Modeling of free vibrations and resonant frequencies of simply-supported submerged horizontal plate
PublicationA theoretical approach was applied to study the vibration of simple-supported submerged horizontal plate. The derived analytical solution was used to determine natural frequencies for a horizontal plate vibrating in fluid. The investigations were conducted for a very wide range of material density and elasticity modulus covering all materials used in engineering practice. Analysis shows that plate vibration frequency decreases...

Assessment of Wooden Beams from Historical Buildings Using Ultrasonic Transmission Tomography
PublicationThe main goal of this study was non-destructive evaluation of wooden elements using ultrasonic waves. The inspection was carried out on wooden beams from a historical object. Elastic wave signals were processed by ultrasonic transmission tomography to obtain imaging of the internal structure of tested elements without disturbing their state and integrity. The focus was on the influence of wood anisotropy on the propagation of ultrasonic...

Finite element modeling of plastic hinges based on ductility demand-capacity method using nonlinear material for dynamic analysis
PublicationThe article discusses modeling plastic hinges in reinforced concrete interme-diate supports using finite elements methods. The ductility demand-capacitymethod was used to determine the geometrical parameters of cross-section plas-ticization zones, their ability to move and rotate, as well as their ductility. Dueto the varied geometry and stiffness of the supports and their nonlinear behav-ior under dynamic load, this method was...

Modelling of laminated glass PVB walls of buildings exposed to vehicle impact with different speeds
PublicationThis paper presents an analytical model, developed for laminated glass subjected to a low-velocity impact. It has the ability to capture glass cracks as well as large non-linear deformations. It is based mathematically on the firstorder deformation concept, which considers the effect of membrane and transverse shear as well as bending. This theory uses damage mechanics to capture the glass cracking. For this purpose, several experiments...

Non-destructive Diagnostics of the Floor in the Gdańsk Crane Using Ground Penetrating Radar = Diagnostyka nieniszcząca posadzki w gdańskim Żurawiu z zastosowaniem metody georadarowej
PublicationThis paper presents the results of a ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey carried out at the Crane in Gdańsk. The measurements were conducted on the floor of the southern and northern towers. The aim of the experiment is to assess the possibility of detecting anomalies beneath the floor. The surveys were carried out in a non-destructive manner, using a georadar unit with 2 GHz and 400/900 MHz antennas. This paper compares the...

Siedziba Instytutu Pamięci Narodowej w Bydgoszczy
PublicationInstytucje odpowiedzialne za ochronę dokumentów i artefaktów uczestniczą w tworzeniu tożsamości zbiorowej, ustanawiając most łączący przeszłość, teraźniejszość i przyszłość. Owe instytucje mają swoje materialne odpowiedniki: obiekty będące ich siedzibą. Tym samym również architektura bierze udział w procesie budowy zbiorowej pamięci i tożsamości, wzmacniając autorytet instytucji poprzez swoją formę oraz ukazując i kształtując relację...

ANALIZA STATECZNOŚCI ORAZ KONCEPCJA ZABEZPIECZENIA ZBOCZA OSUWISKOWEGO W MOSTKACH K. STAREGO SĄCZA
PublicationW artykule przedstawiano analizę warunków stateczności zbocza osuwiskowego w miejscowości Mostki k. Starego Sącza, wraz ze sprawdzeniem efektywności zabezpieczenia zbocza przy zastosowaniu środków stabilizujących. Dla ustabilizowania zbocza zaproponowano jego drenowanie (drenaż podziemny) oraz „podparcie” przegrodą z mikropali. Rozważano stan stateczności zbocza w warunkach ekstremalnie niekorzystnych - gdy zwierciadło wody podziemnej...

Architectural and Urban Planning Solutions for the Protection of Heritage Buildings in the Context of Terrorist Attacks: Following the Example of Passive Protection Systems
PublicationEvents in recent years showing numerous terrorist attacks raise awareness regarding the neces-sity of considering the safety of heritage buildings. The analysis of available data allows us to conclude that it is not possible to fully prevent terrorist attacks. On the other hand, it is possible to minimize the impact of such incidents through proper design of Passive Protection System (PPS) components. One possible architectural...
