SDU.Structures

SDU.Structures is a research group within the Civil and Architectural Engineering Section at SDU. The group is led by Associate Prof. Henrik Brøner Jørgensen and focus on research within structural Engineering. The research is characterised by a focus on developing design models and assessment methods that can be used in practice. This approach requires experimental and theoretical research in tandem, where models are evaluated and confirmed through physical testing. The group is internationally recognised for its work on developing plasticity based models, and is active in the following domains of concrete structures: behaviour and design methods for structural concrete, design of innovative structures, shear in reinforced concrete, shear in prestressed beams, design and strength of connections, serviceability design of connections, strengthening of existing structures, residual load-bearing capacity of damaged existing structures, and design and capacity of robotically 3d-printed concrete structures. The experimental research is conducted in the structural laboratory, which is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for experimental research on concrete structures. The Group also provides teaching for the BSc and MSc in Civil Engineering and The MSc in Structural Engineering.
