The highest potential of civil
engineering in Lithuania
VGTU Open Access Civil Engineering Research Centre is an exceptional centre and provides notified
and accredited research services in experimental
testing of building materials and structures, insulation materials, thermo insulation and heat–resistant materials, acoustics, as well as in urban
planning and transport links, building energy assessment, energy supply systems, roads, geodesy and
land surveying, geotechnical, environmental engineering, bioengineering and in other fields of research:
VGTU science – business collaboration results for
the year 2014 - 2.5 million euros;
more than 100 Lithuanian and foreign partners;
VGTU science works have been developed at:
- 3 science competence centres;
- 14 institutes;
- 33 science laboratories
(8 accredited, 2 notified).
In collaboration with research and business organizations involved in R&D activities, VGTU Open Access
Civil Engineering Research Centre may be useful in
the following priorities:
1. Energy-efficient house
We monitor and analyze the internal microclimate and energy efficiency of the buildings, as well
as opportunities for integration of the renewable
energy resources into structures of the buildings.
2. Thermal insulation materials
We develop and test new-generation thermo insulation materials.
3. Sustainable urban development
Research of territorial urbanization infrastructure
components, e.g. roads, we also perform environmental and geotechnical investigations.

Collaboration
with Business
Experts of VGTU Civil Engineering Centre performed reinforcement tests and tests of railways
sleepers estimating the reason of their disintegration that allows companies to significantly improve the durability of products for “NUKEM Technologies GmbH” (Germany) and Swedish capital
company UAB “Swetrak”. Equipment of VGTU
Open Access Civil Engineering Research Centre,
unique in the Baltic region, as well as accumulated
knowledge allowed these partners to essentially
improve their products. VGTU IS PROUD OF THE
BEST BRIDGE EXPERTS in Lithuania who are
providing consultations, qualified expertises and
conclusions on the newly built bridges.
We cooperate with UAB “Darbasta” (Ltd.), UAB
“Viadukas” (Ltd.) and other companies, building
the bridges all over the country.
Science

Technologies
for Business
ECO BLOCKS for your business exclusivity and competitiveness. This is a new ecological material from
hemp shives, with lower thermal conductivity and lower energy consumption in production than expanded
clay lightweight concrete. These blocks are used for
the construction of low-rise buildings or multi-frame
building envelope constructions. Scientists are also
developing other composites from hemp shives (acoustic and construction materials) and fibrous thermal
insulating materials from hemp and flax fibres.
BUBBLE DECK - VGTU scientists created bubble for
building structures which reduces the expenses of
concrete for slabs for about 40 %.
VGTU Open Access Civil Engineering Research Centre
researchers have developed FIRE-RESISTANT
CONCRETE WITH NANO-ADDITIVES for extreme
operating conditions for use in energetic and different
types of waste incinerators is superior by 40 % by its
physiochemical and thermal properties.
AIR POLLUTION-REDUCING CYCLONE FILTER
allows to reduce the air pollution from particulate
matter (dust) andcan be implemented in the energy
industry (boiler) to clean soot from smoke, as well as
from wood (wood, paper and furniture production),
building materials industry, agriculture and elsewhere.
The three-level design system allows to clean 3 times
more polluted air than usual multichannel cyclones.
Construction of this device is simple, it is easy to operate and is characterized by competitive price.

Let’s work together
VGTU Open Access Civil Engineering
Research Centre (CERC) is proud of
Prof. Gintaris Kaklauskas achievements in science and business.
For the first time in the world professor
significantly improved the structural
design methods by developing the
innovative reinforced concrete physical
models that can accurately predict the
building structures cracking, deformation, and eliminate the influence of
concrete shrinkage. This new methodology was awarded by American Civil
Engineering Union in 2013, while the
author got the Lithuanian Science Prize.
Prof. G. Kaklauskas consults the biggest world‘s construction companies,
e.g., Danish „Cowi“, and shares his
experiences with Hong Kong, Zurich,
Vienna Technology, Dresden, Turin
Polytechnic, Catalonia, Danishtechnical
and other universities. In addition,
G. Kaklauskas was visiting professor at
prof. habil. dr. GINTARIS KAKLAUSKAS
the University of Illinois, which has recognized as the best
construction faculty which has been recognized in United
States.
„I invite you to cooperate and build the worldclass technologies in VGTU Open Access Civil
Engineering Research Centre!“
