Main research areas
Research activities at the Faculty of Civil Engineering are characterized by the wide range of projects in Germany and abroad as well as the extremely high proportion of industrial participation. Accordingly, a large number of professors and staff are involved in the various research and development projects. The focus is on application-oriented research work with clearly defined development objectives and compact durations. With a total third-party funding volume of € 4.62 million in 2022, the faculty once again occupies a leading position at the university.
The research topics range from geotechnical, water management and building materials issues to investigations in the fields of road and railroad construction and research work in the areas of structural engineering, urban planning and architecture. The departments of geotechnics and hydraulic engineering are particularly strong in research. In addition, research work in the field of international water management (competence center for bank filtration in India) and sustainable water extraction is being successfully continued as part of the HTW Dresden's post-doctoral program.

The institute brings together researching professors and employees at the HTW Dresden. By pooling interdisciplinary expertise, the IBiK contributes to innovative solutions for climate adaptation in the construction industry.
Mission
The aim of the institute is to make a lasting contribution to climate adaptation in the construction industry through application-oriented research, consulting and innovation and thus to strengthening the resilience of cities and communities to environmental impacts.
Based on interdisciplinary scientific findings and in close cooperation with its research and industry partners, IBiK develops innovative structural engineering solutions that effectively and sustainably support the adaptation of the built environment to the consequences of climate change. The members of the institute are actively involved in the new and further development of normative standards and guidelines.
The IBiK is a point of contact for stakeholders from politics, business and science. The Institute supports its members in the acquisition of projects and assists in the management of research work. In addition, it acts as an initiator for R&D cooperation through interdisciplinary communication.
