LMS’ History
Geotechnical Laboratory in EPFL was founded in 1935 by professor Alfred Stucky with headquarters in Rue de Geneve in Lausanne. In 1976 it was moved to the “new” EPFL campus. The Laboratory has been led by a series of distinguished professors and entrepreneurs: A. Stucky until 1947 then D. Bonnard until 1972; E. Recordon till 1993 and L. Vulliet up to 2007. Since 2008 is led by Prof. Lyesse Laloui. The Laboratory of Soil Mechanics is today one of the most internationally renowned geomechanics research groups, both in terms of scientific production and intellectual impact.
