Modeling of the behavior of the geomaterials : contribution of the numerical method of up-scaling

The work of modeling present in this thesis relates to the study of the hydro-poro-mechanics behavior of geomaterials with the numerical approach of up-scaling. This work is based on le the conceptual geomaterials model, of finite element extended (XFEM) code develop in Matlab or IIM, coupling with the homogenization method to obtain the laws of macroscopic behavior drawn from the relations of Micro-Macro passage. In this model, the elementary volume representative of the mediums heterogeneous is composed of an argillaceous matrix containing of calcite and quartz mineral inclusions or of the pores. Firstly, this procedure with XFEM was carried out for the determination of the effective properties linear of the geomaterial. Then, a study on the influence of the distribution, morphology, and the orientation of inclusions on the equivalent behavior in the field of linear elasticity was carried out by crossing many numerical studies. In the third time, we modeled the mechanical behavior non linear of the geomaterial by using XFEM and the modified method Newton-Raphson. Lastly, the modeling of the hydraulic behavior is carried out by IIM, it was validated by the comparison with the analytical approach.
