At present, the members of the Institute of Building Testing are actively engaged in the following research topics:
- Shrinkage, creep, and crack development in concrete materials
- Image analysis of surface features of ordinary and alkali-activated fine-grained materials utilising deep learning pixel classification models.
- Fracture properties of quasi-brittle materials
- Freeze-thaw resistance and related durability properties of concrete materials
- Mechanical and durability properties of low-carbon concrete
- Utilisation of resonance and ultrasonic methods for the assessment of the structural defects and uniformity of the concrete members
- Dynamic response of structures and structural members
- Effect of the recycled aggregate on the durability, service life and sustainability of concrete structures
- Properties and behaviour of composite rebars
- Specification of the properties of masonry elements intended for the reconstruction of monuments
- Utilisation and effectiveness of non-destructive methods in in-situ diagnostics
- Diagnostics methods for timber structures
- On-site diagnostics
