TEP-001: Construction Engineering Laboratory (LabIC.UGR)
The research group TEP-001: Laboratory of Construction Engineering LabIC.UGR has a highly multidisciplinary work team that provides, in addition to research capacity, continuous actions to transfer knowledge to companies and institutions in the sector ( see main collaborating actors).
For the development of its line of research on the design, characterization and evaluation of materials for transport infrastructures, it has a laboratory of measurement and experimentation equipment in the field of state-of-the-art materials technology. It is worth highlighting the in-house technology developed by the group, such as the UGR-Fact fatigue cracking test method for asphalt materials.
Its service offering is completed with the capacity for technical assistance and the possibility of consulting in the fields of comprehensive evaluation of engineering projects, management of occupational risk prevention, life cycle, and environmental and economic impact.
The main lines of research are the following:
- Technical and environmental feasibility of engineering projects. Projecting the Society
- Prevention of occupational hazards; Occupational Health and Safety.
- Construction Materials and Technologies for road pavements.
- Materials for railway infrastructures.
