About the Department
Department History
1922-03-24
After the Statute of the University of Lithuania was approved, 17 departments were established within the Faculty of Technology. At that time, there were no separate departments for structural engineering, and structural design was considered part of bridge engineering. The closest related unit was the Department of Bridges, which was responsible for teaching stone, wooden, steel, and reinforced concrete bridges.
1922-03-24
The Department of Bridges was established. The head of the department until 1940 was Ord Prof Silvestras Grinkevi膷ius.
1923-02-01
Privatdozent Pranci拧kus Mark奴nas joined the Department of Bridges. He taught reinforced concrete, supervised design projects, and designed 19 reinforced concrete bridges and 16 buildings, including four churches.
1928-10-01
J. Gabrys was appointed Junior Assistant.
1930-09-01
J. Gabrys was promoted to Senior Assistant. He supervised the design of bridges and reinforced concrete structures, taught culvert design, and authored the textbooks 鈥淐ulverts鈥� (1930) and 鈥淩einforced Concrete and Concrete Bridges鈥� (1931).
1938 m.
J. Gabrys defended his dissertation 鈥淐oncrete and Reinforced Concrete Arches鈥� at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Latvia.
1940-07-29
After the Faculty of Civil Engineering was established, the Department of Bridges and Steel Structures was created to replace the Department of Bridges. The head of the department was Assoc Prof Juozas Kuodis, who defended his doctoral dissertation in engineering sciences in Vienna in 1936.
1941 m. (Autumn)
The Department was renamed the Department of Bridges and Structures. The head of the department was Extraord Prof J. Kuodis.
After 1945 m.
After the University was re-established, the Faculty of Civil Engineering consisted of 14 departments, including the Department of Reinforced Concrete Structures and Bridges (Senior Lecturer A. Rozenbliumas). The department initially had no laboratory. D. Tovstenko and J. Kivil拧a began establishing one.
The first research space was set up in the basement, while precast floor slabs were tested in the courtyard, marking the department鈥檚 first experimental research project.
1956 m.
Teaching of reinforced concrete and related scientific research began at the Evening Division of the Kaunas Polytechnic Institute (KPI) in Vilnius.
1961 m.
The Division became the Vilnius Branch of the Kaunas Polytechnic Institute (KPI). The Reinforced Concrete Structures course belonged to the Department of Civil Engineering, headed by Assoc Prof V. Kri拧膷i奴nas.

The work consists of 5 main parts: literature analysis, comparative analysis of theoretical calculation models, analysis of experimental studies, regression analysis and probabilistic analysis. In the first chapter, main calculation algorithms are developed to determine the moment of resistance of beams. The second chapter compares the principles of the methodologies, applied assumptions and evaluated arguments. The third chapter analyzes the experimental studies conducted by other authors and the obtained test results are compared with theoretical values. The fourth chapter investigates the correlation influence of parameters on the relative bending moment capacity. The fifth chapter calculates the reliability of foreign methodologies and proposes safety coefficients, ensuring that the set of specimens meet the established reliability level. The functional dependence of probabilistic arguments and the reliability index is also analyzed.

The final Master鈥檚 thesis examines the possibilities for automating design clash detection processes by applying artificial intelligence (AI) methods in a BIM environment. The aim is to assess how AI can contribute to the digitization of design processes, increased efficiency and the growth of data value. The objective of this work is to analyze the literature, documents and technological solutions applied to automated clash detection in BIM projects using AI technologies, with the aim of increasing detection accuracy, reducing time costs, and improving the efficiency of the design process.
The analysis highlighted the importance of information integrity, structuring and effective data management, as well as the growing role of advanced technologies in this field. This study empirically investigates the potential applications of AI technologies in the specific context of BIM clash detection, evaluating their applicability, resource requirements and effectiveness. It was found that AI methods effectively solve mathematical and geometric tasks, but high-quality and consistent data preparation is essential for semantic data analysis. The importance of socio-technical factors-specialists鈥� competencies, trust in technology and organizational readiness - also became apparent.
To address the research problem, an experimental study was conducted, during which an AI model was developed and tested by analyzing different combinations of features and evaluating the results. The study identified key challenges, areas for improvement, and prospects for AI application in the field of BIM clash detection.
The thesis consists of an introduction, analytical-theoretical, methodological, and research-analytical sections, conclusions and recommendations, and appendices.
The scope of the work, excluding appendices, is 66 pages, 6 illustrations, 15 tables and 82 bibliographic sources.

This final thesis presents the comprehensive design of a 4-story residential building located at Lazdyn臈li懦 St. 57, Vilnius. At the initial stage, an optimal structural scheme for the building is selected, and a general description of the architectural, structural, and engineering systems is prepared in compliance with local planning regulations. Energy efficiency calculations are performed, including the determination of the thermal resistance of the building envelope to meet modern energy standards.
To ensure precise visualization and project coordination, a 3D model of the residential building is developed. In the structural analysis section, the internal forces of the load-bearing structures are calculated based on dead and live loads, and the required reinforcement for the structural elements is determined. A comprehensive set of graphical documentation is prepared, consisting of architectural-structural drawings and detailed working drawings of the load-bearing structures. Finally, the technological part of the thesis includes a technological card for the cast in place columns installation, defining the construction processes, quality control requirements, and occupational safety measures on site.

The final Bachelor's thesis designs a multi-storey residential building with administrative premises located at 12A 沤ygimant懦 Street, block C, Vilnius. The aim of the thesis is to develop the main architectural, structural, and technological solutions for the building, taking into account the loads acting on the structure and ensuring the load-bearing capacity, stability, and serviceability of the structural elements. The thesis consists of three main parts: architectural-construction, structural, and technological.
The architectural-construction part presents the initial project data, climatic conditions, loads, main structural materials, and design solutions for the foundations, columns, floor slabs, walls, roof, stairs, expansion joints, fire safety measures, indoor microclimate, and engineering systems. It also includes calculations of the thermal resistance of the building envelope.
In the structural part, a three-dimensional computational model of the building is developed using the finite element software SCIA Engineer 25. Permanent, imposed (live), snow, and wind loads are calculated, load combinations are established, and the internal forces acting on the structural elements are determined. Based on the obtained results, a monolithic reinforced concrete flat slab, reinforced concrete columns, and a pile foundation are designed. The technological part includes the preparation of a technological specification for pile foundation installation, the selection of construction equipment, a description of the pile installation process, permissible tolerances, occupational safety requirements, and technical-economic indicators.
The graphical part contains architectural drawings, structural working drawings, and a technological scheme for pile installation. Thesis volume: 206 pages.
