Steel Structures

The excellent mechanical and technological properties of steel, as well as its consistent, high quality allow the realization of slender, filigree and elegant supporting structures.

The high degree of prefabrication requires in-depth knowledge of the properties of the structural elements used when designing steel structures.

Due to the large slenderness of the steel components, considerations of stability, susceptibility to vibration and fatigue are usually required.

In teaching and research, the Steel Structures Department addresses current challenges in design and construction.

Extensive services can be carried out with the available test facilities, such as component tests on steel structures or investigations in the wind tunnel.
