INTERNAL EROSION RESEARCH - Key Persons
is a Professor in the Civil Eng. Dept of IUT of Saint-Nazaire and at the Institute GeM. Since 2002, he has developed a new research field at UN, dedicated to the study of internal erosion processes. Prof. Marot is the head of the research team "Interactions between Water and Geomaterials" of the Institute GeM. He is also the head of the research group focusing on experimental characterizations and numerical simulations of internal erosion processes and their consequences on the soils mechanical behavior.
Areas of expertise
Development of prototypes (5 dedicated to the characterization of internal erosion processes) : experimental soil characterization // suffusion test // jet erosion test // hole erosion test // triaxial test
Grégory Coubard is a civil engineer specialized in the field of dam structures. Graduated in civil engineering from the Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France, he has more than 10 years of experience in the stability and behavior analysis of concrete gravity and arch dams. He recently joined the geotechnics department and is now involved in safety reassessment of embankment dams and dikes including the erosion process issue.
is a Doctor in Process Engineering. She joined Capacités and the research team "Interactions between Water and Geomaterials" of the GeM Institute in 2010 after a dedicated training in Civil Engineering. She is responsible for meeting business needs and expectations in terms of innovation, product and process development, in partnership with the researchers of the team. She also actively contributes to the design of new equipment and to the development of new testing procedures.
Areas of expertise
R&D engineer. Doctor of Environmental Process Engineering; Specialties: construction materials and more particularly geomaterials: formulation, characterization and testing, project management
