Concrete & Composite Materials

Research team - ULR 4515

Description

We study the development and use of experimental and digital tools for the formulation and characterization of materials. Our work is based on a strong multidisciplinarity and mainly concerns the materials science of civil engineering. Our team is actively participating in industrial research and has developed partnerships with major industrial groups. The team has acquired expertise in the field of repair using composite materials from end-of-life structures. Numerous projects have been carried out in partnership with industrial or international partners: the coupling of a repair method with the laser shock technique, the development of a process for the repair of sanitation structures, as well as the development of a process for the reinforcement of port walls.
Our research is organized around three topics:
- Tribology and Rheology of concrete
- Reinforcement of structures
- Lifetime
