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 our Faculty offers 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.
