Scientific and technological developments in the field of structural projects are directly linked to the need for technical, economic and social development in the context of European integration. The significant improvements in the strength of engineering materials along with the modern methods of analysis and construction create new conditions for economically and technically feasible solutions in the structural projects.
Meanwhile the various infrastructure projects (bridges, tanks, airports, underground projects, subways, tunnels, gas transmission projects, etc.), require specialized scientific and technological knowledge for a thorough analysis and planning. Important structural issues are also related to the maintenance-reinforcement of existing constructions and monuments. The intense seismicity of Greece creates additional technical and economic problems that can be dealt with the reliable analysis and proper planning of the structural projects.
a) To specialize civil engineers in the modern methods and techniques of the interdisciplinary approach, cooperation and research in the field of analysis and design of structures to cover the growing needs of Greece’s public and private sector, as well as European or other countries’ in the scientific areas of the Programme.
b) To in-depth train scientists to become capable of producing new knowledge in research centers and university institutions at home and abroad. The programme emphasizes on modern methods of analysis as well as on the design of structural projects based on the New Greek Regulations and Eurocodes.
