Opening of the JKP STATIC Concrete Laboratory

JKP STATIC officially opened its accredited concrete laboratory with a professional event attended by numerous colleagues, researchers, and industry partners. The event provided insight into the laboratory’s testing capabilities, current research directions, and the growing role of advanced material modelling and laboratory verification in modern structural engineering.

During the event, visitors could observe an FRC beam demonstration, visit the climate chamber, and participate in professional discussions about the future of fibre reinforced concrete and advanced structural design.

Dr. Peter Karoly Juhasz presented the latest engineering approaches related to:
– data-driven structural design
– sustainability and CO₂ reduction through optimisation
– advanced finite element modelling
– application possibilities of synthetic macro fibres

Reliable laboratory testing plays an increasingly important role in structural optimisation and carbon footprint reduction.

The JKP STATIC accredited laboratory performs the most important concrete and FRC-related tests, including all major testing procedures used for fibre reinforced concrete.

The laboratory also supports ongoing industrial and research projects, including cooperation with the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) in PhD-level experimental research focusing on advanced reinforced concrete structures strengthened with UHPC and FRP systems.

Below are some moments from the opening event and professional meeting.
