Cyrille Chazallon

Cyrille Chazallon is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Strasbourg, affiliated with the ICube UMR7357 research institute. His research focuses on advanced material modeling, geotechnical engineering, and fatigue analysis of civil infrastructure materials, particularly asphalt mixtures and recycled aggregates. He specializes in computational mechanics techniques like the Discrete Element Method (DEM), Finite Element Method (FEM), and Boundary Element Method (BEM) to study material behavior under complex loading conditions.

Key research areas include: (1) Tire-pavement interaction mechanics under rolling loads, (2) Fatigue crack propagation in quasi-brittle materials, (3) Characterization of recycled concrete aggregates' self-cementing properties, (4) Multiscale modeling of asphalt mixture responses, and (5) Sustainable infrastructure design using fiber-reinforced composites. He leads European projects like ORRAP and national initiatives like BINARY and SolDuGri, advancing pavement technology through material innovation and computational methods.

His work integrates experimental validation with numerical simulations to understand material behavior across scales, addressing challenges in pavement durability, recycled material performance, and energy-efficient construction. Current projects emphasize environmental impact assessments of reinforced asphalt pavements and optimizing material recycling strategies for infrastructure sustainability.
