Short description: the general goal of the project was to develop the Polish economy by supporting scientific activities for the needs of entrepreneurs and thus providing the most modern technological solutions for the economy.

On behalf of ITB, three research departments took part in the project (Fire Research Department, Acoustics Department, Building Structures and Building Elements Engineering Department), which carried out four research topics:

  • assessment of extreme snow and wind load values ​​in structure diagnostics,
  • design support as for fire conditions, software procedures included in Eurocodes EN 1991-1-2, EN 1992-1-2 and EN 1995-1-2,
  • principles of using fire safety engineering to design fire ventilation systems for road tunnels,
  • methods of testing and assessing the acoustic comfort of residential buildings.
