DURABILITY OF STRUCTURES DEPARTMENT
Temporary teaching and research position in civil and structural engineering field. 2006-2009 LASIE (La Rochelle, France)
TRANSFER PHENOMENA IN WEAKLY POROUS MATERIALS DEPARTMENT Research and Development Engineer
Thematic area: durability of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures towards the corrosion of steels from physic-chemical point of view. R&D activities:
Proposal of efficient, objective and sure criterions to control durability of reinforced and prestressed concrete as well their constituents.
Developed predictive models that can be used either in design phase of engineering structures or during monitoring of an existent structure.
Provided a “toolbox” to the engineer and designer for evaluation and prediction of durability on the basis of a small number of material properties as well as to help make the proper choices on the basis of a relevant, reliable and low cost risk analysis to various issues in two situations:
o Structures and concrete design by designing suitable concretes to protect structures towards a particular degradation, depending to the service life required and the environment type.
o Monitoring of existing structures by assessing their state in a given maturity (diagnostic), and to predict their future development in the framework of the operational control, the management of existing structures and in an objective of decision aid. Teaching activities: teaching assistant for undergraduate level class in civil and structural engineering department.
