interes za ugradnju drobilica od 60% pokazuje da će se količina biootpada smanjiti za 1068 t, čime Čistoća štedi 75.144 € na račun troškova sakupljanja i zbrinjavanja. Uz sufinanciranje projekta od strane Fonda od 40% očekuje se povrat investicije za 7 godina. Rezultati su prikazani grafički te je izveden zaključak s prijedlogom najoptimalnijeg smjera djelovanja.Nowadays, waste management represents one of the biggest challenges we face. The aim of this paper is to present various alternative methods of biowaste disposal and to analyze their impact on the waste management system. Key information about biowaste is provided, including its composition, processing methods and potential as a resource. Current situation in the Republic of Croatia is further described, with emphasis on biowaste disposal strategies and current measures to improve the situation. The following sections describe methods for reducing biowaste that are closely related to the dietary habits of population, from proper food storage to correct interpretation of product labels. The processing methods are then described, including conventional composting, bokashi composting, vermicomposting, with the possibility of installing food waste grinders in apartment buildings being further analysed. Technical and economic factors for the implementation of food waste grinders is further analysed, from which three models are created using MS Excel, each for different percentages of interested users. The result of Model 1, with 30% of users interested in food waste grinders installation, shows that the amount of bio-waste collected by trucks annually would be reduced by 534 tons, resulting in annual cost savings of €56.358 for its collection and disposal. The result of Model 2, with 40% interest in the installation of grinders, shows a reduction in bio-waste of 720 tons, resulting in savings of €75.144 for the collection and disposal of bio-waste. The result of Model 3, assuming the highest interest in the installation of grinders at 60%, shows that the amount of bio-waste would be reduced by 1.068 tons, saving €112.760 in collection and disposal costs. With 40% cofinancing from the Fund, the investment payback period is expected to be 7 years. The results are presented graphically, and a conclusion is drawn with a proposal for the most optimal course of action

    Izgradnja vodovodnog sustava na navedenom području započela je krajem 19. stoljeća kada je 1884. godine izgrađen prvi zahvat vode na izvoru Zdiška te gravitacijski cjevovod s dvije javne fontane, odakle su se korisnici opskrbljivali vodom. Organizirana vodoopskrba na području grada Ogulina počinje 1955. godine pregrađivanjem rijeke Zagorske Mrežnice u svrhu izgradnje akumulacijskog jezera Sabljaci za potrebe hidroelektrane Gojak. Za potrebe vodoopskrbe stanovništva na području Grada Ogulina i susjednih mjesta zahvaćeno je ukupno 8 izvorišta koji su dobro prostorno raspoređeni čime je izbjegnuta potreba izgradnje vrlo dugih cjevovoda za osiguranje potreba vodoopskrbe. Pretpostavljena duljina vodoopskrbne mreže svih 7 podsustava iznosi oko 519 km. Na cjelokupnom sustavu u pogonu je 7 vodocrpilišta, 1 vodozahvat, 19 precrpnih stanica i 17 vodosprema od kojih je 11 većih kapaciteta.The construction of the water supply system in the mentioned area began at the end of the 19th century. In 1884 the first water intake was built at the source of Zdiška together with a gravity pipeline with two public fountains, which supplied users with water. Organized water supply in the area of the town of Ogulin began in 1955 when a dam was built on the Zagorska Mrežnica River for the purpose of building the Sabljaci reservoir for the needs of the Gojak hydroelectric power plant. In order to supply the population of the town of Ogulin and neighbouring places with water, a total of 8 well-distributed springs were affected, which enabled sufficient water supply without building very long pipelines. The assumed length of the water supply network of all 7 subsystems is about 519 km. The entire system consists of 7 water pumping stations, 1 water intake, 19 pumping stations and 17 water reservoirs, out of which 11 have a larger capacity

    Trasa brze ceste Lepoglava - Krapina prolazi kroz topografski slo~en teren. Prilagodba takvome podru ju zahtijeva izgradnju tunela i vijadukata, te izvedbu usjeka, zasjeka i nasipa. Za kvalitetnu i sigurnu izgradnju ceste i njenih objekata nu~ni su istra~ni radovi. Istra~ni radovi na temeljnom tlu podrazumijevaju geolobka i geotehni ka istra~ivanja. Geolobko kartiranje uglavnom je provedeno, te daje uvid u geolobke i hidrogeolobke uvjete podru ja na kojem se gradi. S obzirom da detaljna geotehni ka istra~ivanja job nisu izvedena, u ovom radu preporu uju se metode za dobivanje geotehni kih zna ajki terena. Tako se preporu a izvođenje geofizi kih istra~ivanja poput seizmi ke refrakcije, geoelektri ne tomografije i vibekanalne analize povrbinskih valova (MASW). Nakon geofizi kih istra~ivanja potrebno je provesti