Competencies
Research
Professor Jochen Köhler has been a professor at the Institute for Structural Engineering since 2016, with a research focus on structural reliability and engineering decision-making under uncertainty. His work addresses some of the most pressing challenges in civil engineering, seeking to enhance the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the built environment.
Professor Köhler is President of the Joint Committee on Structural Safety (JCSS), an internationally recognized expert committee operating under the auspices of professional organizations such as IABSE, fib, RILEM, ECCS, IAAS, and CIB. In this role, he leads global initiatives that advance probabilistic approaches to structural safety and promote harmonized standards for engineering practices. He is also an active member of national and international standardization committees and serves as a board member of the Building Sector of Standards Norway, contributing to the development of structural codes and guidelines.
In recent years, Professor Köhler's research has concentrated on several key areas:
- Risk-Based Calibration of Design Codes: Developing advanced methodologies for the calibration of design codes to ensure an optimal balance between safety, performance, and cost-efficiency, reflecting modern risk-based approaches.
- Integrated Design and Maintenance of Deteriorating Structures: Formulating frameworks that enable the integrated assessment and management of structural systems over their lifecycle, with a focus on aging infrastructure.
- Probabilistic Methods for Bridge Safety and Maintenance: Enhancing decision support for bridge assessments through probabilistic models that account for uncertainties in structural condition and external influences, leading to improved maintenance strategies.
- Resource-Efficient and Safe Structural Design: Innovating design approaches that optimize material usage while maintaining or improving safety levels, contributing to more sustainable construction practices.
- Probabilistic Representation of Structural Loads: Refining models for the probabilistic representation of structural loads, ensuring that uncertainties in environmental and operational loads are accurately captured in design and assessment processes.
Professor Köhler’s contributions extend beyond academia to practical implementation, influencing engineering practices, public safety, and the advancement of international engineering standards. His leadership and expertise make him a key figure in shaping the future of structural engineering.
