Advanced Structural Engineering Cluster
Overview of the Advanced Structural Engineering Cluster
Overview of the Structures Research group
Underpinned by state-of-the-art computational tools and recent major investments in our advanced structural testing and concrete durability laboratories, our research ranges from fundamental to applied aspects of structural engineering. In addition to our work on new and improved structural forms and materials, a growing theme has been on the response of structures to extreme loading including work on blast-resistance, seismic behaviour and structural robustness. Our contribution in the areas of lifetime assessment, durability and long-term behaviour continue to expand, as does our work on structural biomechanics.
Available MSc Courses
- MSc in Concrete Structures (H2A2)
- MSc in Earthquake Engineering (H2A3)
- MSc in General Structural Engineering (H2A1)
- MSc in Structural Steel Design (H2U5)
