  Louvain-la-Neuve Master thesis: "Etude du comportement au vent de bâtiments multi-étagés en ossature bois" The thesis subject was suggested by Mobic, enterprise specialised in wood frame constructions. One of the aims of this thesis consisted to tackle different analytical approaches to estimate the stiffness (only elastic domain) and the resistance of timber shear walls.

• Design of a theoretical lock at Hérinnes

  • Sep 2018 - Dec 2018

  Louvain-la-Neuve Context: The aim of the project consisted to design a theoretical new lock at Hérinnes (based on a real project made by SPW). Tasks completed: -Identify the most suitable area to install the lock -Establish a relevant cross section of the site based on data (CPT, piezometer tests etc) -Compute the bearing capacity for the concrete raft -Design the profile of the lock upstream and downstream -Compute the filling time of the lock, determining the most suitable… Show more Context: The aim of the project consisted to design a theoretical new lock at Hérinnes (based on a real project made by SPW).

My Responsibility: The mission consisted to follow and observe the starting of the construction work. Tasks completed: -Check for the construction of the retaining wall -Establishment of a relevant planning for the achievement of the foundations -Check for the raise of the foundations -Follow the monitoring plan -Control of the technical datasheets Results: -My contribution afforded to save time and we succeeded to pour the concrete of the raft before the summer vacations. -Thanks to the monitoring plan, we avoided upstream to commit some mistakes during the construction, preventing some possible extra costs Show less

• Design and building of a wooden walkway

  • Feb 2015 - Jun 2015

  Louvain-la-Neuve Context: The aim of the project consisted to design and build a wooden walkway able to: -Carry the biggest loads as possible -Take the installation procedure into account -Cross a virtual pitt -Be lighter as possible -Be the most aesthetic as possible After computing the resistance and designing the sections, the walkway has been made at full-scale in laboratory beforepassing a competition. My Responsibility: First, I helped to fix a relevant design of… Show more Context: The aim of the project consisted to design and build a wooden walkway able to: -Carry the biggest loads as possible -Take the installation procedure into account -Cross a virtual pitt -Be lighter as possible -Be the most aesthetic as possible After computing the resistance and designing the sections, the walkway has been made at full-scale in laboratory beforepassing a competition. My Responsibility: First, I helped to fix a relevant design of the walkway. Afterwards, I established the theoretical procedure to install the walkway and checked the failure and displacements criterions thanks to the Scia software. In conclusion, I built the walkway in a laboratory with my co-workers, under the supervision of the technicians. Tasks completed: -Fix a relevant design of the walkway -Establish the theoretical procedure to install the walkway -Check the failure and displacements criterions (thanks to the Scia software) -Build the walkway in a laboratory with my co-workers (under the supervision of the technicians) Show less
