Prof. Ing. Milan Holický
Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic
Prof. Dr. Milan Holický
got his civil engineering degree at the Czech
Technical University in Prague, and doctor degree at
the University of Waterloo, Canada. He is involved
in the research of structural reliability and risk
assessment. Since 1965 he is employed at the Klokner
Institute of CTU in Prague and lecturing at the
Faculty of Civil Engineering and Faculty of
Architecture of CTU in Prague.
He is an author or co-author of more than 300 scientific and technical publications including textbooks and five monographs (three in English, published by Elsevier and Thomas Telford Publications). He is actively participating in international research within CIB (Conseil International du Batiment), JCSS (Joint Committee for Structural Safety, particularly in WP 2 Risk Assessment) and in international standardisation within ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation). Since 1991 he has represented the Czech Republic in the European Committee for Standardisation CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) in the Technical committee TC 250 "Structural Eurocodes”.
Since 1990 Prof. Holicky closely cooperates with BRE Watford, UK, since 1997 he is BRE Associate. In 2010 he became Extraordinary Professor at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, in 2011 he was awarded degree Honorary Doctor of Science and Engineering of Moscow State University of Civil Engineering. Recently Prof. M. Holický was a coordinator of several research and educational European projects concerning Eurocodes. Presently he is a leader of the project team CEN/TC/250 SC2.PT1 developing Technical specification Assessment of existing structures.
