Utilisation d'un géosynthétique à double raideur pour le renforcement des remblais cohésifs sur cavités
National audienceThe results of an experimental campaign of reinforcement of thin cohesive soil embankments in the case of cavity collapse are presented in this paper. In particular, the aim is to test the effectiveness of a new type of double stiffness geosynthetic. A coupled DEM-FEM numerical model is validated based on these results and allows a better understanding of the soil-geosynthetic interaction phenomena mobilized during the collapse. Comparisons between the numerical and experimental results obtained with the two types of reinforcement (mono-stiffness and inverted bi-stiffness) make it possible to underline the interest of the innovative product developed.Les résultats d’une campagne expérimentale de renforcement de remblais en sol cohésif de faible épaisseur dans le cas d’effondrement de cavités sont présentés dans cette communication. Il s’agit en particulier de tester l’efficacité d’un nouveau type de géosynthétique à double raideur. Un modèle numérique couplé DEM-FEM d’un sol renforcé par un géosynthétique est validé sur la base de ces résultats et permet une meilleure compréhension des phénomènes d’interaction sol-géosynthétique mobilisés lors de l’effondrement. Des comparaisons entre les résultats numériques et expérimentaux obtenus avec les deux types de renfort (mono-raideur et bi-raideur inversée) permettent de souligner l’intérêt du produit innovant développé

The role of vapor fraction in hydrocarbon mist explosion
International audienceThe modern world depends greatly on hydrocarbons which are ubiquitous, indispensable fuels used in nearly every existing industry. Although important, their use may trigger dangerous incidents, whether in their production, handling, storage, or transporting phase, especially when aerosolized. In light of proposing a standard procedure to assess the flammability and explosivity of fuel mists, a new test method was established based on the EN 14034 standard. For the previous purposes, a gravity-fed mist generation system was designed and employed in a modified 20 L explosion vessel. This test method allowed the determination of the ignition sensitivity of several fuels. In addition, their explosion severity was represented by the explosion overpressure Pm, and the rate of pressure rise dP/dtm, two thermo-kinetic parameters determined with a specifically developed control system and custom software. Nonetheless, a noticeable difference in the ignition sensitivity and the explosion severity was perceived when changing suppliers or petroleum cuts of some fuels. Moreover,sensitivity studies showed that both the droplet size distribution and the temperature of the droplets play a significant role in fuel mist explosion. These parameters can be directly related to the vapor fraction surrounding a droplet during its ignition. Consequently, this study focuses on the influence of varying the composition of three well-known and abundantly used fuels. Different petroleum cuts were introduced in different fractions into isooctane, Jet A1 aviation fuel, and diesel fuel mixtures which were then aerosolized into a uniformly distributed turbulent mist cloud and ignited using spark ignitors of 100 J. Subsequently, the same tests were executed in a vertical flame propagation tube coupled with a high-speed video camera allowing the visualization of the flame and the determination of the spatial flame velocity, and estimation of the laminar burning velocity. The latter was also estimated from the pressure-time evolution in the 20 L sphere using existing correlations. Indeed, thedetermination of the laminar burning velocity can be useful in modeling such accidents. Finally, highlighting the essential role of the mist and vapor fraction during their ignition has led to a better understanding of their explosion mechanisms
