En Génie Côtier, les contraintes de cisaillement des sols marins frottants sous l’action de la houle et des courants étaient jusqu’alors définies par des modèles de laboratoire difficilement applicables en nature.
Nous proposons ici une extension de ces méthodes à partir de mesures « in situ » et de modèles statistiques mettant en évidence d’autres paramètres de distribution, en particulier un diamètre maximal (D max) de grains mobiles sous l’effet de contraintes océanographiques maximales.
La bonne corrélation entre cette théorie et l’expérimentation a permis de mettre au point une méthodologie de l'estimation du comportement de la couche mobile superficielle, généralisable à tout sol marin frottant.
Abstract
The understanding of the behaviour of sea-bottom soils under the action of swells and currents, is of great importance in coastal engineering. Numerical methods, which cannot be easily applied in situ, have been presented by many scientists in hydraulic laboratories to predict the shear strength of cohesionless soils particles at equilibrium between stability and movement.
We have developed these methods by field measurement and statistical analysis revealing the typical friction parameters by swells and currents, such as D max, i.e. the maximal diameter of sediments mobilized by highest tempests.
The good correlation between our prediction and experiments, enables us to extend this methodology to various marine cohesionless soils, and particularly to point out the importance of the first layer of the see-bottom soil, which may be called « mobile layer ».
