The research of this team deals with the development and use of modeling at several scales with the aim of improving the understanding of the behavior of geomaterials and infrastructures by taking into account the multi-scale nature of the problems encountered. It is a question of modeling the behavior and of characterizing materials by going from the nanoscale to the macroscopic scale<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Three main topics are considered in this team: topic 1<\/strong> focuses exclusively on studies at the nanoscale (modeling at small scales), topic 2<\/strong> is based on the different scales ranging from nano to macro and finally the topic 3<\/strong> focuses on modeling at the macroscopic scale.<\/p>\n

The subjects considered are mainly devoted to geomaterials at all scales up to that of the infrastructure, the various couplings (hydro-thermo-mechanical, physico-chemical ...) and the interaction of the structure with its environment.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the characterization of the various materials (including geomaterials) constitutes the main subject of topic 2 where we can note, in particular, experimental work based on instrumented indentation as well as its development.<\/p>\n

The works are classified into three topics:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
