Introduction
Structural Engineering is always one of the most
important areas in civil engineering. Its main research
activities include the analysis and design of civil
structures such as buildings, bridges, dams and towers.
Since the founding of the Department of Civil Engineering in 1945, professors with structural expertise have
been teaching and researching in the structural engineering area. Regarding the establishment of the Structural
Engineering Group, it can be traced back to the initial
admission cohort of postgraduate students in the
Department of Civil Engineering. Up to the present, the
number of postgraduate students in the structural
engineering group has gradually increased. Currently,
more than 45 students enroll in the Masters course
annually, including people in the entrance examination.
On the other hand, on average, more than 5 PhD
students graduate from the group each year. In order to
promote the internationalization of the structural
engineering group, we also recruit international Masters
and PhD students, mainly from Southeast Asia. The
number of fulltime staff members also grows annually.
Currently, we have 14 staff, with expertise in all areas
related to structural and material engineering.
