INFRASTRUCTURE AND EQUIPMENT

The infrastructures used by our team belong to the ICITECH-UPV. We have at our disposal one of the largest laboratories in Europe, which is also the largest in Spain in the field of construction. The facilities include the chemistry laboratories, the construction materials laboratory, the fiber optics laboratory and the laboratory of structural elements. These last two spaces are used by the Building Resilient group to carry out its work. The laboratory of structural elements has a surface area of 35x15m2 available for tests up to 14m in height, including an L-shaped reaction wall that allows the application of loads in the horizontal direction at any height.

In addition to the large facilities, we also make use of a multitude of equipment, giving us a high capacity to adapt to any study that needs to be carried out, making us a world-leading research group. Within the laboratory of structural elements, the most outstanding equipment is: overhead cranes, jib cranes, forklift trucks, links to pump units, data acquisition equipment, concrete mixers, universal testing systems, hydraulic jacks from 50kN to 5000kN, reaction frames and parts for their assembly.

We are also part of the UPV, having at our disposal the infrastructures and equipment that this world reference university has at its disposal. Among others, it is worth mentioning the high-performance computing centre (cluster) that allows us to carry out advanced computational simulations.
