As part of the Natural Hazards and Risks in Structural Engineering master’s degree program (NHRE), the Chair of Advanced Structures (KTW) and Earthquake Damage Analysis Center (EDAC) at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar organized an excursion to the university’s completely gutted building at Coudraystraße 7.

The chair of Advanced Structures at Bauhaus University Weimar has received a grant of 180,000 Euros from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), within the framework of the "University partnerships with Iraq 2022-2023" program under the project title "Multiscale consequence studies for hazard impact on structures in Iraq“.

As part of a future cooperation between Leviat and the Bauhaus University Weimar, Matthias Roik and Diego Velásquez gave a lecture on "Rear-ventilated façades" and "A concept for fixing heavy façades in earthquake zones" to the Master's students in the lecture series "Risk projects and evaluation of structures".

In cooperation with the eLearning Lab “eLab” of BUW, and support from the project partner Ruhr University Bochum (RUB), the project coordinator Bauhaus-University Weimar (BUW) organized and implemented a training course from 27th September to 1st October 2021 in Weimar. Digital tools, as well as possible application scenarios in teaching including a comprehensive overview of the possibilities and offers of eLearning and Moodle functionalities were presented.

The chair of Advanced Structures is participating in summaery 2021 with three interesting projects. These projects deals with specialized topics in the field of climate change and earthquake engineering. Feel free to check them out!

We are pleased to announce that M.Sc. Kemmar Webber (PhD Student at the Chair of Advanced Structures) has been recently awarded a scholarship "Research Grants - Doctoral Programmes in Germany, 2021/22" by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). He is actively working on the research topic "Optimized Piped and Spherically Voided Concrete Frame Elements".

The professorship is glad to announce the commencement of Erasmus+ project: PARFORCE.

The professorship organized 3rd workshop of the research group on "Effects of climate change on buildings and neighborhoods" on 20.04.2021.

The professorship will participates in the course "Forecast Engineering" with the project "Assessment of Unreinforced Masonry Structures Under Extra Ordinary Horizontal Action" at the Bauhaus Summer School 2021.

The professorship organized 2nd workshop of the research group on "Effects of climate change on buildings and neighborhoods" on 12.11.2020.
