Welcome to the Chair of Structural Engineering – Concrete Structures and Bridge Design at ETH Zürich. The Chair is directed by Prof. Dr. Walter Kaufmann since 2014.

We educate competent, responsible and self-confident structural engineers that are fit for the challenges of today and tomorrow. We investigate the behaviour of structural concrete in order to exploit the real strength of existing structures, invent innovative structural solutions and develop efficient construction methods including digital design methods and fabrication processes. We actively participate in national and international professional societies, expert bodies and code commissions, contributing to the solution of our society’s challenges.
