Aims

The aim is to make the student in the doctor study program acquainted with new trends in the field of bearing structures of building constructions, that can be applied to new development and redevelopment. The student deepens his knowledge of the theory and design of bearing structures of building constructions. By agreement with the students, emphasis can be put on the issue studied.
