  2. FACULTY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Faculty of Civil Engineering comprises three research institutes • Institute of Building Engineering • Institute of Geotechnics and Hydro-engineering • Institute of Civil Engineering

  3. Institute of Building Engineering consists of following divisions: • Concrete Structures • Metal Structures • General Building Engineering • Building Materials, Timber Structures and Historical Construction • Building Physics and Computer Aided Design • Construction Methods and Managements

  4. INSTITUTE OF BUILDING ENGINEERING Major research activities • Comprehensive testing and technical evaluation of building structures • Non-destructive testing of building structures and materials • Evaluation of cracking behaviour of concrete composites using acoustic emission • Conservation and strengthening of timber, masonry and stone historical structures • Testing mechanical and physicochemical properties of historical building materials • Structures with glued laminated timber – study of bearing capacity, stiffness, stability, modeling and strengthening

  5. INSTITUTE OF BUILDING ENGINEERING Major research activities • Rheology of concrete, fracture mechanics, rigidity of cracked elements • Limit states of RC and prestressed concrete elements • Calculation methods for concrete bulks, theoretical and experimental investigation on silos, cooling towers, chimneys, shells • Experimental investigation on models of prestressed concrete columns and girders • Strength and stability of metal columns and beams • Theoretical and experimental studies on limit states of 3-D structures

  6. INSTITUTE OF BUILDING ENGINEERING Major research activities • Theoretical and experimental methods for safety and reliability verification of steel structures • Evaluation of critical states in thin-walled metal structures with imperfections • Destructive loads of quasi-brittle cracking of steel elements

  7. INSTITUTE OF BUILDING ENGINEERING Major research activities • Technology of building materials - modification of material structure and properties • Ceramic materials, bioceramics, brittle materials • Modifications of cement, concrete and mortar due to corrosion resistance • Rheological methods in optimisation of properties of binding materials
