Emmanuel Denarié

Emmanuel Denarié is an Adjunct Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) with over 35 years of experience in concrete technology and structural rehabilitation. He leads research at the CONSTRUCT laboratory and teaches courses in structural engineering, materials science, and UHPFRC applications.

• Academic Affiliation: EPFL, School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC)
• Key Research Areas: Ultra-High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC), structural rehabilitation of aging infrastructure, tensile behavior of composites, and environmental durability

His work focuses on UHPFRC innovation, particularly synthetic PE fiber composites for reduced carbon footprints. Notable projects include the 20-year study of the La Morge Bridge rehabilitation and lighthouse conservation in the Iroise Sea.

Scientific Contributions: 15+ years of publications on UHPFRC mechanics, chloride penetration, and sustainable construction. Supervised 9 PhD theses on topics like fiber orientation effects and thermal deformation modeling.

Current affiliations include:

• CONSTRUCT Laboratory (ENAC/IIC/GIS/EPFL)
• Structural Engineering Group (ENAC/GIS-GE)
• EDCE Teaching Program (VPA-AVP-DLE)
