CiviTest has carried out an integrated design project, related to the production of special foundations. This work involves: Thermo-mechanical analysis using advanced FEM-based approaches; Assessment of the reliability of the concrete maturation model through in-situ temperature monitoring; Quality control of the applied materials by performing experimental tests.
On the 19th of December, at 02:30 PM, the PhD student Cristina Maria Vieira Frazão (staff member of CiviTest) will defend her thesis. Thesis title: “Recycled Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete for Structural elements subjected to chloride attack: Mechanical and Durability performance”. Location: Sala de Atos – Campus de Azurém, Guimarães Supervisors: Joaquim António Oliveira de Barros; José Alexandre de Brito Aleixo…
The 1st Workshop of the “EcOffShorBE” group will be held in the Azurém Campus of the University of Minho .EcOffshorBE (Eco Offshore Built Environment) is formed by the CiviTest company (leading entity) and the University of Minho (represented by the Departments of Biology, Industrial Electronics, Polymer Engineering and Civil Engineering).

Development of innovative hybrid sandwich panel slabs: experimental results In this paper, a new generation of composite sandwich slab is proposed as a solution for the rehabilitation of slabs in old masonry buildings. An innovative solution was developed during this research formed by four components: a Deflection Hardening Cement Composite (DHCC) layer on the top compression skin, a glass fiber…
CiviTest participated in the construction of the meetings for the installation of a prefabricated pedestrian bridge over the Cáster river in Ovar. The pedestrian bridge is formed by a 40mm thick reinforced self-compacting concrete tray (BACRF), supported by pultruded profiles of glass matrix reinforced with glass fibers (GFRP), whose development was the scope of the Project QREN Pontalumis. CiviTest also…
