Beauty of Experimental Research with LUSET
In this post, I share my personal journey through experimental research in structural engineering at ETH Zürich’s Bauhalle, working extensively with LUSET—the Large Universal Shell Element Tester. From my first bi-axial masonry wall test to ongoing fatigue research for RC railway bridges, I reflect on the challenges, learning curves, and daily discoveries in the lab. Experimental research has taught me that every setup, no matter how difficult, brings new insights—and that curiosity is never finished. This is my view on the beauty of experimental research with LUSET.
