Macrolab / Stevinlaboratory

The Stevin Laboratory of the Department of Structural Engineering comprises a structures laboratory, a road and pavement laboratory, a rail laboratory and a laboratory for recycling. The laboratory is very well equipped with unique facilities.

In the laboratory, researchers conduct experimental research, which is used to create and validate models and to compare experimental results with simulations. In the laboratory, also contract research is performed for (international) authorities, other research centers and commercial companies. The laboratory has an experienced support staff for the design and construction of the test beds and for the manufacturing and testing of test specimens and structures. The technicians use internally developed, customized control and measurement software.

Structures Laboratory

The construction laboratory research into the properties of materials and structures of steel, concrete, timber and fiber-reinforced plastics.

Railway Engineering Laboratory

The rail construction laboratory will investgate the properties of materials and structures for railway construction.

Recycling Laboratory

In the recycling laboratory research is being conducted to the separation of materials on the basis of their physical properties and with sensors.

Pavement Engineering Laboratory

In the pavement engineering laboratory research is conducted into the properties of materials and structures for pavements and roads.
