We are responsible for 17 basic subjects on the undergraduate and postgraduate studies of civil engineering, geodetic engineering and water management/municipial engineering of University of Ljubljana. An active research makes us possible to increase continuously the quality of lecturing, which, in turn, enhances the quality of student's and engineer's work in school and practice. We have been advisors in doctoral dissertations. After completing the dissertations, most of the students took positions at the University. We believe that our doctors will have an important impact on the increase of quality both in the Univesity and in industry. We have offered several computer packages to the Slovenian industry. The first package deals with the thermo-mechanical analysis of planar steel or reinforced concrete frames subjected to fire; this package is intended for building firms and assurance companies for estimating the fire resistance of the frame-like structure and for estimating its postfire static bearing capacity. The second package deals with the geometrically and materially non-linear design of spatial reinforced concrete frames subjected to static loads; it is also intended for building firms. These tools are very sophisticated and thus may have some advantages over their competitors. The third package gives estimates for subsidence of the land surface above a coal mine caused by an exploatation.
