Research colloquium: Mechanics of bridges – sustainable retrofitting and resource-efficient new buildings

@Structural analysis

As part of the research colloquium for final theses, doctoral and habiliation candidates, we cordially invite you on Tuesday, 25.11.2025 at 16:30 in room 3516 (Mönchebergstr. 7). Prof. Dr.-Ing. Detlef Kuhl, M.Sc. Daniela Masarczyk and B.Sc. Charlott Rottmann will present perspectives of sustainable bridge design and efficient retrofitting of bridges in their lecture entitled "Mechanics of bridges – sustainable retrofitting and resource-efficient new buildings". We look forward to seeing you there!
