Given the large amount of energy and resources consumed by structures and the build environment, the development of methodologies and principles that allow for the optimal allocation of resources into the structural performance and their implementation into the daily engineering practice constitute the major challenge for ongoing and future research in the field of structural engineering.

 

Structures should be designed, operated, maintained and rebuild such as to support societal functionality and enhance sustainable societal development during their service life. The main objective of the successful postdoc candidate will be the assessment and further development of structural design standards towards more scientific consistency and efficiency
