Building Mechanics and Building Dynamics

Before the structural design of buildings, a structural mechanical analysis is conducted. Based on an appropriate model, the relevant stress states under both static and dynamic loads can be calculated and assessed.

Teaching at the Chair

Prof. Franze employs a Flipped Classroom approach—experience interactive learning! With engaging videos, you deepen your knowledge before the lecture and are well-prepared for practical exercises!
