Team 2 : Numerical modeling of hydraulic structures
We are interested firstly on numerical prediction of internal erosion phenomenon « renard » which is still a dangerous failure mode and poorly understood and on the other hand the flow forces effect caused by the dewatering and emptying of dams.Themes in works:• Development and validation active and passive earth pressures simulation procedures• Flow Influence on retaining structures• Numerical modeling of stratification effect on earth pressures in presence of flow• Estimation of flow and hydraulic gradient around the rectangular and circular cofferdams• Study of hydromechanical coupling influence on the stability of geotechnical structures;• Auscultation and numerical analysis of grounds and concrete dams deformation.
