Numerical analysis methods for handling the formulated models make an integrated part of this research. This includes development of finite element solution methods.
Experimental work is undertaken to support or verify the modelling.
The objects of research span from the micro structure of the materials to the total building structure interacting with its environment. Actual research topics are structural stability, damping mechanisms, limit state analysis. Moreover, development of material models are in focus. These models concern cement based fiber materials, concrete, timber and granular materials. New and better structural materials are developed as spin-off from the material modelling.
