It covers most aspects of Civil Engineering and Building Technology.
Structural Engineering is one of the divisions within this department, and deals with principles and methods for design of building and civil engineering structures. The research perspective at the division is on design process, system optimization and reliability, applied both for construction of new facilities and for management of existing infrastructure. Important tools are modern experimental techniques, finite element modelling and probabilistic methods, such as structural reliability analysis, which is used to handle uncertainties and risks.
