This paper concerns research into the use of 3D-printed gyroid structures as a modern thermal insulation material in construction. The study focuses on the analysis of open-cell gyroid structures and their effectiveness in insulating external building envelopes. Gyroid composite samples produced using DLP 3D-printing technology were tested to determine key parameters such as thermal conductivity (λ), thermal resistance (R) and heat transfer coefficient (U) according to ISO 9869-1:2014.

There is a noticeable lack of analysis in the scientific literature regarding the geometry of 3D-printed structures in terms of their thermal properties. The aim of this paper was to analyze printed samples of prototype thermal insulation composite structures and their potential for use in building applications.

This paper shows current trends in testing and numerical analysis of dynamic loading in relation to a real frame foundation for a turbogenerator set. The analysis of the machine's foundations, which are subjected to static and dynamic loads, is a complex problem combining the issues of geotechnics, structural engineering, and vibration theory. The authors present a case study of the assessment of the foundation's technical condition.
