M2 Advanced Materials, Structure and Energy for sustainable construction
For the Modelling and Computing for Construction Engineering Master 2 program
- Students develop a solid foundation in scientific methodology, including bibliography analysis, experimental investigation, and the presentation of scientific results. The program develops multidisciplinary skills, combining state-of-the-art experimental tools (e.g., hybrid testing, Digital Image
Correlation) with theoretical and numerical modeling. Key points are understanding and simulating non-linear, possibly softening, mechanical behavior of Civil Engineering materials and structures. -
Program Objectives:
› Bridge the gap between experiments (observations, mechanical responses) and structural modeling for supporting sustainable construction,
› Prepare students for research and engineering careers involving high-performance simulation and design under complex mechanical and environmental conditions,
› Offer hands-on research experience through a supervised Scientific Training Period in a research lab,
› Propose modern, research-based and high-level courses.
For the Materials for Sustainable Construction and Environment Master 2 program:
- Students gain a multidisciplinary understanding of material behavior under environmental constraints,
exploring mechanical, thermal, hydric, and morphological phenomena. Special focus is placed on the degradation mechanisms, damage, durability, and environmental impact of materials, from microstructural processes to structural performance. -
Program Objectives:
› Provide a solid theoretical and practical foundation for research-oriented careers in sustainable construction materials.
› Cultivate critical thinking and scientific reasoning through applied and investigative learning.
› Offer hands-on research experience through a supervised internship in a research lab.
For the Modelling and Computing for Construction Engineering Master 2 program:
- Advanced experimental investigation for construction engineering (hybrid testing, Digital Image Correlation, etc.).
- Understanding and modeling deformation and degradation mechanisms in materials (durability, porous media, aging, etc.).
- Analysis of damage, rupture, and failure in Civil Engineering materials and structures.
- Mechanics of structures under extreme and non-standard conditions.
- Finite Element computation of non-linear structural responses.
For the Materials for Sustainable Construction and Environment Master 2 program:
- Simulate, model, and experiment the behavior (mechanical, thermal, hydric, morphological) of materials and structures in their environment.
- Study advanced materials for sustainable construction and the environment.
- Understand and analyze the degradation and damage mechanisms of these materials, exploring both local and global scales.
- Energy management and sustainable development in construction.
- Propose modern, research-based and high-level courses.
The Modelling and Computing for Construction Engineering Master 2 program offers advanced training for future researchers, engineers, and designers in the mechanics of Civil Engineering materials and structures. Particular attention is paid to performance under extreme conditions that exceed standard regulatory requirements. Emphasis is placed on the design and analysis of structures subjected to complex loading, including dynamic, multi-physics, and stochastic (random) effects, as well as damage and failure of both materials and structures.
The Materials for Sustainable Construction and Environment Master 2 program is designed to train future researchers, engineers, and designers in developing and characterizing advanced materials for environmentally responsible construction. The program combines theoretical foundations, experimental practice, and research experience to address the challenges of sustainability and performance in construction materials and systems.
To enroll in this research-oriented Master 2 program, applicants must have completed at least the first year (M1) of a master degree, with theoretical training in civil engineering.
Engineers seeking to acquire research skills related to the « Materials, Structures and Energy for Sustainable Construction » program.
The semester S2 (from February to August) is constituted of 30 ECTS, generally:
- State-of-the-Art Report (STAR, 7 ECTS): Each student carries out individual bibliography research on a scientific subject, under the guidance of a member of Laboratoire de Mécanique Paris-Saclay (LMPS), UMR CNRS 9026.
-
Research for All (2 ECTS): This project aims to prepare the students for communicating scientific results related to the State-of-the-Art Report (STAR) subject, such as writing an abstract, a list of highlights, and preparing a graphical
abstract. -
Scientific Training Period (21 ECTS): The internship enables the student to gain research experience within a research group. A
research project is carried out, including a bibliography and an own investigation (analytical
development, modeling, or experiment). The Master program organizes a few collective and
individual guidance sessions.
