Ground Mecanics
Goals
This module aims to lay the essential background of Fundamental Soil Mechanics essential to geotechnician to understand and predict the behavior of a complex multiphase (air, water, solid) material: soil. It makes the link with Solid Mechanics of which he shows a concrete application.
Programme
- Physical characteristics and classification of soils.
- Soil hydraulics
- Consolidation of fine soils: oedometric test, consolidation settlements
- Resistance of soils to shearing: shear tests, stress paths 5.Limit analysis - thrust and earth stop
Sustainable development
Sustainable Development Goals
DD&RS level 1
Activity contextualised through environmentally sustainable development and social responsibility and/or supported by examples, exercises, applications.
Programme elements related to sustainable development goals
The development of urban sites and the protection of populations against flooding require mastery of subsoils, understanding the hazards linked to this particular material as well as maintaining flood protection infrastructure. 80% of pathologies in structures come from a poor evaluation of the mechanical properties of surface and deep soils
