Chair of Solid Construction
The Chair of Concrete Structures offers courses in the civil engineering degree programs leading to the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and Master of Science (M.Sc.) degrees.
The modules in the Bachelor's degree course cover the fundamentals of design and construction in reinforced concrete construction as well as an introduction to prestressed concrete construction. The Master's degree course focuses on prestressed concrete construction and special areas of solid construction. In addition, courses are offered in the fields of bridge construction, structural design in existing structures and FE applications in solid construction. Construction site excursions are regularly organized to extend and deepen the courses.
Further opportunities for in-depth study exist within the framework of student research projects and final theses. These are often related to current research topics being worked on at the Chair of Concrete and Masonry Structures. Furthermore, practical tasks with a scientific approach are offered.
Research profile
