  • Framing Croatia's Politics of Memory and Identity
    Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER WORKSHOP: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Author: Taylor A. McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Title: “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Date: 3 April 2018 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Taylor McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Web: taylormcconnell.com | Twitter: @TMcConnell_SSPS | E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the development of Croatian memory politics and the construction of a new Croatian identity in the aftermath of the 1990s war for independence. Using the public “face” of memory – monuments, museums and commemorations – I contend that Croatia’s narrative of self and self- sacrifice (hence “KRVatska” – a portmanteau of “blood/krv” and “Croatia/Hrvatska”) is divided between praising “defenders”/“branitelji”, selectively remembering its victims/“žrtve”, and silencing the Serb minority. While this divide is partially dependent on geography and the various ways the Croatian War for Independence came to an end in Dalmatia and Slavonia, the “defender” narrative remains preeminent. As well, I discuss the division of Croatian civil society, particularly between veterans’ associations and regional minority bodies, which continues to disrupt amicable relations among the Yugoslav successor states and places Croatia in a generally undesired but unshakable space between “Europe” and the Balkans. 1 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................................................

  • Monitoring Performance of Large Croatian Bridges
    Monitoring performance of large Croatian bridges Jelena Bleiziffer and Jure Radic Institute IGH, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Croatia University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia ABSTRACT: The paper discusses monitoring performance of seven reinforced concrete arch bridges in Croatia. The bridges are vital links in road network system. Systematic approach in planning of bridge maintenance activities is essential for efficient bridge management. Structural health monitoring techniques may be implemented to improve maintenance management. Monitoring systems for long-term control of stresses, strains and corrosion progress have been installed on three major Croatian reinforced concrete arch bridges. Further research is required to develop monitoring strategy addressing the entire bridge stock. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Croatian road network As in most European countries, road network is by far the most important element of land transport in Croatia. According to Croatian legislation, public roads are classified as (Official Gazette RoC, 2008): (1) motorways (1.200 km); (2) state roads (6.800 km); (3) county roads (10.800 km); (3) local roads (10.300 km). Generally, motorway network contributes most to the efficiency of transport, which in turn is of utmost importance for economic and social development of a country. Over the last decades Croatia made large investments in construction of motorways (Fig.1), which would integrate the most distant parts of the country and provide for quick, easy and comfortable transportation of people, goods and services. With the total planned length of 1.500 km, the Croatian motorway network may not seem long, but it is worth mentioning that Croatia already has more kilometres of motorways per 100.000 citizens than, for instance, UK, Ireland, Greece or Italy.

Hojo Code The Martello Papers This is the eighteenth in a series of security studies published over the past several years by the Queen’s University Centre for International Relations (QCIR), under the general title of the Martello Papers. “From Ottawa to Sarajevo” is a detailed, empirical examination of Canadian participation in UN peacekeeping efforts in the former Yugoslavia between 1992 and 1995, written by a US Air Force officer, Major Dawn Hewitt, who served as Visiting Defence Fellow at the Centre during the 1996-97 academic year. Peacekeeping, by all accounts, has become increasingly complex since the end- ing of the Cold War, and as Major Hewitt’s monograph reveals, nowhere have those complexities and frustrations been more apparent than in the former Yugo- slavia.

Zagreb, Croatia Summary Digital technologies in measurement enable better quality in monitoring of large structures than mostly analogue system that have been used at the Maslenica bridge in Croatia. This monitoring system with analogue signal transfer from sensor to the acquisition unit is presented. Because of the observed weaknesses of analogue system, new digital system for monitoring of large structures was developed. This paper compares the relevant characteristics of both systems and gives short review of further development. Keywords: structure monitoring, industrial communication network, digital measuring system 1. Introduction In order to achieve more reliable and economical construction and maintenance of structure through its life cycle, monitoring is becoming more and more important.

  • MCI Newsletter
    June 2018 Cortec® MCI® Team Builds Concrete Skills ortec® MCI® regional sales reps for Europe, Canada, and the CSoutheastern and Western regions of the U.S. joined VP of MCI® Sales, Jessi Meyer, in June at Cortec® World Headquarters for a time of collaboration and skill-building. A highlight of the experience was hands-on training in practical tools and talents needed out on the jobsite. Technical Service Engineer Casey Heurung gave instruction on using the GalvaPulse to take rebar corrosion rate readings at concrete repair sites and how to detect the location of rebar under the concrete surface using a GSSI StructureScan Mini XT. Later, Alan Jolley, MCI® Regional Sales Manager for the Southeastern U.S., used his extensive industry knowledge to demonstrate the mixing and application of MCI®-2702 repair mortar and MCI®-2023 passivating grout. Everyone on the team had the opportunity to dig their hands into fresh repair mortar and actually practice applying product themselves, so they will be better prepared to help distributors and customers on the jobsite. The GSSI StructureScan Mini XT is a laser device that can be rolled across concrete surfaces to detect the general location of rebar beneath the concrete cover. Technical Service Engineer Casey Heurung demonstrates how to use a GalvaPulse to monitor corrosion rates in rebar. MCI® News Repair Mortar Demo: Saturating the con- crete surface with water before applying repair mortar is a critical part of making the mortar adhere. Applying passivating grout to a sample panel of steel. Passivating grout acts like a glue to help repair mortar adhere better to steel rebar.
