Forecast Engineering: From Past Design to Future Decision 2018

Institute of Structural Engineering, Institute of Structural Mechanics, as well as Institute for Computing, Mathematics and Physics in Civil Engineering at the faculty of civil engineering at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar presented special topics of structural engineering to highlight the broad spectrum of civil engineering in the field of modeling and simulation. The summer course sought to impart knowledge and to combine research with a practical context, through a challenging and demanding series of lectures, seminars and project work. Participating students were enabled to deal with advanced methods and its practical application. The extraordinary format of the interdisciplinary summer school offers the opportunity to study advanced developments of numerical methods and sophisticated modelling techniques in different disciplines of civil engineering for foreign and domestic students, which go far beyond traditional graduate courses. The proceedings at hand are the result from the Bauhaus Summer School course: Forecast Engineering held at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, 2018. It summarizes the results of the conducted project work, provides the abstracts/papers of the contributions by the participants, as well as impressions from the accompanying programme and organized cultural activities.
