Abstract

Alexandre Sarrasin (1895-1976) est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages d'art audacieux, notamment en Valais : ponts de Meryen et du Gueuroz, barrage à voûtes multiples des Marécottes. Sa recherche constante de la solution la plus légère par une méthode de calcul rigoureuse lui permet de créer des structures inédites. Cette démarche le place parmi les ingénieurs suisses de premier plan au XXe siècle, entre Robert Maillart et Christian Menn. Cet ouvrage présente un choix de ses réalisations les plus novatrices et évoque les multiples activités de son bureau par le biais de quelques articles thématiques. Il est le résultat d'un travail de recherche mené à l'EPFL, conjointement par les archives de la construction moderne et le laboratoire maintenance, construction et sécurité des ouvrages, faculté environnement naturel architectural et construit (ENAC).
