Marc Gutermann

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Marc Gutermann is a full-time Professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences, Department of Structural Engineering and Building Materials, University of Bremen. His expertise lies in structural engineering, experimental statics, and safety assessment of historical and modern infrastructure.

• Specializes in experimental structural safety evaluation
• Focuses on masonry arch bridges and historical building diagnostics
• Develops innovative load testing methodologies using mobile cranes
• Works on fatigue analysis of concrete structures and resource-efficient preservation techniques

His research emphasizes practical applications through the Mobile Load Test Vehicle BELFA and experimental verification of structural integrity. Current projects include "System for Using Mobile Cranes for Load Tests on Short Span Road Bridges" (funded €113,000) and Weser Bridge assessments. He contributes to building codes and preservation standards through extensive publications and collaborations.

As a leader in the Laboratory for Experimental Statics, he combines teaching with hands-on structural testing, particularly in masonry arch bridges and historic reinforced concrete slabs. His work bridges theoretical models with real-world applications through guided experiments in civil engineering education.
