The Chair focuses on the analysis, dimensioning and structural design of steel, hybrid and timber structures and concentrates on analytical, numerical and experimental research. This includes the development and application of computer-oriented methods and simulations of load-bearing structures under complex loads. The following research focuses are pursued:
Numerical simulation methods, non-linear load-bearing behavior and stability of steel structures
Numerical, computer-oriented methods are being further developed and new insights gained that enable a more precise and thus safer and more economical determination of the load-bearing behavior of steel structures and components. Computer-oriented approaches as well as design that have not yet been pursued are being examined for their suitability. In addition calculation methods based on numerical, geometrically and physically non-linear methods are being further developed. Current research topics in this context deal with:
- shear lag effect considerations in beam theory,
- stability calculations according to GMNIA,
- numerical approaches for capturing material non-linearity in structural models,
- the load-bearing behavior of additively manufactured steel components and
- the load-bearing capacity of welded plates (plate buckling).

Structural monitoring, service life assessment and rehabilitation of steel and composite structures
For existing structures, questions often arise with regard to load-bearing capacity and stability as well as serviceability. Due to the increasing volume of traffic and the associated ever-increasing traffic loads, existing bridge structures, for example, have to be checked and assessed in this respect. With a focus on steel and composite structures, investigations are carried out with regard to sensor monitoring, stability and fatigue as well as service life assessment. Recalculation concepts are sharpened and monitoring-supported design models are developed, which are based, for example, on Bayesian methods. In addition, probabilistic structural analyses are being further developed, taking into account instationarities in the underlying time-dependent data (e.g. in climate data).

Adhesive bonding in glass and metal construction
Durch die Transparenz hat der Einsatz von Glas in Gebäudefassaden einen besonderen Stellenwert eingenommen. Gleichzeitig werden jedoch hohe Ansprüche am die klimatische Regelung von Gebäuden/Innenräumen gestellt. Im Zusammenhang mit dem Klimaschutz liegt darüber hinaus ein besonderer Fokus in der Reduzierung des Nutzenenergiebedarfs von Gebäuden, die sich durch innovative Lösungssystemen und entsprechende Forschungsansätze vorantreiben lässt.
Impressionen aus themenbezogenen Forschungsarbeiten
In addition to the well-known joining techniques in building construction such as bolting and welding, adhesive bonding is considered a new possibility for joining technology. In order to assess the durability of bonded structures, various non-destructive analysis methods are being investigated in order to draw conclusions about the load-bearing behavior and load-bearing capacity of the bonded joints, taking into account various climatic influences. The resulting findings are also used to realistically characterize the load-bearing behaviour on a numerical level.

Polymer mortar adhesive bonds for timber construction
Bonding can be used in timber engineering to transfer high loads permanently and without slippage. In addition to industrial use, for example in the manufacture of laminated timber products, timber-wood joints (stock joints, universal finger joints, etc.) but also connections (glued-in steel bars or perforated steel sheets, etc.) are realized using adhesive bonding. The adhesive joint thickness is generally limited to less than 2 mm. Due to the chemical formulation of the adhesives used and/or to ensure full-surface bonded joints, curing must in many cases be carried out by applying pressure perpendicular to the bonded joint.
Adhesive bonds using mineral-filled polymer mortars based on epoxy resins are an alternative for increased tolerance compensation requirements and in cases where it is not possible to apply pressure. Following on from previous investigations at the IKI (Chair of Timber and Masonry Construction), the focus of the research area is on the investigation of hybrid material composites between wood and other materials such as concrete, metallic or fiber-reinforced materials. The fields of application for friction-locked, joint-filling adhesive bonds that are conceivable in construction practice are diverse and range from non-slip assembly joints and reinforcement solutions to superstructure structures for road bridges in timber-concrete composite construction.

The sensor laboratory is funded by the Thuringian Ministry of Economics, Science and Digital Society (TMWWDG) to the amount of 350,000 euros.

A laboratory (cutting, grinding, polishing, etching, light microscopy) is currently being set up at the professorship to investigate the microstructure and crystallographic features of structural steels at the microscopic level (crystallite level).

The testing facility (VTE) is an essential part of the Institute of Structural Engineering. The VTE can process research and practical tasks using state-of-the-art testing technology. The range of services extends from static and dynamic component tests to structural and load-bearing capacity investigations, as-built investigations and the monitoring of structures.
