Studies
The Chair of Structural Concrete offers lectures in the courses of civil engineering with the degrees Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and Master of Science (M.Sc.).
The modules in the bachelor's degree course include the fundamentals of design and construction of reinforced concrete structures as well as an introduction to prestressed concrete. In the master's degree course, the focus is on prestressed concrete construction and on special topics in structural concrete. In addition, lectures are offered on topics such as bridge construction, assessment and retrofitting of existing structures as well as finite element analysis in structural concrete. In order to complete and enhance the lectures, study trips to construction site are carried out periodically.
Further specialisation is possible within the scope of research papers and theses. These are often related to current research topics, which are dealt with at the Chair of Structural Concrete. Furthermore, practical tasks with scientific challenge are offered.
Modules in the civil engineering bachelor's degree course and the civil engineering dual bachelor's degree course – FPO 2022
| 4th semester (dual: 6th semester) | Structural Concrete I Compulsory module | 4 hours per week of a semester (6 ECTS credit points) |
| 5th and 6th semester (dual: 7th and 8th semester) | Structural Concrete II Compulsory elective module | 8 hours per week of a semester (12 ECTS credit points) |
The compulsory module Structural Concrete I is part of the 2rd term of the bachelor's degree course. Tutorials are provided accompanyingly to the lectures and exercise courses.
The compulsory elective module Structural Concrete II according to FPO 2022 is part of the course specialisation Structural Engineering in the 3rd term of the bachelor's degree course.
Modules in the civil engineering bachelor's degree course and the civil engineering dual bachelor's degree course – PO 2013
| 6th semester (dual: 8th semester) | Structural Concrete II Compulsory elective module | 4 hours per week of a semester (6 ECTS credit points) |
The compulsory elective module Structural Concrete II according to PO 2013 is part of the 3rd term of the bachelor's degree course. It is targeted at students with course specialisation in structural engineering. For profound specialisation in structural engineering it is recommended to take the elective modules Baustatik III and Stahlbau II in combination with Structural Concrete II.
Modules in the civil engineering master's degree course – FPO 2022
The compulsory module/compulsory elective modules of the master's degree course require knowledge of the contents of the modules Structural Concrete I and Structural Concrete II of the bachelor's degree course as well as good knowlegde in engineering and stuctural mechanics.
The module Structural Concrete is a compulsory module for students with course specialisation Structural Engineering or Building Construction.
| 1st semester | Structural Concrete Compulsory module/Compulsory elective module | 4 hours per week of a semester (6 ECTS credit points) |
| 2nd semester | Bridge Construction Compulsory elective module | 4 hours per week of a semester (6 ECTS credit points) |
| 1st or 3rd semester | FEA in Composite Bridge Construction and Structural Concrete Compulsory elective module | 4 hours per week of a semester (6 ECTS credit points) |
| 1st or 3rd semester | Assessment and Retrofitting of Existing Structures Compulsory elective module | 4 hours per week of a semester (6 ECTS credit points) |
The Chair of Stuctural Concrete uses the learning platform moodle to provide teaching materials and to send messages. You will receive the required course enrollment key in the respective lecture.
