The main objective of SSHEAR (Soils, Structures and Hydraulics: Expertise and Applied Research) is to improve understanding of scouring process through the use of innovative observation tools and physical and numerical hydraulic modelling, from laboratory to full-scale, for the purpose of optimizing methods specific to diagnostics, advanced warning and general management procedures (http://sshear.ifsttar.fr/).

The main objective of MENTOR (MEasurement sites conception method for sewer NeTwORks.) consists to propose a methodology for the design and the audit of discharge and particulate pollutant loads measurement sites in sewer systems. This project takes benefit of the COACHS project.