istra~no bubenje, stati ki konusni penetrometar (CPTu), ispitivanje dilatometrom te laboratorijska ispitivanja uzoraka tla i stijena.The route of the Lepoglava - Krapina fast road passes through a topographically complex terrain. Adapting to such an area requires the construction of tunnels and viaducts, as well as the execution of cuttings, incisions and embankments. Investigative works are necessary to ensure the quality and safe construction of roads and their structures. Geological mapping has mostly been carried out, and it provides an insight into the geological and hydrogeological conditions of the area where the construction is being done. Since detailed geotechnical investigations have not been performed yet, this paper recommends methods for obtaining geotechnical characteristics of the terrain such as seismic refraction, electrical resistivity tomography and multi-channel analysis of surface waves. After geophysical research, it is necessary to carry out exploratory drilling, testing with a cone penetrometer and dilatometer, and laboratory tests of soil and rock samples

    Cilj ovog rada je prikazati kako obnovljivi izvori energije mogu postati stabilan energent, ukoliko se vodik upotrijebi za pohranu energije, te na koji način vodik može poslužiti u zaštiti okoliša. Također, u radu je prikazana upotreba energije kroz ljudsku povijest, te je pomoću Kardascheve skale prikazano što možemo očekivati u bližoj i daljoj budućnosti vezano za energetiku. U radu su opisani oblici najčešće proizvodnje vodika, te mogućnosti njegove implementacije na lokalnoj i globalnoj razini, zajedno sa njihovim prednostima i nedostatcima. U radu su navedeni zakoni i regulative koji prikazuju u kojoj mjeri Europska Unija i njezine članice (kao što je Hrvatska) računaju na vodik kao energent za postizanje ciljeva održivog razvoja, te koje sve korake poduzima EU kako bi upotreba vodika zaživjela u svim porama društva. Na kraju rada napravljena je studija slučaja pod nazivom „Grad Vukovar- implementacija vodika“, u kojoj je na osnovu podataka o obnovljivim izvorima energije na tom području, odabran najpogodniji način dobivanja energije za proizvodnju zelenog vodika. Također, u obzir su uzeti podatci o prometnoj važnosti grada Vukovara, broju i vrsti prometnih vozila, geografski podatci, podatci o gospodarstvu i stanovništvu grada, te trenutna energetska infrastruktura i projekti vezani uz energetiku na području grada. Na osnovu navedenih podataka dan je prijedlog moguće implementacije vodika u gradu Vukovaru, te su za isti navedeni mogući troškovi, ako bi došlo do realizacije. Nužno je napraviti globalnu energetsku tranziciju i zamijeniti fosilna goriva sa drugim izvorima energije, kako bi se sačuvao okoliš i osigurala energetska sigurnost. Zeleni vodik se zbog svoje višenamjenske sposobnosti zadovoljavanja ciljeva održivog razvoja i energetske tranzicije nameće kao mogući dio rješenja.The aim of this paper is to show how renewable energy sources can become a stable energy source if hydrogen is used to store energy, and how hydrogen can be used in environmental protection. The paper also gives an account of the use of energy throughout human history and by using the Kardaschev scale it shows what we can expect in the near and distant future related to energy. The paper describes the most common forms of hydrogen production, the possibilities of its implementation at local and global level as well as its advantages and disadvantages. The paper lists laws and regulations that show the extent to which the European Union and its members (such as Croatia) count on hydrogen as an energy source to achieve the goals of sustainable development. Also, it shows what steps the EUis taking in order to achievetheirgoal of making use of hydrogen in all aspects of everyday life. At the end of the paper a case study “The town of Vukovar- Implementation of Hydrogen “is presented. Based on data on renewable energy sources in that area, the most suitable way of obtaining energy for the production of green hydrogen was selected. Also, the case study takes into account data on the traffic importance of the town of Vukovar, the number and type of traffic vehicles, geographic data, data on the economy and population of thetown as wellcurrent energy infrastructure and projects related to energy in the area around the town. Based on these data a proposal was made for the possible implementation of hydrogen in the town of Vukovar and costs were also indicated. It is necessary to make a global energy transition from fossil fuels to other energy sources in order to preserve the environment and ensure energy security. Due to its multi-functional ability to meet the goals of sustainable development and energy transition, green hydrogen is emerging as a possible part of the solution to this problem

