Guided tour of the Structural engineering laboratory will be held at Tampere University of Technology on Thursday 2nd June at 13.15 - 15.45. Symposium fee includes the laboratory tour. Participation requires registration.

At the research unit of Structural Engineering is carried out applied and basic research including product development in collaboration with the building industry. Purposeful research has been conducted in cooperation with the industry for over 20 years and the cooperation has allowed our researchers to gain wide experience and knowledge from various areas of Structural Engineering.

Approximately 30 researchers work at the research unit of Structural Engineering. About two-thirds of the laboratory's income is derived from commissioned research. This extensive external funding is an indication of the fact that the research activities carried out at the Structural Engineering are very useful to the building industry.

Building physics is one of the examined research areas. The building physics research group performs different research and tests associated with temperature and moisture behaviour of structures, indoor air quality and energy consumption. Research projects may
include many different types of studies and tests tailored for the project in question. Services in building physics can be divided into four main groups: material tests, structural tests, research of buildings and calculation modelling.
