Structural appraisal, material characterization and nanomodifications’ unit

Our unit is focused on the following primary areas, offering hi-end consultancy services in academic and industrial partners:

• Design, development and characterization of materials for advanced engineering applications (nanomaterials, smart and self-healing materials, fibre reinforced, recycled and sustainable materials)
• The modification of mechanical and other materials’ properties of materials for advanced engineering applications (nanomaterials, smart and self-healing materials, fibre reinforced, recycled and sustainable materials)
• The study of mechanical properties via destructive and non-destructive techniques
• The creation of analytical structural models for the appraisal of the bearing capacity of modern structures and monuments under current regulations (Eurocodes)
• The development of analytical structural models for strengthening specific elements of modern structures and monuments
