We are interested in a contact problem for a thin fixed beam with an internal point obstacle with possible rotation and shift depending on a given swivel and sliding friction. This problem belongs to the most basic practical problems in, for instance, the contact mechanics in the sustainable building construction design. The analysis and the practical solution plays a crucial role in the process and cannot be ignored. In this paper, we consider the classical Euler–Bernoulli beam model, which we formulate, analyze, and numerically solve. The objective function of the corresponding optimization problem for finding the coefficients in the finite element basis combines a quadratic function and an additional non-differentiable part with absolute values representing the influence of considered friction. We present two basic algorithms for the solution: the regularized primal solution, where the non-differentiable part is approximated, and the dual formulation. We discuss the disadvantages of the methods on the solution of the academic benchmarks.

The advent of Islam in Nusantara sparked new phenomena or changing not only in structure of building construction of religious places, residency and houses but also ornaments and decoration expressing value of beauty of that building. The result of this research tries to reveal how far Islamic influence is working without undermining local aspects of architecture and how Islamic architecture was influenced by other characters in ornament and decorative-ornament artwith various design and sense. Islamic nuances are substantially showed in traditional and contemporary mosque architecture, graveyard, residencies, palaces, historical building and soon and so forth. Although local elementsare clear, and so with Hinduism and Buddhism, animism, colonial influence and other foreign influences including Middle East, Africa, India and China, Islam shows its prominence in interior and exterior ornament as well as its tools.

For the development of a comprehensive explanative model on the genesis and use of the history of a historic building, an exclusively visual and aesthetic approach is not sufficient. In addition to the function, the construction is also shown as a peer design factor in the planning, architectural and artistic development. In this context, the task of the technical universities and colleges is to provide students with a far-reaching expertise in historical building construction. To achieve this goal, the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BUTE), in the context of a research programme, has taken a targeted initiative. For this purpose, a large number of historical architectural drawings were combined in a plan collection at the Department and made available for further research. With regard to the structural importance of these drawings, a systematic scientific research has been carried out.This study was supported by the National Research, Development and Innovation Office - grant No. 112906.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p><strong></strong><br />Joglo house has a deep meaning and represent Javanese identity. The structure of Joglo’s building for Javanese people is in accordance with the principle of Javanese people’s life, to firmly taking the responsibility of living. In the past, this building was become a symbolic of middle-upper class status in society and destined for living place, cultural art show, assembly hall, and ceremonial events. As the time goes by, there is a change of building function, building construction and ownership. Therefore, there is a need of special attention from government related to the preservation of ancient and historical buildings in accordance with Law No.11 year 2010 regarding cultural heritage. The preservation may include historical building conservation (preservation, restoration, reconstruction and revitalization). Conservation is often to accompanied by the development of design construction, which can give an impact to the change of meaning or identity and function of Joglo house. The switches of function of Joglo house was identified by the author through the case study of Joglo houses in Kotagede Heritage, Yogyakarta and Solo, Surakarta. Joglo house in Kotagede which has been observed by the author was Omah UGM.<br />Meanwhile, Joglo house in Solo, Surakarta was nDalem Purwodiningratan. The development of both Joglo houses was observed in the terms of function, and the shape of building. As a result, the author conclude that both of the Joglo houses have the historical value that deserve to be categorized as cultural heritage and needs to be preserved.</p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong><br />Rumah Joglo memiliki makna dan identitas yang kuat bagi masyarakat jawa. Struktur bangunan rumah Joglo bagi masyarakat jawa sesuai dengan prinsip kehidupan masyarakatnya yaitu tegas dalam menjalani tanggung jawab dalam kehidupan. Di masa lalu, bangunan sebagai simbol status kelas masyarakat menegah ke atas ini diperuntukkan untuk tempat tinggal, kegiatan pementasan, ruang pertemuan, dan acara seremonial. Seiring dengan perkembangan zaman, terjadi perubahan fungsi, konstruksi bangunan serta kepemilikan, sehingga makna dan filosofi rumah Joglo berkurang. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan perhatian khusus dari pemerintah terkait pelestarian bangunan kuno dan bersejarah sesuai dengan UU No. 11 tahun 2010 tentang cagar budaya. Pelestarian ini dapat berupa konservasi bangunan bersejarah (preservasi, restorasi, rekonstruksi maupun revitalisasi). Konservasi seringkali disertai dengan adanya pengembangan kontruksi desain yang dapat berdampak pada perubahan makna/identitas maupun fungsi dari rumah Joglo. Rumah Joglo yang beralih fungsi ini penulis mengidentifikasi melalui studi kasus bangunan rumah Joglo yang berada pada kawasan cagar budaya Kota Gede di Yogyakarta dan Solo, Surakarta. Rumah Joglo di Kota Gede yang diamati penulis adalah Omah UGM</p>

During the process of building construction, the role of geological survey is most important and it can be the factor that determines the success of an entire building construction project. Only if the geological survey is valued and related investigation record works is done prior to building construction, and ensures that the integrity and accuracy of the records, then only a scientific construction design can be made and assure the stability of the construction building. It can also promote the success of building construction; keep the harmony of the natural environment of construction site and to establish a good foundation for the sustainable development of building construction. Therefore, this paper mainly analyses the geo-logical survey technique in building construction engineering.

Abstract The Szentgyörgyi-Horváth-house is one of the major historical buildings of Balatonfüred. The design of the reconstruction was preceded by detailed architectural historical study. The reconstruction of the building was realized by retaining the original structures. For the new function the building was equipped with an air-conditioning engine-room. The air conditioner is a significant source of noise for the apartments facing the courtyard of the building, due to its continuous operation. The acoustic examination of the enclosed yard was calculated with two different approaches. The distance-dependent approximation, which is usual for large halls, was approved. Building construction structures were determined based on the results to meet the acoustic requirements.
