Šiško, Josip (author), Tomić, Hrvoje (author), Gašparović, Sanja (author), Šiško, Darko (author)Spatial planning is at the core of every economic and social development of city. Key element in the process of spatial planning is information, that is traditionally a cadastre and land book. The change in property values has been considered as the result of the planning process, but in the last decade researches have seen a huge importance of...conference paper 2022

Kádár, I. (author), Nagy, L. (author)With the prescence of Eurocode 7 standards the reliability-based design appeared and it is still spreading in geotechnics. In geotechnical design it is essential that we know the physical parameters of the soils as accurately and safely as possible. Therefore experiments and series of experiments are carried out and characteristic values are...conference paper 2015

Sundell, J. (author), Rosén, L. (author), Norberg, T. (author), Wladis, D. (author), Alén, C. (author)Sub-surface constructions generally involve drainage of groundwater, which can induce land subsidence in compressible soil deposits and cause extensive damage costs in urban areas. A probabilistic framework, in accordance with the risk management framework outlined by the International Standard Organization (ISO), for assessing risks of...conference paper 2015

Navratil, Gerhard (author), Fogliaroni, Paolo (author)The implementation of a 3D cadastre is work-intensive and expensive and legitimation of such expenses is necessary. A legitimate path of argumentation is that 2D systems fail to communicate complex legal situations correctly. Also, additional arguments can help to strengthen the position of 3D cadastres and provide support from other professions...conference paper 2014

Javierre, E. (author), Vuik, C. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author), Segal, A. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)In thermal processing of alloys, homogenization of the as-cast microstructure by annealing at such a high temperature that unwanted precipitates are fully dissolved, is required to obtain a microstructure suited to undergo heavy plastic deformation. This process is governed by Fickian diffusion and can be modelled as a Stefan problem. In binary...conference paper 2006

Weiland, S. (author), Van Belzen, F. (author)This paper considers the problem of optimal rank approximation of multilinear functions. A new notion of singular values is introduced for an arbitrary tensor and it is shown how optimal lower rank approximations of a tensor can be inferred from these singular values, without resorting to orthogonal tensor decompositions. The results in this...conference paper 2006

Van Gijzen, M.B. (author), Erlangga, Y.A. (author)By combining element-by-element estimates for the field of values of a preconditioned matrix with GMRES-convergence estimates it is possible to derive an easily computable upper bound on the GMRES-residual norm. This method can be applied to general finite element systems, but the preconditioner has to be Hermitian and positive definite. The...conference paper 2006
