EVALUATION FIELDS
1. Scientific Activity
1.1 The three most important outcomes/results of the research activity of the candidate accompanied
by the tangible and verifiable evidence that the presented results:
• are original, significant and due to the determining, prevailing and clearly recognizable
contribution of the candidate;
• have been widely spread and have obtained outstanding recognitions by the international
scientific community;
• qualify the candidate as a distinguished international expert in his/her own field.
1.1.1) Between 2006 and 2012, I took part fully in the French National Project of research ASIRI
(Improving Soil by Rigid Inclusions), which was initiated with more than 40 various stakeholders
(private companies, public laboratories and French universities) with a total funding amount of 2.7
M€. ).
In this context, I took the lead in the numerical modelling part for the French National Project, which
represented 600 k€. During this Project, four PhD thesis were defended under my responsibility (O.
Jenck, Mr. Nunez, U. Okyay and H. Lajevardi - the title of the PhD and more details are given in
part 2 of this document).
Under my responsibility, the numerical simulation of a full-scale test was carried out. In a first
phase, a benchmark without experimental results was written and submitted to the scientific
community based on only laboratory soil tests, geometry and loading modes. This phase has shown
the difficulty of designing the structures reinforced by rigid inclusions. In a second phase, additional
tests were made and allowed to reach a good agreement between numerical models and experimental
results. The knowledge of the shearing mechanisms at the top of the rigid inclusions was been
greatly improved.
Due to the amount of the work done during this National Project of research, I contributed to the
team responsible for writing and compiling a guide with recommendations for the design on
reinforced soils by rigid inclusions (http://www.presses-des-ponts.fr/notre-librairie/303-projetnational-asiri.html). The technical guide was been finalized in 2012 in French and English
languages.
Several international journal papers were been published on this topic (papers number 7, 9, 11, 12,
14, 18, 30, 38, 43, 47, 53, 54, 65 and 69 which references are given in the list at the end of my CV).
The publications on international journals had also been followed by the participation in 11
international conferences (list given in part 3 of this document) with oral presentations on the given
topic.
1.1.2) In the PhD thesis of Guilhem Mollon (defended in 2010), original deterministic models to
study the behavior of tunnels had been developed. These models allowed the incorporation of the
spatial variability of the soil properties thanks to the geometrical construction of the mechanisms by
spatial discretization. These original models for stability design of the tunnel face were used in a
probabilistic framework. The method of the stochastic collocation surface response had been
developed and refined to obtain low computational cost time to do parametric studies on soil
probabilistic properties. In a second part, the spatial variability of soil properties was taken into
account by means of the random field theory. The effect of the spatial variability was evaluated and
new phenomena related to this variability was highlighted.
Several international journal papers were published on this topic (papers number 13, 15, 16, 20, 21,
22, 32 and 33 which references are given in the list at the end of my CV). Nine oral presentations of
this work were also been presented in international conferences.
During this PhD thesis the collaboration with the National University of Singapore was been
initiated with prof. K.K. Phoon who is well-known in the reliability scientific field. The PhD student
G. Mollon spent six months working on this subject in theNational University of Singapore. This
collaboration led to several international papers, which given at the end of my CV).
After this PhD thesis, another international collaboration took place with the Technical University of
Madrid, with Professor. R. Jimenez, who is well-known in the Limit Analysis Field..
1.1.3) The observational method, described in the geotechnical Eurocode, is usually applied for long
tunnels in order to adapt the excavation and the lining using on-site observations such as the
excavation convergence and the lining efforts. The application of the observational method permits
to better take into account of the soil/rock properties and to optimize the tunnel excavations. In this
framework, I was the supervisor of the PhD thesis of S. Eclaircy. The goal of this research was to
develop and to test on a real underground work a new methodology. Firstly, it consists to link the onsite observations with the numerical calculations to define alert criteria with respect to the site safety.
Secondly it permits to adapt in real time the excavation and the lining to the real conditions
encountered in the field.
This work was taken into account as experimental support for the French tunnel construction
excavated during two years (2005/2006). This work has permitted to create a database of
experimental data (soil mass movements, convergences of the radial tunnel walls and of the face,
stress evolution on the steel ribs).
To identify the mechanical parameters of the soil mass, inverse analysis methods (deterministic:
gradients and probabilistic methods: evolutionary strategies) were been coupled with finite element
or finite difference software. Both, optimization methods were been tested and compared with the
experimental database tunnels as well as other measurements were obtained during the excavation of
a hydroelectric plant (joint research work with a Portuguese scientifical team: the University of
Minho – prof. A. Gomes Correia and prof. T. Miranda). This work highlighted the number of
possible parameters to be determined by inverse analysis and limitations of this approach.
Several journal papers were published on this topic (papers number 24, 36, 60 and 61 which
references are given in the list at the end of my CV). Six oral presentations were done in
international conferences.
1.2 List of the submitted publications (with a maximum number of 20) in addition to those listed at
point 1.1. For each publication and/or set of publications, the candidate is required to briefly
describe his/her contribution, their scientific/technical significance and individual importance,

The inclusion of geosynthetics in a soil mass reinforced by rigid inclusions was investigated from the
experimental point of view (centrifuge). An experimental database was created and then numerical

density of the soil mass during the loading and led therefore on a better understanding of the shearing
mechanisms within the granular mattress.

Management and organisation of exhibitions, compositions, drawings, design, hand-crated items,
prototypes, artwork and their projects, databases and software, thematic maps, for the Academic
Fields, where this is appropriate.
I was member of the organizing committee (in collaboration with R. Kastner and F. Emeriault) of the 3rd
International Symposium on Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground (IS Toulouse 2002) under the Technical Committee TC28 of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and
Geotechnical Engineering, held in Toulouse from the 23rd to the 25th October of 2002 (about 150 written
communications).
I was also Member of the scientific board of several European congresses (Portugal and Italy).
The National Project ASIRI led me to be at the heart of the organization results broadcast days. The first oral
presentations of the ASIRi’s national research project were held at INSA Lyon during two days (22 and 23
April 2010). Then at the end of the Project, two other results restitution days were organized. The first in
Lyon (22 September 2011) and the second in Toulouse (10 November 2011). One hundred people were
participated at each of these days.
If the candidate has obtained the National Scientific Qualification in more than one Academic Field this
must be considered a qualifying element, for properly evaluating the scientific reputation of the candidate.
