  - Earthquakes and Structures - Year 2010

  Celem artykułu jest dokładna analiza zachowania się kolidujących ze sobą dwóch budynków z wibroizolacją i bez wibroizolacji poddanych obciążeniom dynamicznym podczas trzęsień ziemi. W analizie rozważno przypadki kiedy oba budynki mają wibroizolację, kiedy tylko jeden budynek ma wibroizolację oraz kiedy żaden z budynków nie ma wibroizolacji. Wyniki badań pokazują, iż budynki z wibroizolacją są bardziej podatne na zderzenia podczas...

  During earthquakes, out-of-phase vibrations in adjacent buildings with limited distance may cause pounding between them. In recent years, the use of seismic isolation has expanded considerably as an effective approach to reduce seismic damage. However, the isolated building experiences large displacements during earthquakes, and there is a possibility of collisions with adjacent structures. The research on earthquake-induced pounding...

  - Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration - Year 2012

  The accurate analysis of the seismic response of isolated structures requires the incorporation of the flexibility of supporting soil. However, it is often customary to idealize the soil as rigid during the analysis of such structures. In the present paper, seismic response time history analyses of base-isolated buildings modelled as single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multi degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems with linear and nonlinear...

  - Year 2014

  Seismic isolation is counted among the most popular and effective means of protecting structures against earthquake forces. Base isolators, like Lead-Rubber Bearings (LRB), High-Damping Rubber Bearings (HDB) or Friction Pendulum Systems (FPS) are extensively used in practice in many earthquake-prone regions of the world. The present paper reports the results obtained from the numerical study on seismic response of a base-isolated...

  - IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering - Year 2019

  Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a technology designed to improve and integrate all engineering aspects in the construction design process. Tools that incorporate the idea of BIM are becoming more advanced and also more popular. Available software solutions have already reached an assumable high level of development, but still are not as widespread and used on nearly as many construction projects as could be expected. Therefore...

  - Applied Sciences-Basel - Year 2022

  Th e methods for preventing earthquake-induced structural pounding between two adjacent buildings include ensuring a sufficient separation distance between them or decreasing their relative displacement during seismic excitation. Some equations or even specific values of such gap sizes between two buildings have been introduced so as to avoid collisions. Increasing the stiffness of buildings, using tuned mass dampers, applying...

  - Year 2018

  Objects of cultural heritage are an extremely important element in the proper functioning of the social life. They provide information on our ancestors' actions, as well as shape our culture and social awareness. It is important for the historical objects to provide those information accurately, that is without any unnecessary human intervention over the years of the monument's existence. However, it is not always possible due...
