The first objective of this thesis is to study sequences of thrusting in accretionary wedges and in fold-and-thrust belts by application of limit analysis. The method, inherited from civil engineering, is adapted here for structural geology problems with the objective to determine the dominant failure mode responsible for folding. Cubas et al. (2008) applied the external approach, analytically, to sequences of thrusting, predicting the position and the life span of a give thrust, and of course the least upper bound on the tectonic force. The complementary approach, the internal approach, provides the stress distribution at each step of the shortening of the structure as well as the best lower bound on the tectonic force. This optimization p...
