Context In hydrocarbons producing fields, Produced Water Re-Injection (PWRI) is known as an economically attractive and environmentally friendly method to manage the produced water. This method has the advantage to maintain the pressure level in the reservoir in order to enhance the hydrocarbon production. However, this technique faces challenges such as the deterioration of the […]
Read MoreNicolas Roussel became on September 1, 2021 the 47th president of RILEM. This international association, founded in 1947, brings together 2,400 members in 90 countries. Its purpose is to promote scientific and technical collaboration in the field of building materials and structures and civil engineering and to promote the dissemination of knowledge. Its international technical […]
Read MoreJoint PhD position at UCLouvain and Ecole des Ponts in Geomechanics Grain breakage is a common occurrence in granular media when the intergranular forces exceed the individual particle strength and is of major importance in many areas of geosciences. Experimental evidences suggest that particle breakage may significantly influence the mechanical behavior of the material promoting […]
Read MoreClay materials have been considered as potential candidate for closure structures in high-level radioactive waste repositories. In spite of several studies investigating its hydro-mechanical behaviour, the kinetics of the re-saturation process and the development of swelling pressure of clay materials, observed in the large-scale experiments during long periods (e.g. several years), can still not be […]
Read MoreReinforced concrete construction is sometimes compared to craftsmanship in the sense that many tasks remain essentially manual. Heavy and time-consuming site activities have a direct impact on the design of the elements, oversizing and the risk of manufacturing errors. It is clear that reinforced concrete will nevertheless remain in use in the years to come. […]