    Hidrologija je znanost koja proučava distribuciju i kretanje vode na površini i ispod površine Zemlje te u njezinoj atmosferi. Informacije dobivene analizom ponašanja i kretanja vode kroz hidrološki ciklus od velike su važnosti u područjima kao što su upravljanje vodnim resursima, upravljanje rizicima od opasnosti povezanih s vodom, projektiranje infrastrukture, proizvodnja električne energije i zaštita okoliša. Hidrološko modeliranje moćan je alat koji omogućava simulaciju i razumijevanje interakcija između različitih komponenti hidrološkog ciklusa, a odabir vrste modela ovisi o ciljevima istraživanja, dostupnim podacima, računalnim resursima i karakteristikama hidrološkog sustava koji se modelira. U hidrološko modeliranje sve se više integrira umjetna inteligencija, kako bi se prevladala ograničenja klasičnih modela te poboljšala njihova točnost i mogućnosti predviđanja. Jedno od potpolja umjetne inteligencije su umjetne neuronske mreže, koje se koriste za određivanje nelinearnih odnosa i vremenskih ovisnosti u hidrološkim podacima. U ovom radu korišten je programski jezik Python za razvoj i implementaciju hidrološkog modela baziranog na povratnoj neuronskoj mreži. Ova specifična arhitektura neuronske mreže odabrana je zbog svoje sposobnosti hvatanja uzoraka i vremenskih ovisnosti u nizovima podataka. Izrađen je model sliva Bednje, koji ima bujični režim ovisan o količini oborina. Model predviđa protoke na hidrološkoj postaji Ludbreg, na temelju prethodnih podataka o oborinama i protocima s uzvodnih postaja.The development of a hydrological model of the Bednja River based on a recurrent neural network Hydrology is a science that studies distribution and movement of water below and above the Earth's surface and in its atmosphere. The information obtained from the analysis of the behaviour and movement of water through the hydrological cycle is of great importance in areas such as water resources management, risk management of water-related hazards, infrastructure design, electricity generation and environmental protection. Hydrological modelling is a powerful tool that enables simulation and understanding of interactions between different components of the hydrological cycle, and the choice of a model type depends on the research objectives, available data, computer resources and characteristics of the hydrological system that is being modelled. Artificial intelligence has been increasingly integrated into hydrological modelling, in order to overcome the limitations of classic models and enhance their accuracy and predictive capabilities. One of the subfields of artificial intelligence are artificial neural networks, which are used to determine nonlinear relationships and time dependencies in hydrological data. In this paper, the Python programming language was used for the development and implementation of a hydrological model based on a recurrent neural network. This specific neural network architecture was chosen for its ability to capture patterns and temporal dependencies in data sets. A model of the Bednja basin was created, which has a flood regime dependent on the amount of precipitation. The model predicts flows at the Ludbreg hydrological station, based on previous data on precipitation and flows from upstream stations

    Geostatistika spada u granu geomatematike koja se bavi analizom prostornih podataka u svrhu kvantificiranja i modeliranja njihove prostorne korelacije. U geostatistici, a katkad uz određene prilagodbe i u meteorologiji, računalni programi poput Surfera, ArcGIS-a itd. koriste se za analizu prostorne distribucije meteoroloških elemenata. Prostornu distribuciju meteoroloških elemenata moguće je grafički prikazati izradom variograma i konturnih karata u računalnom programu Surfer. Osnovni cilj ovog istraživanja je proučavanje prostorne raspodjele srednjih dnevnih temperatura zraka u Republici Hrvatskoj (RH) u dva 30 - godišnja klimatska razdoblja: 1961. – 1990. i 1991. – 2020. Podaci o vrijednostima srednjih dnevnih temperatura zraka na 30 promatranih meteoroloških postaja, preuzeti su iz Državnog hidrometeorološkog zavoda Republike Hrvatske (DHMZ). Variografska analiza srednjih godišnjih temperatura zraka u primorskoj, nizinskoj i gorskoj regiji RH provedena je u računalnom programu Surfer. Izrađene su konturne karte pomoću kojih će se pokušati ustvrditi postoji li porast ili opadanje godišnjih prosjeka temperature zraka između dva navedena razdoblja. Rezultati geostatističkog modela uspoređeni su s rezultatima regionalnog klimatskog modela (RegCM). Također, testirana je hipoteza o statističkoj značajnosti trenda porasta srednje dnevne temperature zraka za meteorološku postaju u Ogulinu za razdoblje 1961. – 2021.Geostatistics is a branch of geomathematics that deals with the analysis of spatial data for the purpose of quantifying and modeling their spatial correlation. In geostatistics, and sometimes with certain adjustments in meteorology, computer programs such as Surfer, ArcGIS, etc. are used to analyze the spatial distribution of meteorological elements. The spatial distribution of meteorological elements can be displayed graphically by creating variograms and contour maps in the