SaBRE

A joint venture between the University of Sheffield and the Building Research Establishment.

SaBRE, based at the University of Sheffield brings together expertise on the built environment from both the School of Architecture and the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering.

Services to Industry

SaBRE provides a range of services to industry, including collaborative research, consultancy, expert witness, testing and analysis, product development. In addition to these services SaBRE provides a gateway to the Building Research Establishment (BRE).

Research in Structural Engineering

At the applied level the research with industry focuses on extending the limits of structural design, and in developing innovative forms of construction. Researchers make use of a variety of advanced analytical modelling and experimental methods. Currently, the main areas of activity are:

• Computational Mechanics and Design
• Solid Mechanics
• Steel and Composite Structures
• Concrete Engineering
• Vibration Engineering
• Blast and Impact Dynamics

Research in Architecture

The Architectural Science Research Group is concerned with the energy and environmental performance of buildings and the impact of this performance on people. Research strengths within the group are in the areas of sustainability, low impact buildings, energy, acoustics, lighting and ventilation.

Training and Events

SaBRE provides access to BRE training courses a number of which will soon be available in Sheffield.
