Application Centre for Concrete and Construction (ACB²)

Abstract

In support of the Construction Engineering Research Group (CERG) and the regional construction industry, Hasselt University is investing in a new structural laboratory in which mechanical tests of construction elements and full structures up to a size of 2 storeys can be performed. The facility, called the Application Centre for Concrete and Construction (ACB²), will provide opportunities towards the full-scale mechanical testing of structures and its individual components and will act as a catalyst for further development of the research group CERG and the construction industry through fundamental research, contract research and academic service research.
