Content(s)
The different phases of the design of an hydraulic structure are presented in this course:
1. Geological survey, regarding both the mechanical and the transfer properties, of a specific site to build a large structure.
2. Pre-design of the structure based on analytical methods (design rules as Eurocodes for instance) with simplified hypothesis.
3. The detailed structural design based on advanced rheological laws for geomaterials (soils, rocks, concrete) and finite element modelling, including construction phase.
Continuum Mechanics
Finite Element Method
Material Strength Theory
Rock and soil Mechanics
