Truss imperfections in the design of bar and diaphragm bracing systems
PublikacjaIn the article three variants of roof bracing were considered: bar bracing, diaphragm bracing and the combination of bar and diaphragm bracing. Different analytical and numerical ways of taking into account the imperfections of the truss girder were compared. The entire 3D model of the roof (shell and beam elements with the eccentricities taken into account) was analysed numerically. Selected stressed-skin aspects were considered....

Modelling and Measurement of Folk Guitar: Truss Rod and Strings in Numerical Analysis of Tone
PublikacjaThe study makes an attempt to model a complete vibrating guitar including its non-linear features, specifically the tension-compression of truss rod and tension of strings. The purpose of such a model is to examine the influence of design parameters on tone. Most experimental studies are flawed by uncertainties introduced by materials and assembly of an instrument. Since numerical modelling of instruments allows for deterministic...

A novel formulation of 3D spectral element for wave propagation in reinforced concrete
PublikacjaThe paper deals with numerical simulations of wave propagation in reinforced concrete for damage detection purposes. A novel formulation of a 3D spectral element was proposed. The reinforcement modelled as the truss spectral element was embedded in the 3D solid spectral finite element. Numerical simulations have been conducted on cuboid concrete specimens reinforced with two steel bars. Different degradation models were considered...

SHM System of the Roof Structure of Sports Arena “Olivia”
PublikacjaThe paper presents a structural health monitoring system of the Sports Arena “Olivia” in Gdansk, Poland. The system was installed because of doubts about the roof stability due to observed buckling of the steel truss members. The SHM system was based on nonlinear FEM models used for detection of type of near failure modes of the roof. The application of detailed FEM model in current state updated on data from in situ loading testes...

DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF THE RAILWAY BRIDGES IN POLAND WITH REGARDS TO HIGH-SPEED TRAINS PASSAGE ADJUSTMENT
PublikacjaThe dynamic analysis of the railway bridge in Tczew was carried out in the article as an example of such bridges adaptation suitability to handle high-speed trains. Calculations of railway bridges are greatly complicated and labor-consuming. The bridge model and a rolling stock passage simulation were developed in the SOFISTIK software. Three types of elements were used for the correct mapping of the structure in the calculation...

Modelowanie kratownicy z kształtowników giętych na zimno z mimośrodami dodatnimi w węźle = Modelling of truss with cold-formed section and positive eccentricyty in the node.
PublikacjaThe topic of this research is establishing load-carrying capacity of compressed and tensed chords of trusses made of cold-formed open cross-sections. Occurrence of bending in the truss’ chord is the result of specific production technology assumed by the designer and producer of lattice girder’s systems. The aim of this research is to present methodology of conduct while creating numerical models that best depict the behaviour...

Load Tests of the Movable Footbridge Over the Port Canal in Ustka
PublikacjaThe paper presents the acceptance tests carried out on the open footbridge over the port canal in the Port of Ustka. The steel footbridge construction is created by a single pylon to which a movable truss span is suspended with a theoretical span of 52.3 m. The studies about load test of the object included static and dynamic extortion and measurements. In static tests the ballast was of pallets with concrete blocks. Dynamic studies...

Structural response of existing spatial truss roof construction based on Cosserat rod theory
PublikacjaPaper presents the application of the Cosserat rod theory and newly developed associated finite elements code as the tools that support in the expert-designing engineering practice. Mechanical principles of the 3D spatially curved rods, dynamics (statics) laws, principle of virtual work are discussed. Corresponding FEM approach with interpolation and accumulation techniques of state variables are shown that enable the formulation...

Investigation of stability and limit load of a truss overhead opened bridge
PublikacjaThe paper presents selected methods of determining stability and limit load of a truss top chord in opened bridges. These methods include linear buckling and non-linear static analysis based on the finite element method and algorithms based on design code procedures. The described methods were tested on an example of a steel footbridge situated in Straszyn. The results of stability analysis are compared. The results of geometrical...

Framework for Structural Health Monitoring of Steel Bridges by Computer Vision
PublikacjaThe monitoring of a structural condition of steel bridges is an important issue. Good condition of infrastructure facilities ensures the safety and economic well-being of society. At the same time, due to the continuous development, rising wealth of the society and socio-economic integration of countries, the number of infrastructural objects is growing. Therefore, there is a need to introduce an easy-to-use and relatively low-cost...

STABILITY AND LOAD BEARING CAPACITY OF A BARS WITH BUILT UP CROSS SECTION AND ELASTIC SUPPORTS
PublikacjaThe present paper is devoted to the numerical analysis and experimental tests of compressed bars with built–up cross section which are commonly used as a top chord of the roof trusses. The significant impact on carrying capacity for that kind of elements in case of out-of-plane buckling is appropriate choice of battens which are used to provide interaction between separate members. Linear buckling analysis results and nonlinear static...

The reasons of considarable deflections of roof trusses in engineering analysis
PublikacjaThe aim of the paper is to present an unconventional analysis of deformations of roof trusses of an exhibition pavilion. Structure of the main hall of the pavilion consists of repeatable span frames with steel pillars made of I-sections, fastened in the foundations and hinged supporting roof girders. The roof trusses, completed in steel construction, have undergone considerable permanent deflections. Deformations of the lower chord...

Educational and cognitive aspects of adaptation of nonuse spaces in monumental sacral objects.
PublikacjaThe area of attics and towers in historic churches in Europe are yet quite inaccessible places for visitors, shrouded in the atmosphere of mysticism, hiding many secrets. Introduction of the new public function into the non-used zones of the monumental sacral objects has many aspects including educational and cognitive ones which are discussed in the following article. The article indicates items that can be found in the zone above...

Non-Linear Analysis of Structures Utilizing Load-Discretization of Stiffness Matrix Method with Coordinate Update
PublikacjaThis paper proposes a stiffness method based structural analysis algorithm for geometrically non-linear structures. In this study, the applied load on the joints has been discretized to a sequence of a few loadings applied. Each loading step produces incremental external nodal displacements, which are added to the corresponding coordinates to get a new geometrical shape of the structure. This process is iteratively repeated until...
