Adam Wysokowski
Prof. PhD. Eng. Adam Wysokowski – graduate of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology (1978). In the years 1983–1986 he worked at the Wrocław Road and Bridge Construction Company. His most important professional achievement from this period is the viaduct over the Nysa Kłodzka valley using innovative – at that time – prestressed bolt connections.
Based on his dissertation “The operational strength of steel spans of road bridges”, he obtained a Ph.D. in technology from the Wrocław University of Science and Technology in 1986.
From 1986 to 2007 – employed at the Road and Bridge Research Institute in Warsaw (IBDiM), where he headed the Bridge, Concrete and Aggregate Research Centre in Żmigród (IBDiM branch). In 2003, for his habilitation thesis (Warsaw University of Technology) “Durability of steel bridges as a function of fatigue and corrosion phenomena” he was awarded the Minister of Infrastructure Award. He completed scientific internships in Australia, Japan, and the USA, among others. His research interests focus mainly on the issues of maintenance and durability of engineering structures.
In the years 1989-2000 he was the main coordinator of the Bridge Management System. He cooperates with the European Association of Road Laboratories (FEHRL) and is a long-term EU expert in the field of Sustainable Surface Transport, Horizon 2020, and currently Horizon Europa.
Under his leadership, many recommendations for bridge engineering concerning modern technologies and research methods as well as estimating the impact of corrosion on the load-bearing capacity of steel bridges were developed and issued.
Active member of domestic and foreign engineering associations, including PZITB, PSTB, IABSE, ASCE, SEI.
Since 2004 he has been the head of the Department of Roads, Bridges and Railways at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Environmental Engineering of the University of Zielona Góra. In 2020. received the academic title of professor.
Author of numerous technical projects and expert opinions in the field of civil engineering and transport, as well as the monograph “Durability of steel bridges” awarded in the NOT “Technicus-2023” Competition.
