17th International Symposium on Human-Induced Vibrations and Seismic Influence on Structures
10-12 June 2026
A seminar that has been bringing together academic researchers and civil engineering specialists for over 50 years! And all of this in the beautiful and historic city of Kraków!
The Symposium will be held in a hybrid format – in-person and online!
General Topics
Theoretical and experimental methods of analysis of the dynamic issues of civil engineering structures. Some of the problems considered to be of interest for the Symposium are:
Natural and Human-Induced Seismicity
Earthquakes are caused both naturally and by human activities, including mining, construction processes, and machinery operations
Traffic-Induced Vibrations
Impact of vibrations from trains, trams, and cars on buildings and people inside them
Seismic performance of civil engineering structures
Aspects related to the seismic resistance of engineering structures: buildings, bridges, and industrial constructions
Advances in Computational Dynamics
Numerical analyses, computer simulations, advanced linear and nonlinear analyses, and material-related issues
Structural Health Monitoring
Structural monitoring, diagnostics of structures, quality control, damage detection, and damping methods
Advances in Dynamic Experimental Technique
New sensors, modern measurement equipment, advanced measurement methods, and structural vibration detection
