The object of the project is the supply of specialised scientific equipment for the Technical Engineering Laboratory of the Department of Civil Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, aiming at conducting research on the impact of the microstructure of building materials, and the innovative materials used for strengthening them, in their mechanical behaviour and the retrieval of additional information on the microstructure of samples. In particular, the equipment provided will allow: — Enhancement of the ability to characterise surfaces before and after mechanical stress in nano-infiltration, and additionally capability to capture the exact geometry of the deformation on the surface of the samples. — The preparation of test pieces with a controlled microstructure in which mechanical measurements will be made.
