Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ)
2018

Civil engineering is one of the oldest and broadest engineering fields, dealing with the design and construction, but also with the maintenance of the naturally and physically built environment. It includes a vast spectrum of works such as buildings, roads, railways, bridges, canals, dams, sewage systems etc. It is a fact that civil engineering does not develop at the same progressive rate as some other engineering disciplines (i.e. mechanical, electrical or computing engineering) where new discoveries are introduced practically on a daily-basis.The objective reasons for this are to be found in the nature of civil engineering which has been developing gradually not for centuries, but milleniums. However, the implementation of numerical codes, modernization of investigation and testing equipment, much more powerful construction machines have all led to the implementation of innovative techniques and technologies in civil engineering over the last few last decades. The papers listed below represent a part of the scientific and professional work of experts of the Department of Geotechnics, Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Zagreb. The Department of Geotechnics is one of nine departments of the Faculty of Civil Enineering, University of Zagreb. The Department of Geotechnics is one of nine departments of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and it is organised in two chairs, the Chair of Soil and Rock Mechanics and the Chair for Geotechnical Engineering.

18 Oct Jubilee Annual 2017-2018 of the Croatian Academy of Engineering

Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ)
2018

It is customary for the Academy to present the appropriate form of its activities in the annualsof the academy, which are issued yearly in Croatian or English. So, Annual 2016 of the Croatian Academy of Engineering was published in which our members in their papers deal with the current burning topic entiled "The State and theFfuture of Technical and Biotechnical Sciences in Croatia in the 21st Century" which certainly contributed to considerations and decisions related to the future of science and economy. You now have in front of you our Annual 2017-2018 in english under the title "Annual 2017-2018 of the Croatian Academy of engineering". The significant aim of this edition is to make a contribution and historical review of activities over the past years and to make you familiar with the type and membership of the Academy.
