Marcin Krajewski

Dr. Marcin Krajewski serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Structural Mechanics at Gdańsk University of Technology, conducting experimental and numerical research on structural stability and load-bearing capacity of building components. His work bridges theoretical analysis with practical engineering applications in timber and steel construction systems.

Research interests center on structural mechanics of wooden carpentry joints, truss stability under wind loading, and composite material behavior at elevated temperatures. Key methodologies include finite element analysis, vibration-based nondestructive testing, and experimental validation of structural elements using biaxial testing machines. His investigations address critical factors like geometric imperfections, connection stiffness, and material degradation under thermal stress.

Recent publications (2022-2025) reveal consistent focus on stability analysis of log wall joints and roof trusses, with increasing emphasis on numerical modeling of friction effects and imperfection sensitivity. Work spans both traditional timber engineering (saddle-notch/dovetail joints) and modern composite systems (GFRP-reinforced concrete), demonstrating interdisciplinary approach to structural failure mechanisms.

Secured research grants include projects on wooden joint load capacity (2024), truss wind stability (2024), wood strength testing (2022), and experimental testing stands for structural connections (2022). These projects operate within the Department of Structural Mechanics framework, utilizing university laboratory facilities for experimental validation of theoretical models.
