ANDRZEJ HELOWICZ, Ph.D., is an assistant professor of science and research at Wrocław University of Technology. He graduated with a 5-year master's degree in 1998 from the Faculty of Civil Engineering at Wrocław University of Technology. For developing an author's method of measuring temperature fields in massive reinforced concrete elements during concrete hardening and for performing many tests on actual concrete structures, he received a doctoral degree in technical sciences at the same university in 2004. Since 2001, he has held the Polish Building Permit to design without limitations in the specialty of structural and civil engineering. For his ten years of work and professional experience in the design of building structures, he was awarded the Chartere Engineer CEng MIEI by the Irish Chamber of Construction in 2007.
Research interests
- Integral bridges, in particular: the design of integral bridge structures in terms of low material consumption and speed of construction; the interaction of integral bridge supports with surrounding soil; the effect of various factors on the stresses in the structural elements of integral bridges; economic gains in the design, construction and operation of integral bridges; modeling of integral bridge structures.
- Measurement and modeling of the temperature distribution of concrete hardening in massive concrete elements, in particular: analysis of the temperature fields induced by the heat of cement hydration in concrete masses, direct continuous measurement of the distribution of temperature fields induced by the heat of cement hydration in massive elements made of high-class concrete, modeling and design of the technology of concreting massive concrete elements, protection of massive concrete elements during concrete hardening, modeling of thermal processes and their effects on the distributions and stress values in concrete and steel elements.
