Abstract

Le programme de calcul GEOCAL est un programme par éléments finis à trois ou deux dimensions qui permet l’analyse transitoire complètement couplee de phénomènes mécaniques f hydrauliques et thermiques. Ce code de calcul t en dĕveloppement constant t est plus particulièrement destine aux études de fondations et d’ouvrages Souterrains : consolidation, excavations dans l z argile, congélation, interpretation d’essais in situ, enfouissement géologique des déchets nucléaires … The computer code GEOCAL is a three or two dimensional finite element code designed for time transient analyses of the fully coupled mechanical, hydraulical and thermal phenomena. This code, in constant development is more precisely designed for the design of the foundations and of the underground excavations : consolidation f tunnelling in clay f artificial ground freezing f backanalyses of in situ tests f geological repositories of nuclear wastes …
