CG lab - Université Gustave Eiffel

🌟 We were honoured to welcome Prof. Malcolm Bolton this week at the CG lab - Gustave Eiffel University for a 2-days seminar and a truly inspiring talk on the "Strength and Dilatancy of Geomaterials". It was an absolute pleasure to hear Malcolm's expertise and insights in soil mechanics. 🙏 Thank you, Malcolm, for coming to Nantes and sharing your knowledge with us. Also, a big thank you to all the speakers who participated in this event and to Christelle Abadie for the fantastic initiative and organisation! 👏🎉 🌍📚 Watch the talk here: https://lnkd.in/ggvk6T7s #Geomaterials #SoilMechanics #Engineering #Seminar #CG Lab #Inspiration #KnowledgeSharing #ExpertTalk 🌟

The conference is shaping up to be a fantastic event with a wealth of innovative research and insights. There has already been a strong response to the call for abstracts, and the conference is shaping up very nicely – don’t miss out!

Congratulations Chedid SAADE on this prize, which highlights some of the very good quality work you produced during your PhD

Réflexion sur un séminaire instructif et captivant que nous avons eu le privilège d'organiser récemment. La semaine dernière, le laboratoire RRO a accueilli un séminaire animé par Christelle Abadie, intitulé "Surveillance des dolines grâce à la combinaison de la détection par fibre optique et de l'imagerie satellite". Le Dr. Christelle Abadie a éclairé un système de surveillance récemment développé, servant d'alerte précoce pour la détection des dolines, dans le cadre du projet SINEW (Système d'alerte précoce des dolines). Le système combine l'utilisation de la détection par fibre optique distribuée (DFOS) ainsi que l'imagerie satellite pour prédire les emplacements possibles où les dolines peuvent se former, servant ainsi d'alerte pour prévenir l'apparition de dommages. La présentation a abordé les défis rencontrés, offrant des perspectives précieuses sur la manière de les surmonter. Un grand merci au Dr. Abadie pour sa présentation enrichissante et inspirante. Nous sommes impatients d'avoir plus d'échanges et de discussions futures enrichissantes. #Mouvementsdusol #Surveillance #Détectionparfibreoptique #Imageriesatellite #Géorisques #Fontis Reflecting on an insightful and engaging seminar we had the privilege to host recently. Last week, the RRO laboratory hosted a seminar by Christelle Abadie entitled as “Monitoring of sinkholes using combined fiber optic sensing and satellite imaging”. Dr. Christelle Abadie has shed light on a recently developed monitoring system, serving as an early warning for sinkholes detection, as part of the SINEW project (Sinkhole early Warning). The system combines both using of distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOS) as well as satellite imaging to predict the     possible locations at which sink holes can form, serving as an alert to prevent the occurrence of damage. The presentation tackled the encountered challenges, providing valuable perspectives on how to navigate them. Special thanks for Dr. Abadie for her enriching and inspiring presentation. Looking forward to more exchanges and further engaging future discussions. #Groundmovements #Monitoring #FiberopticSensing #SatelliteImaging #Geohazards #Sinkhole

💡 [#RESEARCH] On 15 March, the partners of #MUTANC research project met to review the progress of their work to study the potential of mutualised anchor to reduce the cost of floating offshore wind farms. Discussions focused mainly on: ▶ Numerical simulations to characterise the behaviour of a pile anchor in sand, under cyclic and multidirectional loading for various configurations. ▶ Centrifuge tests, which began in February, to reproduce, on a reduced scale, cyclic and multidirectional loads applied to a pile anchor to assess the stresses applied to it. ▶ The framework of a technical and economic analysis of mutualised anchors, which is currently underway. This face-to-face meeting was also an opportunity to visit the unique facilities of the Université Gustave Eiffel near Nantes. Many thanks to the team for organising this event! 👉 Learn more about #MUTANC: https://lnkd.in/eMprQt6n The project is led by our Institute, Technip Energies and Saipem, and it brings together EDF, INNOSEA, Skyborn Renewables, TotalEnergies, Université Grenoble Alpes, Université Gustave Eiffel, and Nantes Université. It receives funding from WEAMEC, WEst Atlantic Marine Energy Community, Région Pays de la Loire, and Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique. #offshore #wind #mutualised #anchor #cyclic #multidirectional #loads
