Jun.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Lars Abrahamczyk

Welcome to the Chair of Advanced Structures!

Our research and teaching focuses on the system analysis of structures including derivation of suitable partial models, engineering consideration of coupling and interactions, recording and consideration of extreme and changing load conditions as well as avoidance or evaluation of collapse potential using latest technologies (tools of digital engineering). Advanced Structures not only include the structures with high risk potential, lightweight and tent constructions, but also includes the use of damping elements and the interaction phenomena in standard construction methods.

Exciting site visit at Thüringer Fernwasserversorgung »NHRE«

This year’s field trip organised by the Earthquake Damage Analysis Center and the Chair of Advanced Structures at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar took us first to the extension and refurbishment works on the Straußfurt flood retention basin – a key project under the national flood protection programme.

Chair of Advanced Structures at Earthquake Engineering Forum »EEF.26 in Sofia«

From 17 to 20 May 2026, the Chair of Advanced Structures participated in the Earthquake Engineering Forum EEF.26 in Sofia, Bulgaria, with contributions by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Lars Abrahamczyk and Dr.-Ing. Baban A. Bapir. The forum was organized by the National Earthquake Engineering Center at the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy (UACEG) under the theme “Contemporary Issues in Earthquake Engineering.”

The Chair of Advanced Structures offers projects and thesis in English and German Language. Interested students can either choose from the list of predefined topics or come up with their own ideas.
