The Chair of Modelling and Simulation of Structures was established by Prof. Erhard Hampe and thus continues the tradition of steel and prestressed concrete construction. With effect from April 2010, Prof. Guido Morgenthal took over the chair from Prof. Erich Raue (Solid Construction I). Since April 2012, he has also succeeded to the Chair of Transport Engineering (Prof. Ursula Freundt). The renaming to ‘Modelling and Simulation of Structures’ is intended to reflect, on the one hand, the pursuit of cross-material design and, on the other, the new modelling and simulation tools in structural engineering. This marks a reorientation, particularly in the field of research, whilst incorporating the department’s tradition and accumulated experience.
The chair is supported by the “Versuchstechnische Einrichtung” at the Institute of Structural Engineering, ensuring that experimental investigations can continue to be carried out in the future.
The Chair maintains extensive links with industry and is available to assist with the resolution of specific problems in both research and development and structural design work.
