Université Paris-Est - Labex MMCD - Modélisation & Expérimentation pour la Construction Durable
Multi-Scale Modelling & Experimentation of Materials for Sustainable Construction
Improving our understanding of the properties of civil engineering and environmental materials is a major issue for sustainable development. Indeed developing sustainable means for waste or CO2 storage, less energy consuming and more sustainable buildings, etc, are among the most critical environmental urgencies. Nevertheless the materials involved have a complex, multi-scale, heterogeneous structure, implying that a huge variety of interactions, chemical and physical processes are concurrently at work, and collectively determine macroscopic properties (see pictures below). Labex MMCD aims at developing an advanced research on these materials, relying on approaches involving the top research means for the modelling, numerical simulations, experimentation and imaging, in mechanics and physico-chemistry.
