Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, Ineris and GeoRessources, it is my pleasure to invite you to the 1rst Computational & Geoenvironmental Geomechanics for Underground and Subsurface Structures Symposium, to be hold from February 12 to 14, 2019, at Nancy, France.
Thermodynamics of hydrogen storage in salt cavities:
Speciality: Geosciences and Geoenergy
Doctoral school: GRNE – Géosciences, Ressources Naturelles et Environnement
Research unity: Centre of Geosciences – Fontainebleau France
Key words: Thermodynamics, mechanics of solids, numerical modelization
PhD Topic: A non-destructive verification tool for imaging the 3D shape of grout injected into near surface soils
This PhD project aims to develop a non-destructive verification tool for imaging the 3D shape of grout injected into near surface soils. Over the past 10 years, researchers at Strathclyde, in partnership with the Construction Company, BAM Nuttall, have been developing new grouting technologies for in-situ ground improvement and for repair of existing infrastructure. Key to successful commercialisation of these new grouting technologies is maintaining industrial confidence. Whilst in-situ injection strategies are highly attractive, both financially and environmentally, the physical extent of treated soil is extremely difficult to establish, making it hard to demonstrate success. An ideal solution to this issue would be to develop a tool that can detect the 3D shape of the grouted soil volume within the subsurface. At present, no commercial technology is available that can achieve this.
The Bureau of ALERT Geomaterials has decided to fund the Ioannis Vardoulakis PhD Prize 2018. Since 2016, the PhD prize is entitled Ioannis Vardoulakis PhD Prize to commemorate Prof. Vardoulakis and his contributions to research and teaching in the field of Geomechanics.
The participation to the prize is open to all the PhD students coming from institutions belonging to ALERT, that have discussed their PhD thesis in 2017. The deadline for the applications is 31st May, 2018. The application procedure has to be done completely online via the application form (the application period is over).
The rules, agenda and further details are to be found on the ALERT website
In the framework of a research program on geothermal energy partially supported by
Dassault-System, Mines ParisTech is offering a 12 months post-doc contract, ideally starting on September 1st, 2018.
After the increasingly successful conferences held in Tokyo (1995), Lisbon (1999), Berkeley (2004), Thessaloniki (2007), Santiago (2011), and Christchurch (2015), the 7th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering – 7ICEGE (www.7icege.com) will take place in Roma (Italy) on june, 17-20 in 2019.
A 18 month full-time postdoc position is available at the University of Poitiers (IC2MP Laboratory) in France on the “Numerical modelling of hydraulically induced damages and crack propagation under partially-saturated conditions”. Please see the attachment for further details.
