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.
World Conference on Earthquake Engineering - WCEE2024
The Chair of Advanced Structures' actively participated at the World Conference on Earthquake Engineering 2024 in Milano, Italy. Members of the team presented recent research activities, engaged in scholarly discussions, reinforced partnerships, and significantly contributed to ongoing collaboration and knowledge-sharing within the earthquake engineering community.
