Program description:
The programme in Civil Engineering Sciences covers structural, geotechnical, transportation and water infrastructure engineering, in strong contact with the industry.
Research topics in structural engineering include building physics; design, diagnostics and sustainability of building materials and constructions; fire safety; field testing and computational design of bridges and building structures; fragility of structures subjected to extreme actions, including earthquakes; structural stability; topology optimization; biomechanics; masonry, cable and tent structures; geotechnics; rock mechanics and engineering geology. As to infrastructure engineering, research topics are offered in hydrodynamics of rivers and lakes; ecohydraulics; hydrology of rural and urban catchments; hydrogeology and ecosystems; water and wastewater treatment infrastructure and technology; pollution and nutrient transport in natural waters; river basin management; design and monitoring of road and railway track structure. Research at the Faculty is supported by accredited testing laboratories for building materials, structures, rocks and fluids; state-of-the-art field equipment for survey and monitoring, as well as specialised professional software.
Note that we offer two PhD programmes – in Civil Engineering and in Earth Sciences – in continuation of the three master programs. By choosing the research topic in your application, you are implicitly selecting the respective PhD programme.
