Introduction<\/h4>\n

IMK is very open to creative work and to various research and development schemes related to all core processes (design, technical consultancy, supervision, testing, certification). Even regular everyday work is both routine and unique, as most work is related to addressing individual requirements and circumstances, which should be recognized and addressed properly.<\/p>\n

R&D is crucial for the evolution of the institute; therefore, IMK is open to collaboration with both national and European institutions, as well as organizations in the commercial and public sectors. In actual practice, however, most R&D work at IMK is primarily related to addressing real problems in practice, and carried out by the so-called Applied Research arm of IMK. Occasionally IMK conducts research on its own initiative, if the execution of a project reveals a phenomenon that would be useful to explore, but where the research itself would exceed the scope of the services tendered.<\/p>\n

IMK does not employ permanent or ongoing research groups \u2013 instead groups are formed according to the needs of the research project. The IMK R&D teams composed of staff in various organizational units are registered at the SRA. In the event of any wider-spread or lengthy research projects \u2013 especially in the case of projects financed by the public sector, the financial side of the research work is generally managed separately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

\tThe major part of the R&D work is carried out in the following areas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Research of the mechanical properties of structural materials,<\/li>\n
  2. Estimations of service life of steel structures,<\/li>\n
  3. Corrosion and corrosion protection,<\/li>\n
  4. Theoretical and experimental analysis of construction details,<\/li>\n
  5. Joints and joining processes of structural elements (welded and bolted joints),<\/li>\n
  6. Research related to the operational safety of energy facilities,<\/li>\n
