Civil Engineering Division

Advancing the design, construction, and operation of civil and structural engineering systems
 

Advancing the mechanics of civil and structural engineering systems within the broader context of the design, construction and operation of sustainable infrastructure and the stewardship of Earth's resources and environment.

We are the Civil Engineering Division within the Engineering Department at the University of Cambridge. The Department is made up of 6 Divisions: Energy, Fluid Mechanics and Turbomachinery (Div A), Electrical Engineering (Div B), Mechanics, Materials and Design (Div C), Civil Engineering (Div D), Manufacturing and Management (Div E) and Information Engineering (Div F).

Division D is led by Professor Simon Guest and includes the following research groups and centres; the Laing O' Rourke CentreGeotechnical and EnvironmentalUse LessStructuresSustainable Development, the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment (FIBE/CDT), the Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (CSIC), the Computational Statistics and Machine Learning Group and Digital Roads of the Future

Division D is based across four sites: the Civil Engineering Building (7a JJ Thomson Ave, Cambridge CB3 0FA), the Schofield Centre (High Cross, Madingley Rd, Cambridge CB3 0EF) and the Roger Needham Building (7 J J Thomson Avenue Cambridge CB3 0RB) on the West Cambridge campus and the Trumpington Street Site (Trumpington Street Cambridge CB2 1PZ) in Central Cambridge. Structures, the Laing O'Rourke Centre, CSIC, part of Geotechnical and Environmental, Digital Roads of the Future and NFRIS are based in the Civil Engineering Building. The Future Roads Programme and FIBE2 CDT are based at the Roger Needham Building. Use Less and Sustainable Development are based at the Trumpington Street site. Geotechnical and Environmental are based at the Schofield Centre.
