TLAIJI Tala

TLAIJI Tala is a Researcher-Lecturer at CESI LINEACT, specializing in composite materials and civil engineering. She holds a PhD in Civil Engineering from Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University (2018), an MS from École Normale Supérieure de Cachan/École Centrale Paris (2015), and a Civil Engineering diploma from Lebanese University (2014). Her research focuses on textile-reinforced concrete (TRC), durability of materials, eco-materials valorization, and physico-chemical behavior under extreme conditions.

Education:

• PhD: Development and characterization of TRC composites' thermomechanical behavior (Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University, 2018)
• MS: Structures and Materials in Civil Engineering (École Normale Supérieure de Cachan/École Centrale Paris, 2015)
• Diploma in Civil Engineering (Lebanese University, 2014)

Research Interests:

• Composite materials with textile reinforcement
• Thermomechanical behavior of TRC under high-temperature conditions
• Material durability and degradation mechanisms
• Eco-friendly materials and sustainability
• Concrete formulation and structural analysis

Key Contributions: Her work examines TRC composites' performance under thermal and mechanical stress, with a focus on high-temperature loading and cement-based matrix properties. Recent studies include hygrothermal treatment effects on material interfaces and experimental approaches for TRC characterization.

Advising: Supervised an M2 intern on TRC-reinforced concrete beams' high-temperature behavior (LMC2).

Team Affiliation: Member of the Engineering and Numerical Tools research group at CESI LINEACT.
