With the change in the name of our publisher (Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture) an adjustement was desirable. This change does not reflect any change or dilution in the scope, values, or editorial standards of the journal; rather, it is made in the spirit of a renewed emphasis on our core mission: to publish research that enriches the body of knowledge in all disciplines of civil engineering and architecture. Papers are published only in English and in the Journal's two issues per year. Publisher of the Journal is Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture Osijek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Croatia. The Journal is supported by the Croatian Ministry of Science and Education. Paper
