Study on polymer elements for mitigation of earthquake-induced pounding between buildings in complex arrangements
PublicationPounding between neighbouring buildings during earthquakes has been identified as one of the reasons for substantial damage or even total collapse of colliding structures, so it has been the subject of numerous studies in the recent years. A major reason leading to interactions between adjacent, insufficiently separated structures results from the differences in their dynamic properties. The problem is much more complicated for...

Estimation of nonstructural stiffness in instrumented steel frames
PublicationLateral stiffness of nonstructural components may significantly influence the initial stiffness of the entire structure and consequently alter its dynamic characteristics. While methods for simulating structural members are well-established, approaches for modeling nonstructural components that also participate in seismic response are notably less developed. In this paper a simplified, physically-intuitive approach for estimating...

Effects of Column Base Flexibility on Seismic Response of Steel Moment-Frame Buildings
PublicationSteel Moment Resisting Frames (SMRFs) are very popular lateral load resisting systems in many seismically active regions. However, their seismic response is strongly dependent on the rotational fixity of column base connections. Despite many studies (both experimental and numerical) in this particular area, available approaches for estimating column base flexibility have been validated only against laboratory test data. In the...

Zespół Katedry Zarządzania w Budownictwie i Inżynierii Sejsmicznej
Research TeamsKatedra Zarządzania w Budownictwie i Inżynierii Sejsmicznej jest kontynuatorem tradycji Katedry Ekonomiki Budownictwa, powołanej na Politechnice Gdańskiej w 1965 r. W 1974 r. powstała pierwsza w Polsce specjalność Organizacja i Zarządzanie w Budownictwie, która nieprzerwanie od tego czasu prowadzona jest przez pracowników katedry. W swojej długiej historii, katedra podlegała licznym przekształceniom organizacyjnym, kilkakrotnie...
