Purpose An analysis is presented of the use of material and construction solutions used in construction, mainly residential, for the construction of OC (civil defence) shelters. Design/methodology/approach The article presents procedures for designing reinforced concrete structures that make it possible to properly determine the load capacity of critical sections. In the present work, a study of the...
Purpose Data for analysis and scientific interpretation was obtained by conducting a qualitative study in an industrial setting, using the BOST questionnaire – Toyota management principles in questions. The foundation of the research was the Eastern, particularly Japanese philosophy of the approach to production, expressed in the participation of the entire workforce in the evaluation and improvement...
Purpose A construction site is a space where construction workers use the right materials, tools and machinery. They are required to have the knowledge and skills to work safely, as their behaviour has a huge impact on the safety of the entire construction site. Findings All activities affecting the safety of the construction site should be preceded by a review of the legal conditions in the field...
Purpose The interest in the social aspects of work safety results because the human factor plays a key role in the causes of accidents at work in construction. Statistical data for Poland confirm that organisational and human causes, in particular those related to improper behaviour of employees, account for the highest share in the structure of causes of accidents at work according to the TOL classification...
Purpose: of this paper is to discuss the problem of culture in the workplace, which has been becoming increasingly popular recently. Findings: Culture has many meanings and synonyms in the Polish language - we can talk about good manners, rules of savoir-vivre, social etiquette, or politeness. Most people intuitively know how to behave in situations outside of work. In recent years, discussions about...
Purpose: The article presents legal regulations and principles for the safe operation of buildings in winter and proposes a procedure for clearing snow from flat roofs. Findings: The Construction Law regulates the activities involving building design, construction, maintenance, and demolition and defines the operation principles of public administration bodies in these areas. Research limitations/implications:...
Purpose: The issue of shaping the attitude of employee involvement in an organisation is a relatively new area of scientific interest. Shaping employees' attitudes, understood as a conscious influence to consolidate or change them so that they are conducive to the safe operation of building objects, should be of significant importance for any organisation. Attitude is related to behaviour, the most...
Purpose: The article introduces the issue of technical safety, characterises selected activities that create hazards on construction sites and suggests ways to eliminate them. Findings: Knowledge of reliability is essential to carry out construction works. The need for the structural engineer to consider safety issues and the obligation to have a general knowledge of safety and technical safety arises...
Purpose: The article presents the possibilities of using anchoring systems in the walls of three-layer large slab panel buildings. The use of diagonal anchors allows to increase the effective anchorage depth, which significantly increases the durability of the façade textured layer. Design/methodology/approach: Pilot tests have confirmed the necessity to use an anchor system in various configurations...
Purpose: The presented article presents a numerical analysis carried out to determine the impact of an external fire taking place on the surface of the ground on the level of stress of the trench shelter casing protected by a layer of soil. Design/methodology/approach: Numerical analysis was carried out in two stages. In the first stage, a quasi-stationary distribution of the initial temperature in...
Purpose: The topic of this article is the use of anchors bonded in the outer walls of threelayer large slab panel buildings in Poland. Design/methodology/approach: Comprehensive laboratory tests of anchoring systems bonded in various configurations were carried out. On this basis, the theoretical load capacity of the new bonded anchorages can be estimated. Findings: These considerations are the aftermath...
Purpose: The aim of the article is to demonstrate the influence of errors and performance errors that affect the damage to the concert hall floor. Design/methodology/approach: When the project was launched, cracks appeared which made the floor unsuitable for further use. In order to determine the cause of the damage, the team conducted a detailed structural health analysis. Findings: The documents...
Purpose: The article present issues related to strengthening the supporting structure of swimming pool in a primary school building paying special attention to the damaged reinforced concrete pillars of supports. Design/methodology/approach: Analysis of design solutions strengthening the supporting structure of the building for further safe use. Findings: Engineers noticed multiple cracks and deformations...
The article elaborates on the provisions of the construction law, concerning the buildings necessary to ensure security and state defence, located on enclosed premises and other areas. The aim of the presented legal provisions is to facilitate investment and exploitation, as well as to limit the access to information on the mentioned infrastructure.
