About the Editors
Zbigniew Zembaty, Ph.D., D.Sc. Professor. E-mail: z.zembaty@po.edu.pl. He
has been working since 1980 at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture
of Opole University of Technology (Poland) where he is currently the Dean and
Head of Department of Structural Engineering and Mechanics. He is an author or
co-author of a book and about 100 other publications including 43 covered by
Science Citation Index (core collection) with 327 citations and respective h-index
14. The main areas of scientific research cover civil engineering structural
dynamics, random vibrations, inverse problems, seismic engineering, geophysics.
Co-editor of two Springer books: Seismic Behaviour and Design of Irregular and
Complex Civil Structures II (2016), Seismic Behaviour and Design of Irregular and
Complex Civil Structures III (to appear in 2020). Cooperation with Milan
Polytechnic, Trento University (Italy) and Israel Institute of Technology, including
frequent participation in the respective doctoral schools with lectures on random
vibrations. Participation in scientific committees of numerous international conferences including World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (16th WCEE in
Santiago, Chile in 2017). Actual active research in investigating rotational component of seismic ground motion. Member of special int. group IWGoRS which
deals with introducing the so-called 6-component seismology and seismic engineering.
Damian Bęben, Ph.D., D.Sc. Associate Professor. E-mail: d.beben@po.edu.pl. He
is the Chairman of the scientific council of the civil engineering and transport
discipline at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Opole University of
Technology (Poland). An author and co-author of three books and over 180 publications on the national and international conferences as well as in the
peer-reviewed scientific journals indexed in the Journal Citation Reports. He has an
h-index of 12, according to the Web of Science Core Collection. He is a reviewer in
many scientific international journals and the National Centre for Research and
Development; Member of the International Association for Bridge Maintenance and
Safety (IABMAS); International Association for Life-Cycle Civil Engineering
(IALCCE); International Association of Computer Science and Information
