Welcome to the page of the Institute for Steel Construction.

Our institute is involved in teaching and academic training in Bachelor and Master programs as well as basic and applied research in the Doctoral program. The main aim of our research is to improve sustainability in construction toward Net Zero 2050. To accomplish this goal, the institute focuses on various research topics such as steel support structures for wind energy (e.g., onshore and offshore wind turbines), advanced structural materials and automated/robotic/additive construction (as one of the critical pillars of Industry 4.0 and the next construction revolution).

Humbold Research Fellow: Dr. Konstantin Zuev

Dr. Konstantin Zuev, a leading researcher in the areas of rare events analysis, network science and quantitative finance from California Institute of Technology, has been awarded a Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers. He will join the Institute for Risk and Reliability, Leibniz Universität Hannover, to collaborate with our team on a novel access to reliability analysis by harnessing recent advances in statistical, information and data sciences. We are aiming for an increase of numerical efficiency of sampling-based rare events analysis by a magnitude which enables a fast reliability assessment of very large infrastructure systems.
