Publications

The use of the Structural Engineering Platform results in numerous high-quality scientific publications each year. Over the last years, on average 100 publications per year were produced (not counting students works, etc.), as can be seen in the graph below. The decline observed over the last three years can be explained by the Covid restriction period and also, since 2021, by several renewals of Professors in structural engineering, which will continue until 2024.

The use of the Structural Engineering Platform results in numerous high-quality scientific publications each year. Over the last years, on average 100 publications per year were produced (not counting students works, etc.). The high publication production reflects the many experimental activities carried out by researchers in the domain of structural engineering. The evolution of the numbers of the different types of researchers is shown in the graph below. A list of representative publications is given below as well (with direct link to Infoscience).

The decline observed over the last three years can be explained by the Covid restriction period and also, since 2021, by several renewals of Professors in structural engineering (will continue until 2024).