Surfer computer programme.. The main goal of this research is to study the variability of mean annual air temperatures in two 30-year-long periods: 1961 – 1990 and 1991 – 2020 in the territory of the Republic of Croatia. The data on mean daily air temperatures at 30 observed meteorological stations were taken from the Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service (CMHS). A variographic analysis of annual average air temperatures in the Republic of Croatia's coastal, lowland and mountainous regions was carried out in the Sufer computer programme. Contour maps were created to determine whether there was an increase or decrease in annual average air temperatures between the two mentioned periods. The results of the geostatistical model created in Surfer were compared with the Regional Climate Model (RegCM) results. Also, a hypothesis about the statistical significance of the trend for an average daily increase in an air temperature at the meteorological station in Ogulin in the period from 1961 to 2021 was tested

    Transport riječnog nanosa ima vitalnu ulogu u oblikovanju riječne morfologije, te utječe na različite obrasce tečenja i stvara raznolike ekosustave duž riječnog toka. Najvažniji čimbenici koji utječu na transport nanosa su: brzina toka, veličina i sastav nanosa, oblik i hrapavost riječnog korita te sama količina nanosa u uzvodnim dijelovima sliva i prisutnost prepreka i promjena u riječnom toku. Rijeka Drava svojim tokom kroz srednju i jugoistočnu Europu prenosi velike količine suspendiranog i koritoformirajućeg (vučenog) nanosa. U ovom radu pobliže su objašnjene hidrološke, geološke i hidrogeološke karakteristike rijeke Drave, vrste i važnost nanosa u rijeci te je dan pregled metoda za izračun pronosa suspendiranog nanosa unjoj. U radu su analizirani podaci s četiri hidrološke postaje na rijeci Dravi, a to su: Varaždin, Donja Dubrava, Botovo i Terezino Polje. Prikazano je višegodišnje kretanje vodostaja, protoka i pronosa suspendiranog nanosa te njihova povezanost s klimatskim (količinom oborina) i antropogenim (gradnja hidroelektrana) čimbenicima. Prikazane su metode za izračun pronosa nanosa na primjeru rijeke Drave, a metode su: izračun koncentracije suspendiranog nanosa na temelju diskretnih uzoraka vode, izračun srednje profilske koncentracije i određivanje koeficijenta korekcije za dnevne diskretne uzorke, izračun dnevnog, mjesečnog i godišnjeg pronosa suspendiranog nanosa za mjernu postaju Botovo, definiranje krivulje nanosa na mjernim postajama na Dravi, trendovi promjena u režimu pronosa suspendiranog nanosa u zavisnosti od antropogenih i klimatskih utjecaja te opis metoda proračuna vučenog nanosa primjerom izračuna po Einstein - Brown metodi.Methods for calculating sediment transport in the Drava River River sediment transport plays a vital role in shaping river morphology, and it also influences different flow patterns and creates diverse ecosystems along the river course. The most important factors affecting sediment transport are: flow speed, size and composition of sediment, shape and roughness of the river bed, and the amount of sediment in the upstream parts of the basin as well as the presence of obstacles and changes in the river flow. The Drava River transports large amounts of suspended and bed load in its flow through Central and South - Eastern Europe. In this paper the hydrological, geological and hydrogeological characteristics of the Drava River and the types and importance of sediment in the River are explained, and an overview of methods for calculating suspended sediment transport in it are given. In the paper, data from four hydrological stations on the Drava River were analyzed, and they are : Varaždin, Donja Dubrava, Botovo and Terezino Polje. The long-term distribution of water level, flow and sediment transport and their connection with climatic (precipitation) and anthropogenic (hydroelectric power plant construction) factors are presented. The methods of suspended sediment transport calculations are shown on the example of the Drava River, and they include: calculation of the concentration of suspended sediment based on discrete water samples, calculation of the average profile concentration and determination of the correction coefficient for daily discrete samples, calculation of daily, monthly and annual sediment transport for the measuring station Botovo, definition of the sediment curve at the measuring stations on the Drava River, trends of changes in the sediment transport regime depending on anthropogenic and climatic influences as well as the description of the bed load transport calculation methods with an example of calculation based on Einstein – Brown method

