Transport Infrastructures & Territory
Road Reserach Laboratory
The Road Research Laboratory carries out tests for the mechanical characterization, fatigue, adaptation to environmental conditions, the effect of manufacturing conditions on mechanical properties, integrated design, etc. on specific road pavement materials. It assumes a part of the teaching load that is the training activities in the field of civil engineering.
Laboratory of Social Studies of Civil Engineering (LESEC)
The LESEC collaborates with institutions and administrations in socio-environmental and urban studies. The interest of the research lies in supporting the intervention processes of urban planning and civil engineering, from the evaluation of the socio-environmental and territorial impact and the analysis of the conflicts associated with sustainability, ways of life, urbanization models, landscape, particularly in the seashore field. In this way, the aim is to contribute to the active involvement of agents and society in the planning of the territory and management of natural resources. The values of sustainability and the results of the research are incorporated into the teaching of the group, generating innovation projects.
