Welcome to the Division of Structural Engineering
The field of Structural Engineering deals with principles and methods for design of
building and civil engineering structures. The objective in design is to create structures
with adequate safety and serviceability under the influence of the relevant loads and
actions during the
lifetime of the structure.
The central area of education in Structural Engineering deals with behaviour, load bearing
capacity and methods for design of structural elements and joints in concrete, steel,
timber and masonry. Principles of design and models for loads and actions are also
included as well as computer aided draughting and design. Design of structural systems for
houses, bridges, tunnels and other civil engineering structures is an important part of
the teaching activities.
