Creep test room for building elements

When a materials such as concrete or wood is placed under steady stress over time, the material experience increasing deformation, a phenomenon known as "creep" which is responsible for the progressive warping of joists and floors. Dedicated to the experimental understanding of the creep phenomenon, this laboratory is equipped with a high-temperature creep test chamber and various facilities for the study of creep in different materials and structural parts.
