Elhem Ghorbel
Elhem GHORBEL has completed his PhD at the age of 27 years in materials science and engineering from the National High Engineering School of Mines - Paris. She is Professor at the University of Cergy-Pontoise in the department of Civil Engineering (IUT) since 2003. She has several institutional activities and scientific responsibilities at the national and international levels.Her research interests cover the mix design, the mechanical and fracture behavior of materials ( self-compacting and resin concretes, composites , polymers), the valorization of inert and industrial wastes in concrete, the repairing of concrete by composites, the durability of heterogeneous materials (aging, Chemical attacks, biodegradation and freezing-thawing resistance), the reinforcement of concrete by composite bars, …She has supervised 15 theses supported and 5 in progress at this time.She has published more than 50 papers in reputed journals, 100 conference papers, 4 book chapters and was invited to give more than 10 plenary conferences.She is editorial board member of Advances in Civil Engineering, Modern Civil and Structural Engineering, Helyon, ….She participated in the organization of about ten conferences and is in the scientific committee of about thirty international conferencesShe has scientific exchanges with foreign universities in USA, Italy, Bulgaria, UK, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Turkey and Lebanon.Research fields-Mechanics of Polymers- Modelling.-Mix design, mechanical and fracture behaviour of concretes: self-compacting, based resin , bitumen and geopolymers.-Valorisation of by-products in concretes.-Durability of heterogeneous materials: aging, Chemical attacks and freezing-thawing resistance-Composites in concretes: repairing, reinforcement, confining.Key wordsConcrete, Polymer, Composites, mechanical behavior, durability, fracture, damage
