Henrik Stang

Henrik Stang is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, specifically within the Structures and Safety division at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). His research focuses on structural integrity, concrete durability, and advanced computational modeling in civil engineering. He is actively involved in cutting-edge projects related to digital fabrication, sustainable construction, and structural health monitoring.

His research interests include high-performance concrete, reinforced concrete engineering, finite element methods, reinforcement corrosion, carbonation processes, 3D concrete printing, and structural dynamics. These areas align with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to sustainable cities and infrastructure. His work integrates experimental investigations with numerical simulations to enhance the safety and longevity of civil engineering structures.

The recent publications reflect a strong trend toward digitalization in construction, including 3D concrete printing, data-driven structural assessment, and physics-informed machine learning for structural monitoring. His work spans materials science, structural mechanics, and environmental durability, with applications in both onshore and offshore engineering systems.
