Research Programmes

The School's research programme focuses on the planning, design, production, construction, monitoring, inspection and management of structures ranging from domestic and utility buildings to all kinds of civil engineering projects. In addition to promoting inter-university research in disciplines such as materials science, structural design, structural mechanics, building physics, computer science and business administration in the technical sector, a primary aim of the programme is to achieve an integrated approach to design and research issues and technology development.

The following 3 research programmes are distinguished (Research Programmes and participants):

Co-operation
 

The School has cooperative links with research institutes in the Netherlands and abroad. Dutch partners include TNO Building and Subsoil Engineering and Delft Geotechnics. The English-language quarterly HERON is a joint publication by the Research School Integral Design of Structures and TNO Building and Subsoil Engineering. Effective networks are in place with university research groups and institutes in other countries.
The school has links with the Conceil International du Bâtiment (CIB), the Réunion Internationale des Laboratoires d’Essais et de Recherches sur les Matériaux et les Constructions (RILEM), the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE), the Fédération Internationale du Béton (FIB) also called the International Federation for Structural Concrete, and the International Association for Computer Methods and Advances in Geomechanics.
