Description

La Résistance des Matériaux est le domaine de la mécanique du dimensionnement des structures.
Dans le cadre d’une application au génie civil, cet UE enseigne aux étudiants des méthodes de calcul permettant de s’assurer que les dimensions et les matériaux constitutifs d’ouvrages idéalisés sont capables d’atteindre des niveaux de sécurité satisfaisants tant en termes de déformations que de contraintes.

Contenu du cours :
Dans la continuité de la mécanique des milieux continus, la théorie des poutres permettra de calculer les réactions d’appuis, les efforts internes, les déplacements et les contraintes (flexion, cisaillement et torsion).
Les exemples d’applications abordés lors du cours seront orientés vers le cas particulier d’ouvrages géotechniques pour lesquels les chargements peuvent être apportés par le sol et les réactions assurées par le terrain.
Afin de mettre en application la théorie, des exemples seront traités à l’aide des logiciels Foxta et K-Réa afin d’appliquer les nouveaux concepts étudiés à des cas pratiques et réels : le dimensionnement de fondations (profondes et superficielles) et d’écrans de soutènement.



The Resistance of Materials is the field of mechanics of structural design.
In the context of an application to civil engineering, this course teaches students calculation methods to ensure that the dimensions and constituent materials of idealized structures are capable of achieving satisfactory levels of safety in terms of both deformation and stress.

Course content:
In the continuity of continuum mechanics, the theory of beams will allow the calculation of support reactions, internal forces, displacements and stresses (bending, shear and torsion).
The examples of applications discussed during the course will be oriented towards the particular case of geotechnical structures for which the loads can be provide d by the soil and the reactions by the ground.
In order to apply the theory, examples will be treated with the help of Foxta and K-Réa software in order to apply the new concepts studied to practical and real cases: the dimensioning of foundations (deep and superficial) and retaining walls.
 

School regulations

The curriculum includes three years of study: admissions, the organisation of studies, assessments, placements and vivas, graduation and international exchanges are all explained in the current school rules (pdf).

First and second year courses

First and second year courses

  • General modules: mechanics, geology, mathematics, IT, digital analysis, signal processing, inverse methods.
  • Geophysical methods: physics of the Earth, seismology, seismic modelling and imaging, geodesy, gravimetry, potential methods, geomagnetism, electromagnetism, rock physics and fracture, hydrology.

  • IT and research projects, shared with the first year of the master’s degree
  • Summer placements at a laboratory or company, with numerous opportunities abroad (international placement contact: Mike Heap)

Third year course

Students have a choice of 3 specialisations in the third year:

  • Geophysics applied to the exploration and production of raw materials: seismic and hydrodynamic characterisation of reservoirs, seismic processing and interpretation, potential methods.
  • Geophysics applied to geotechnics: geotechnics and the resistance of materials applied in civil engineering, geomechanics, hydrogeophysics, electromagnetic methods, earthquake.
  • Hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry, hydrogeophysics (HydroG3).

Additional teaching:

  • Languages and economic and social sciences: English, energy economy, company strategy and structure.
  • Geophysics field camp in Alsace (photo).  Here are images of a normal fault in the Rhine Graben taken by students.
  • 6-month industry placement culminating in the writing of a dissertation and a viva before a jury in order to obtain the engineering degree. The placements are carried out all over the world.
