Welcome message

Dear Participants,

On behalf of Cracow University of Technology (CUT), in a great pleasure to welcome you to the 17th International Symposium on the Human-Induced Vibrations and Seismic Influence on Structures to be held in Krakow, Poland, on June 10-12, 2026. The Chair of Structural Mechanics and Materials of Civil Engineering Faculty (Cracow University of Technology), in cooperation with the Committee on Civil Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Polish Group of Seismic and Paraseismic Engineering, will jointly organize the Symposium.

The main objective of the Symposium is to bring together researchers and engineers devoted to the effects of natural and human-induced seismicity, as well as traffic-induced vibrations in civil engineering, on a common platform.

We hope that the 17th International Symposium on the Human-Induced Vibrations and Seismic Influence on Structures will have a significant impact on the development of contemporary analytical, numerical, and experimental methods in natural and human-induced seismicity in civil engineering problems, and will also create an opportunity to open a forum for discussion and collaboration among the participants.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Krakow in June 2026

Prof. Tadeusz Tatara (General Chair)
Dr. Izabela Drygała (OC Chair)
