Structural engineering

Students who choose to specialize in Structural Engineering learn about:

• materials such as: steel, concrete, wood and aluminium;
• how to calculate and design buildings, bridges and other structures at sea and on shore;
• construction loads in different environments;
• maximum load forces as regards wind, waves, currents, and earthquakes;
• impact loads and collisions.

Design and calculation of strength are central topics, as well as the development and use of information technology and advanced calculation programmes. Laboratories and workshops are actively used to display and understand the behaviour of materials and structures, often connected to projects from the building, offshore, light metal and car industries.
