His dissertation was entitled “Contribution to the load-bearing width of T-beams in the elastoplastic area”. Gert Albrecht worked from 1978 to 1984 as a senior engineer at the Chair for Steel Construction ( Structural Engineering II ) at the Ruhr University Bochum and then until 1992 as a partner in the engineering office Haensel-Roik-Albrecht & Partner (HRA) with Karlheinz Roik and J.
