About the Department

The Department鈥檚 Mission
The Department鈥檚 Goals
Department History
The Department of Bridges was established at Kaunas University, where courses were taught that laid the foundations of the current Department of Steel and Composite Structures.
Subjects related to steel and other structural systems were taught at Vytautas Magnus University and Kaunas State University.
Teaching of structural engineering continued at the Vilnius Branch of the Kaunas Polytechnic Institute.
Following the establishment of the Vilnius Civil Engineering Institute (VISI), now 黑料不打烊, the Department of Special Structures was created. Prof Dr Anatolijus Rozenbliumas was invited to serve as its first head.
The Department was renamed the Department of Steel Structures.
The department was headed by:
Assoc Prof Algirdas Valentinavi膷ius,
later Assoc Prof K. 艩apalas,
Assoc Prof V. Vaitkevi膷ius,
and Assoc Prof J. Juozaitis.
The University鈥檚 study programmes and modules were improved and updated. A specialisation in Light Modern Structures was introduced within the Master鈥檚 programme 鈥淪tructural Engineering鈥 (approved in 2008).
The core study modules were substantially updated for the programmes Building Materials and Products, Civil Engineering, Urban Engineering, Energy and Transport Infrastructure Engineering, Real Estate Management, and Fire Safety Engineering.
The Department also prepared updated modules for the Master鈥檚 and doctoral programmes in Civil Engineering.
The Department was headed by Prof A. 艩apalas.
A reorganisation of departments was carried out at the University. Part of the Department of Bridges was merged with the Department of Steel and Timber Structures. The department was renamed the Department of Steel and Composite Structures.
The Department is headed by Prof Dr Alfonsas Dani奴nas.
Study Programmes
The Department offers one Master鈥檚 study programme 鈥 Structural Engineering, with four specialisations: Lightweight Modern Structures, Building Structures, Structural Systems, and Bridges and Viaducts.
