On December 12, 2025, the Department of Architectural and Civil Engineering hosted a guest lecture by Ulan Sabitovich Kuralov, Head of the Monolithic Concrete Division of Kazakh Research Institute of Construction and Architecture (KazNIISA) LLP. The lecture was delivered to students enrolled in the educational program “Construction of Industrial and Civil Buildings and Structures” and was titled “Analytical and Computational Methods in Modern Construction Design.”
During the lecture, the lecturer provided a comprehensive explanation of the importance of analytical and computational methods used in contemporary construction design. In particular, modern engineering calculations aimed at ensuring the strength, stability, and reliability of buildings and structures were discussed, along with the specific features of designing monolithic reinforced concrete structures and calculation approaches that take into account the requirements of regulatory and normative documentation.
In addition, drawing on examples from real-world professional practice, Mr. Kuralov spoke about computational modeling, load determination, the application of numerical methods, and the role of specialized software systems in the design process. The lecture was aimed at integrating students’ theoretical knowledge with practical experience and developing the engineering thinking skills required for their future professional careers.
At the end of the lecture, students had the opportunity to ask questions of interest and received valuable information about current trends in the construction industry and professional practice. The guest lecture was informative and engaging, contributing to an increased interest among students in their chosen field of study.
