Engineers from our School have examined the use of geothermal energy in two very different applications: a metro station and an underground data center. The works had a focus on the internal airflow conditions of these structures and possible optimization of the mechanical ventilation. Each case presents its own set of challenges. actu.epfl.ch/news/epfl-enginee #civilengineering #energy #geothermalenergy

EPFL

👑 👷‍♀️ Between 12 May and 9 June 2025, Place Ada Lovelace will host "Queens of Structure", a traveling exhibition celebrating the work of over 20 leading women in civil engineering.

Read our interview of Maléna Bastien Masse, who spearheaded the initiative at EPFL and in French-speaking Switzerland more broadly.

On the Mechanics of Wet Sand

Sand is a critical component of many built environments. As most of us learn (via sand castle), adding just the right amount of water allows sand to be quite strong. But with too little water — or too much — sand is prone to collapse. For those of us outside the construction industry, we’re most likely to run into this problem on the beach while digging holes in the sand. In this Practical Engineering video, Grady explains the forces that stabilize and destabilize piled sand and where the dangers of excavation lie. (Video and image credit: Practical Engineering)

Reinforced concrete shows that people break engineering. The original promises about the lifespan of reinforced concrete assumed that the rebar was not allowed to oxidize before it was enclosed in concrete, but construction workers never got the memo about storing rebar somewhere dry and when you add salt water from road salt garages rot from the inside out. cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/publ #civilEngineering #errorBetweenKeyboardAndChair

CBCWitness spotted cracks evening before downtown parking garage collapsed | CBC NewsLine De Matteis was one of just a few people to notice the cracks in a downtown Ottawa parking garage before its top floor partially gave out last week.
