The swell-forced movement wears out the anchor chains and the transport pipes of the offshore installations (e.g. oil or aeolian equipment). The deployment and the mainte[...]
The passive safety system must: be wind-resistant, break on impact
The main stages of the study were: Initial design, first static calculations to evaluate the resistanc[...]
This study aims at analysing the mechanical strength of boat racks located in a dry port, under wind and snow conditions.
The structure of the racks takes the shape of a[...]
Check the static and seismic strength of a bridge within the scope of increasing its hoisting capacity to 6,3 tons.
Context: Existing bridge crane (Bugey and Chinon ce[...]
Numerical simulation makes it possible to evaluate the stress levels and deformations of a mechanical part right from the design phase. It is important to consider the fa[...]
The Eurocode 7 (foundations) does not consider the risk level of the structure which leads to incoherent sizing in comparison with the superstructure. Thus, some foundati[...]
EDF operates more than 450 hydroelectric plants that are supplied by 250 km of pressure pipes, aged of more than 60 years in average. Status diagnostics are regularly per[...]
