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.

eTeach Annual Conference 2025

The Chair of Advanced Structures, in collaboration with Professor Heinrich Söbke (Chair of Resource Management), contributed to the 2025 eTeach Annual Conference with a presentation and poster titled “Virtual Learning Spaces for Engineering Education”. The main idea which focuses on representing large-scale experiments and laboratories within a virtual environment is developed through the ongoing impulse project “EviLab3D”.

University Prize for Master Thesis

Ikrarmullah Qayyum has won the university prize for his master’s thesis titled "Earthquake Performance Assessment of a Cultural Heritage Building: Case Study of Castle Trakošćan, Croatia" under the supervision of Jun.-Prof. Lars Abrahamczyk and M.Sc. Aanis Uzair. We congratulate him on this achievement and wish him all the best for his future endeavors.

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.
