The PumpET (Pump Erosion Test) is a field device dedicated to measuring the erodibility of submerged sediments. After a review of some of the many existing erodimeters, we will present the main steps in the development of the PumpET prototype and the results of the first experimental campaigns before concluding with the prospects for further develo...

Monitoring pavement condition during its service life is paramount in order to antici-pate and optimize the potential maintenance work. For this purpose, different non-destructive techniques (NDT) are used to evaluate the structure distresses condition and to provide necessary information for the maintenance tasks. On their own, they are limited to...
Shallow urban groundwater interacts with surface water and underground infrastructures. Low-impact development in urban water management by at-source infiltration should consider shallow urban groundwater in a holistic manner. Traditional hydrological models, however, rarely detail groundwater flows and their interaction with urban runoff and the w...
Microgrids are essential elements of the energy transition because they allow optimal use of renewable energy sources (photovoltaic panels, wind turbines) and storage devices (batteries, supercapacitors) by connecting them to consumption poles (e.g., buildings, charging stations of electric vehicles). Lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors are t...
The "Brittany-Loire" high-speed line (HSL BPL), connecting the cities of Rennes and Le Mans is the first large-scale application, in France, of ballasted tracks with bituminous sublayer and varied subgrade conditions. To evaluate the behaviour of this new type of track structure, and validate the design assumptions, it was decided to set in place a...
