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.
18. D-A-CH Conference & DGEB Thesis Award
In a significant highlight for the Chair of Advanced Structures, MSc. Daniel Agudelo Gomez (Buro Happold), was honored with the prestigious DGEB Funding Award in recognition of his exceptional master thesis in the field of Earthquake Engineering. The Chair of Advanced Structures extends its hearty congratulations to Daniel for this remarkable achievement and is proud to have such talented individuals as part of its network.
