Karol Brzeziński, PhD

I am a civil engineer with a background in infrastructure engineering. I work at the Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering. The main field of my research interest deals with numerical modeling (FEM, DEM) and statistical analysis. I modeled whole structures, such as column-supported embankments, large-scale discrete systems (vehicle dynamic response to the pavement roughness, coarse aggregates), and micro-scale discrete systems (fine particles aggregation, sand grain surface asperities). The majority of my industrial expertise is related to pavement structure design, especially mechanistic-empirical pavement design, and the fatigue life estimation of materials and structures. I teach about earthworks, the basics of railroad construction, finite element method, and its application to the mechanistic-empirical design of pavement structures. Furthermore, in research projects, I am responsible for results validation and statistical analysis. You can find more information below (also information and materials for my students).
