Protection of historic buildings against vibrations
Urushadze, Shota ; Pirner, Miroš ; Bayer, Jan
The presented heritage procedure was developed in 2018-2021 as part of the NAKI project no. DG18P02OVV040, entitled 'Monuments in Motion', funded by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic. The basis for the design of this heritage procedure is the 30-year activity of Prof. Pirner, Ing. Urushadze and Ing. Bayer in the field of technical seismicity and building dynamics in general. The proposed heritage procedure is actually a methodological guide on how to proceed if there are any failures or negative effects that could be related to vibrations, as well as how to deal with them. For each of the various points of the procedure examples are given from our many years of practice. In general, these investigations involve theoretical and experimental analysis including in situ investigations, non-destructive and laboratory tests on models, using finite element modelling.\n

Experimental study of horizontal forces of pedestrian dynamics
Urushadze, Shota ; Pirner, Miroš
At present similar detailed examination of pedestrian dynamics has been brought about chiefly by the requirements of determining the loads on footbridges. In their case – contrary to bridges – the magnitude of dynamic response is more important than that of static response, as it determines also the serviceability of the footbridge with reference to pedestrian comfort. The forces frequencies of step or strides for different walking velocities is the most important for the further analysis and analysis of the mechanisms.s.

Experimental and numerical verification of vortex-induced vibration of hangers on the footbridge
Urushadze, Shota ; Pirner, Miroš ; Pospíšil, Stanislav ; Král, Radomil
The paper deals with vortex-induced oscillations of footbridge hangers at a very low wind speed. The two-spans (2x50m) reinforced concrete structure with the central pylon (25m height) is designed as the harp system of hangers with circular cross-section. The oscillations were observed at the low wind speed and the high double amplitudes has been measured. The wind-excited deformation shape corresponded to the 6th, 7th and 8th natural modes of a hanger. The individual hanger as well as thein group were analysed to estimate the dynamic response, possible aeroelastic vibration and special interference or coupling effects. It also includes proposal for the elimination of the extensive vibration. The analysis is complemented by numerical investigation using Computational Fluid Dynamics methods.

Investigations of orthotropic decks
Urushadze, Shota ; Frýba, Ladislav ; Pirner, Miroš
The investgations of orthotropic decks carried out in the Institute of Theoretivcal and Applied Mechanics,v.v.i., Academy of Sciensces of the Czech Republic, for the project of the European Union „BRIFAG“ are described. The response of orthotropic decks is studie under dynamic loads including the crack propagation, estimation of fatigue life of the bridge elements, e.t.c. It was found that the most vulenrable detail appeared at the spatial connection of the deck with cross and longitudinal beams. The most important results are shown in a a figure of stress ranges as a function of the number of stress cycles.

Dynamics of a vibration damperworking on a principle of a heavy ball rolling inside a spherical dish
Náprstek, Jiří ; Fischer, Cyril ; Pirner, Miroš
Wind excited vibrations of slender structures such as towers, masts or certain types of bridges can be reduced using passive or active vibration absorbers. If there is available only a limited vertical space to install such a device, a ball type of absorber can be recommended. In general, it is a semispherical horizontal dish in which a ball of a smaller diameter is rolling. Ratio of both diameters, mass of the rolling ball, quality of contact surfaces and other parameters should correspond with characteristics of the structure. The ball absorber is modeled as a holonomous system. Using Lagrange equations of the second type, governing non-linear differential system is carried out. The solution procedure combines analytical and numerical processes. As the main tool for dynamic stability investigation the 2nd Lyapunov method is used. The function and effectiveness of the absorber identical with those installed at the existing TV towers was examined in the laboratory.

Experimentální studie dynamiky chůze ve vertikálním a horizontálním směru
Pirner, Miroš ; Urushadze, Shota
The authors have noticed the newest observations and few analysis of excitation mechanism. They suppose that the import knowledge of the forces frequencies of step or strides for different walking velocities is the most important for the further analysis and analysis of the mechanisms. The authors received the vertical force dependence on the walking velocity, on stride length and on the weight of pedestrian. The new research step is focused onlateral horizontal forces.

Basic information serving to developed qualitatively new codes corresponding to probabilistic assessment exposed to dynamic loaded structures
Pirner, Miroš ; Fischer, Ondřej ; Marek, Pavel ; Urushadze, Shota
The first condition for a reliable structure is a well-judged design, correctly and carefully calculated, and based on authentic input values. So fare we were used to take these values from the Codes and in the case that they can very accidentally, this variability can be respected by means of a coefficient. A more realistic approach is to take into account directly the random nature of the property in question, and to describe it in probabilistic terms (by a histogram). This can be done with the use of SBRA (Simulation Based Reliability Assessment) method. Here some considerations are shown, how the actual Czech Codes should be reorganized for probabilistic design, in the case of dynamic civil engineering problems. In this paper the problems of loading are treated; the problems of structural response and some special examples are shown in the full text on CD.
