Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Mensinger

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Mensinger is a professor at the Technical University of Munich in the Department of Civil Engineering. His research focuses on steel, light metal, and composite construction, with particular emphasis on steel and composite bridge construction, the assessment of historical steel structures, and fire protection of steel and composite structures. His work includes significant contributions to the membrane effect of composite corners in fire scenarios, the development of a natural fire curve for fires in cavities of suspended ceilings and raised floors, and the influence of hot-dip galvanizing on the heating behavior of steel components. He has also been involved in the development of innovative construction methods, such as the VTF-Rail construction method and the Greißelbach pilot bridge.

Martin Mensinger is a professor specializing in Bauingenieurwesen and Stahlbau at the Technische Universität München. His research focuses on the structural behavior of composite connections, fatigue performance of fasteners, and sustainable bridge design. He investigates the seismic performance of steel-reinforced concrete columns, the durability of steel structures under fire conditions, and the integration of innovative materials in construction. His work also addresses the sustainability of steel and composite bridges, including life-cycle assessments and maintenance strategies. Additionally, he explores the application of machine learning in structural analysis and the development of efficient construction systems.
