Research themes


- Behaviour of geomaterials (concrete, soil and rocks): damage, cracking, permeability, thermo-hydro-mechanical couplings;

- Eco-construction materials with low environmental impact;

- Geomaterials in aggressive environments (chemical, fire).

 

Know-how


- Numerical modelling and simulation of structures under complex loading;

- Experiments and characterizations: mechanical, thermal transfers, thermo-hydraulic, couplings, durability indicators after physico-chemical stress.

 

Applications


- Safety of the works;

- Durability of materials;

- Eco-construction;

- Soil stability.
