Institute of Building Construction

The damage-free execution and usage of buildings requires a structurally permeated and practice-oriented planning by competent side. Knowledge of the material-specific, physical and usage-related boundary conditions is a basic prerequisite for this. In co-operation with other research institutes and the industry, an attempt is made to collect these parameters in their entirety in order to make these findings available to the industry and the user as well as to convey them to the students within the framework of teaching.
The aim is, despite quality improvement, to bring about a simplification in the design and methodology of structural engineering, taking into account the accepted rules of technology and scientific knowledge. The combination of practical building and theoretical physics should be done in the context of structural engineering.
