Research Group Structural Engineering and Composite Structures (SECS)

Composite and hybrid structures for sustainable structures

FigureComp01

Research on integral solutions including structural design, execution and sustainability with focus on composite structures in steel, concrete and timber.

Research to enable sustainability and ressource-efficiency

Experimental and numerical analysis

The research is investigating on steel-concrete composite beams, columns, and shear connectors. Thereby the potential of high-performance materials as fibre reinforced concrete, high strength concrete and steel are invented. Another focus is on the further development of advanced design methods.
