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.

Uzbek delegation visits the Bauhaus University Weimar

On Friday, August 23rd, Bauhaus University Weimar welcomed a prestigious delegation from Uzbekistan, comprising 12 high-ranking members from various sectors, including science, government, and construction. The aim of the meeting was to discuss ways to strengthen cooperation and enhance the exchange of knowledge in research and teaching.

Students learn how to use robotic arms in practice: Fellowship acquired for »RoboTec«

Professor Jan Willmann and Junior Professor Lars Abrahamczyk have successfully applied for one of nine fellowships from the Stifterverband and the Thuringian Ministry of Economics with their project »Robotic Tectonics – Robot-based teaching and learning environment for automated construction processes« (RoboTec). Around 50,000 euros are now available for an interdisciplinary teaching format designed to teach students how to use robotic arms in practice. The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar has already benefited several times from the funding for innovations in digital university teaching in Thuringia in order to develop new teaching projects.

German-Iraqi Partnership - Research Stay at Bauhaus-University Weimar

As part of the ongoing project titled "Towards Earthquake Mitigation in Iraq: EMS-98 Adopted Vulnerability Assessment of Existing Buildings," a research stay in Germany was conducted under the DAAD-funded Ta’ziz Short-Term Measures 2024 program. Coordinated by Bauhaus-University Weimar (BUW) in partnership with the University of Sulaimani (UoS) and Tishk International University (TIU), the project aims to enhance the seismic resilience of buildings in northern Iraq through collaboration and knowledge exchange between German and Iraqi academic institutions.

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.
