The experimental approaches developed to test structures or elements of civil engineering structures are based on the DESSIS platform making possible to test large-scaled specimens.
The team is mainly interested in the study of the behavior of structures (RC or bio-sourced materials) under earthquakes loadings and in the study of the collapsing of post-beam type structures in the case of a sudden loss of a bearing element such as post. The associated numerical models are based in particular on simplified methods (macroelement model, multifiber beams,...) including major non-linearities (damage, plasticity, speed effects, etc.) aimed at the development of tools usable by engineers.
