Ryzyko realizacji prac projektowych i prowadzenia przebudowy obiektów prywatnych
PublicationW artykule przedstawiono przykład realizacji przebudowy prywatnego budynku mieszkalnego, podczas której okazało się, że nie jest on wykonany zgodnie z projektem i zasadami sztuki budowlanej. Opracowany i zatwierdzony projekt budowlany przebudowy niewiele miał wspólnego z obiektem, którego dotyczył. Realizacja prac zgodnie z tym projektem była więc obarczona dużym ryzykiem, a w konsekwencji groziła katastrofą budowlaną.

Seismic performance evaluation of steel buckling-restrained braced frames including SMA materials
PublicationThe permanent deformation of the building after seismic excitations can be determined by the Maximum Residual Interstory Drift Ratio (MR-IDR), which may be used for measuring the damage states. Low-post yield stiffness of the steel buckling-restrained braced frame (BRBF) makes this system vulnerable to large MR-IDR after a severe earthquake event. To overcome this issue, this paper investigates the seismic limit state performances...

Influence of external walls' thermal capacitance on indoor thermal comfort
PublicationThe doctoral thesis presents the results of numerical investigations on the influence of walls’ thermal capacitance on indoor thermal comfort. A proper set of thermal parameters of a building structure can considerably limit the heating / cooling demand, and passively increase the indoor thermal comfort. However the effect of building thermal capacitance on indoor conditions is complex and not always beneficial. Among a great number...

Application of advanced spectroscopic methods in the assessment of the leachability degree of hazardous elements from the matrix of cellular concretea
PublicationDue to its structure, autoclaved cellular concrete exhibits good insulating properties with relatively high compressive strength values. It is increasingly used in construction because of its economic attractiveness. Autoclaved cellular concrete is mainly used in interior structure layers, and therefore its potential exposure to heavy metal leaching from the matrix may be related to the presence of a high pH medium from other materials...

Prognozowanie wpływu drgań komunikacyjnych na budynki mieszkalne za pomocą sztucznych sieci neuronowych i maszyn wektorów wspierających
PublicationDrgania komunikacyjne mogą stanowić duże obciążenie eksploatacyjne budynku, powodując zarysowania i spękania tynków, odpadanie wypraw, zarysowania konstrukcji, pękanie elementów konstrukcji lub nawet zawalenie się budynku. Pomiary drgań na rzeczywistych konstrukcjach są pracochłonne i kosztowne, a co ważne nie w każdym przypadku są one uzasadnione. Celem pracy jest analiza autorskiego algorytmu, dzięki któremu z dużym prawdopodobieństwem...
