Project duration: 1.1.2020 – 31.12.2022

Project summary:

There are many real operating conditions of transport structures that can be considered negative from various points of view. These conditions ultimately affect the operational suitability of the structure, its service life, and reliability. The project focuses on the dynamic analysis of these conditions in order to obtain relevant data for assessing issues of fatigue, service life, and reliability of structures, their optimization, and limit effects. It is based on a theoretical analysis of the dynamic interaction of vehicles with the structure in the process of excitation and response. It seeks optimal models that capture the physical essence of the phenomena. The mathematical apparatus solves numerically. It seeks suitable solution methods, creates its own algorithms and software products. It comprehensively assesses the proposed procedures in terms of convergence, stability, solution accuracy, suitability of use, and environmental relations. It uses experimental methods to verify the results of theoretical and numerical analysis. It generalizes the results for further development of science and practice.

Project summary:

Determine the dynamic response of technical seismicity caused by traffic on reference historical buildings in Slovakia through theoretical and experimental methods. Enter the results of dynamic analyses of reference buildings into a database. Create the database format on a generally accessible basis for subsequent use of advanced evaluation and prediction methods (AI, ML, NN). Summarize the standard criteria for assessing the impact of transport seismicity on historical structures abroad and create a basis for criteria for their assessment as a specific group of structures in the context of modern evaluation methods for Slovakia. Also monitor the level of vibrations as intangible emissions affecting humans on reference structures. Conduct research on vibration reduction in the form of passive vibration isolation and implement modern polymer composite-based materials in transport construction. Determine seismic resistance to the effects of transport seismicity by numerical means.Determine the dynamic response of technical seismicity caused by traffic on reference historical buildings in Slovakia through theoretical and experimental methods.

Project summary:

Numerical modeling methods have recently reached a high level of sophistication. Figuratively speaking, it is possible to model practically anything numerically. Of course, errors and mistakes are always possible, so it is necessary to verify the results of numerical simulations based on the results of experimental analyses. The proposed project involves a systematic dynamic analysis of the effects of moving loads on transport structures and their surroundings in the area of creating realistic computational models of moving vehicles, building structures, and the surrounding environment in the process of their excitation and response. In the field of structures, it analyzes critical situations and critical links. It addresses issues of the propagation of deformation and stress waves in a real rock environment and their interaction with the surrounding environment. In the field of experimentation, it will involve the design of measurement chains and technological procedures for the implementation of experimental measurements. It is expected that the scientific results achieved will be compared with the results obtained at other workplaces around the world.
