Earth concrete project

Earth concrete

The objective of this project is to revalue excavated soil by developing a soil concrete formulation in order to obtain a material that is easy to use and achieves sufficient compressive strength.

TERRAPAD project

TERRAPADS

Development and characterisation of ecological load-bearing blocks based on excavated soil

Bet Color

Research on accelerated aging of coloured concrete.

TerraBloc

The objective of this project is to determine the strength and compression behaviour of compressed mud bricks. Different storage and drying conditions will be analysed.

Adjustable telescopic struts made of steel and/or aluminium

The purpose of this project is to test the actual characteristic strength of steel and/or aluminium telescopic struts in accordance with the standard SIA 222.111.

Structure damping

The purpose of this project is to model the propagation of waves in a material composed of nano or micrometric coatings on a solid substrate.

TOSA Struct

Calculation and production of two prefabricated elements made of ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC).
