DC 1: Thermo-mechanical behaviour of EGs in challenging geological conditions.

Host Institution
University of Lille (France)
Main Supervisor
Hussein Mroueh
Aim

Investigate thermo-mechanical (TM) behaviour of EGs (like piles and EMPs) in challenging geological conditions such as quick clays and carbonates rocks (e.g., Chalk), for optimizing their design for production and storage.

Specific Objectives
  1. Conduct detailed geotechnical and thermal characterization of quick clays and chalk, Develop advanced numerical model.
  2. Design and implement field and laboratory experiments for validation.
  3. Assess the performance of EMPs in terms of efficiency, durability, and stability.
  4. Develop practical design guidelines for the implementation of EGs in challenging geological conditions.
