At the Institute of Concrete Structures, scientists deal with the mechanical properties of reinforced concrete in all its facets - various reinforcements, low to high-strength concretes, stresses reaching from continuous static loads to highly dynamic loads, new construction and construction within existing structures - in experiments and theoretical works at the material level up to complete buildings.

Die Optimierung der technischen, wirtschaftlichen und rechtlichen Zusammenhänge im gesamten Bauprozesses sowie auch alle die Bewirtschaftung von Bauwerken betreffenden Aktivitäten wie Planung, Neubau, Umbau, Sanierung, Abbruch, Recycling unter Aspekten der Nachhaltigkeit und Wirtschaftlichkeit sind Forschungsthemen am Institut für Baubetriebswesen.

The Institute of Building Construction is at the forefront of exploring the building envelope of the future, aiming to achieve high architectural appeal, astonishing transparency, and circular sustainability while reducing energy demand. With a focus on Glass & Facade Construction, the Institute’s research mission aims to create safe, sustainable, and intelligent glass and facade structures through a combination of experimental, analytical, and numerical investigations.

At the Institute of Mechanics and Shell Structures methods for modelling and simulating micro-heterogeneous materials under static and dynamic loads are developed. Areas of application of the developed methods are biomechanics and multicomponent materials, such as multi-phase steel, textile membrane and textile-reinforced concrete.

At the Institute of Construction Informatics an interdisciplinary research team develops new methods for building information modelling, cyber physical systems, virtual engineering labs, information logistics and multi-models. The objective is to support cooperative processes between the involved trades of civil construction from planning to operation.

Research at the Chair of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering focuses on experimental and theoretical description of soils, and numerical studies of geotechnical tasks, including building ground dynamics and problems from surface mining, such as parameter determination or stability calculation of embankments.

The focus of research in timber engineering is on the patented moulded wood process. Other developments concern: high performance timber structures with technical fibres, synthetic resin densified wood and thermowood. The aim is to improve the load-bearing behaviour, ductility and durability, and to increase material efficiency.

Research areas of the Chair of Applied Geology at the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering are the usage, the weathering, the conservation and restoration of natural stone on buildings and objects of cultural heritage (sculptures, small monuments, tombstones etc.) and the characterisation of historical mortars.

The focus of research is the development of resource-saving construction methods in steel and composite construction. This includes the assessment of sustainability in the multi-storey construction, the development of hybrid steel lightweight constructions, the use of advanced high-strength construction steels and methods for evaluating and retrofitting of old steel structures.