    Danas kada razmišljamo o izvorima energije, najčešće spominjemo ugljen, naftu, plin, nuklearnu energiju, hidroenergiju, solarna energiju, energija vjetra i bio gorivo. Nekoliko stoljeća unatrag vidljivo je da smo se oslanjali na samo jedan ili dva ključna izvora energije. U ovom radu istražiti će se povijesni prikaz korištenja energetskih resursa u prošlostiali i predviđanja korištenja energije u budućnosti. Energija je ključ za postizanje ekonomskih, društvenih iekoloških ciljeva čovječanstva, a količina potrošnje , nestajanje rezervi i metode proizvodnje energije najkontroverznija su tema u današnjem svijetu. Znanstvenici, vlade, tvrtke i društva traže rješenje za zadovoljenje rastuće potražnje za energijom u svijetu koji se brzo industrijalizira. Svi ovi napori usmjereni su na postizanje globalnog gospodarskog rasta na način koji ne šteti okolišu. Kako se potrošnja energije u cijelom svijetu povećava, novi pojmovi kao što su održivost i učinkovitost energije, ranjivost u opskrbi i utjecaj na okoliš postaju sve popularniji. Predviđanje rezultata nadolazećih izazova poput klimatskih promjena i potraga za pristupačnom energijom uz razumnu cijenu s prosvjetiteljskim politikama najatraktivniji su predmeti istraživanjaNowadays, when we mention energy sources, we most often think about coal, oil, gas, nuclear energy, hydropower, solar energy, wind energy and biofuel. A few centuries ago, it was evident that we relied on only one or two key sources of energy. The master thesis gives an overview on the use of energy throughout the history and makes predictions of its future use. Energy is the key to achieving the economic, social, and environmental goals of humanity, and the amount of energy consumption, the depletion of energy reserves as well as production methods are the most controversial topics in today's world. Scientists, governments, companies, and societies are looking for a solution to meet the growing demand for energy in the rapidly industrializing world. All of these efforts are aimed at achieving global economic growth in an environmentally friendly way. As energyconsumption increases worldwide, new concepts such as sustainabilityand energy efficiency, supply vulnerability and environmental impact are becoming increasingly popular. Predicting the results of upcoming challenges such as climate change and the search for affordable energy at a reasonable price with enlightening policies are the most attractive research subjects

    Na lokaciji postojeće Dječje bolnice Srebrnjak u Zagrebu, predviđana je dogradnja bolnice građevinom na istočnoj strani postojeće zgrade. Zbog brežuljkastog karaktera topografije terena i prosječnog nagiba ~26°, podzemni dio novoplaniranog dogradnog objekta će se nalaziti u zasjeku koji će biti dubok i preko 12 m, te je postojeću zgradu i iskop, odnosno građevinsku jamu, potrebno zaštiti i osigurati stabilnost kosina. Građevinske jame su iskopi u zemlji kojima se olakšavaju građevinske aktivnosti kao što su radovi temeljenja, radovi na podzemnim instalacijama, gradnja podruma i sl. Mogu biti plitke ili duboke te mogu predstavljati značajne rizike za radnike, okolne zgrade i okoliš ako nisu pravilno poduprte i zaštićene. Jedna od učinkovitih metoda zaštite građevinskih jama je korištenjem pilota. Piloti se postavljaju po obodu građevinske jame da bi se osigurala bočna potpora i spriječilo urušavanje tla ili kosine. Piloti su konstrukcijski elementi koji se koriste za prijenos opterećenja s konstrukcije na tlo. Obično se koriste u geotehničkom inženjerstvu za duboko temeljnje tj. podupiranje zgrada, mostova i drugih struktura koje su izgrađene na mekom, slabom ili kolapsibilnom tlu. Postoji nekoliko vrsta pilota, a izbor vrste ovisi o čimbenicima kao što su uvjeti tla (čvrstoća, krutost, stišljivost), potrebna nosivost i ograničenja konstrukcije.The existing Srebrnjak Children's Hospital in Zagreb is going to be expanded a with a building on its eastern side. Due to the hilly character of the topography of the terrain and the average slope of ~26°, the underground part of the newly planned building will be located in a cut that will be more than 12 m deep. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the existing building and the excavation, i.e. the construction pit, as well as to ensure the stability of the slope. Construction pits are excavations in the ground that facilitate construction activities such as foundation work, work on underground installations, construction of basements, etc. They can be shallow or deep and they can pose significant risks to workers, surrounding buildings and the environment if they are not properly supported and protected. Using piles is one of effective methods of protecting construction pits.. Piles are placed around the perimeter of a construction pit to provide lateral support and to prevent soil or slope collapse.. Piles are structural elements used to transfer loads from a structure to the ground. They are usually used in geotechnical engineering for deep foundations, i.e. supporting buildings, bridges and other structures that are built on soft, weak or collapsible soil. There are several types of piles, and the choice of type depends on factors such as soil conditions (strength, stiffness, compressibility), required load capacity, and structural limitations
