Visit HADES Mol, Belgium

11 Jul 2025 10:29

Yesterday we visited the HADES lab in Mol, Belgium. This lab is in a tunnel, 225 meter underground and has facilities to study potential storage of nuclear waste in clay layers.

This week we had a great conference in Rotterdam. The topic of the conference was Modelling Strategies for Sustainable Concrete Structures. On top of that we had contributions on Auxetic materials, which turned out to be a good mix. I organised this event together with Mladena Lukovic and iris Batterham. We had 50 participants and 42 presentations. These small conferences are actually the best. You have no stress of choosing the talk you want to attend. Everything was in the same room without parallel sessions. And there were a lot of questions and discussion. Highlights were also the Splash-tour we had and a technical excursion to the Maastunnel. Below some pictures.

Dr Koichiro Hara from SHIMIZU Corporation in Japan visited us yesterday. Prof. Jan Rots (Applied Mechanics) had a discussion with him on modelling fracture mechanics of structural concrete and masonry and he showed him around in the structural labs. I had a discussion with him on material related topics and projects we have in common, like 3D concrete printing, CO2-store and fatigue of concrete.
