In collaboration with ESTP-ENPC, we are proposing two thesis topics for the new academic year, on the subject of clay shrinkage and swelling.

One is aimed at assessing the effectiveness of a treatment solution in inhibiting the phenomenon, while the second is aimed at assessing the development of the risk of shrink-swell in the context of an increase in extreme weather events linked to climate change. The two descriptions are attached:

• Development of an in-situ soil treatment solution for clay shrink-swell inhibition.
• Modeling soil-atmosphere interactions to study the clay shrink-swell hazard in a context of climate change.
