Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gerhard Zirwas

Fields of work

Damage from structural vibrations, vibration responses of slim structures (stairs, bridges), vibrations from production facilities. The protection of historical monuments increasingly requires the use of vibration measurement technology on site.

Areas of application

• Building structure (bell towers, vaults, ceilings, stoops, subsoil excitation)
• Survey (vibration behavior, structure parameters)
• Structural analysis (static-constructive)
• Maintenance concepts (ringing parameters, resonance distances)

Technology transfer / Research / Practical relevance

• Technical support for planning offices and building departments (architects, engineering offices, building construction offices)
• Practical relevance of the University (metrological and technical technology transfer, cooperation with leading, specialized private offices)

Equipment

Vibration meters
