The range of problems that geotechnical engineers must face is increasing in complexity
and scope. Often, complexity arises from the interaction between the soil and the …

This paper describes a thermo-hydro-mechanical framework suitable for modelling the
behaviour of unsaturated soils. In particular, this paper focuses on bentonite clay subjected …

Scarcity of fresh water has led to use of low quality waters (high sodicity and salinity) that
were considered unsuitable for irrigation in the past. Mismanagement of irrigation using this …

In this study, soil volumetric water content and temperature variations are analyzed in an
embankment constructed at Héricourt in France. A fully coupled hydro-thermal soil model is …

Surface and subsurface fire in municipal solid waste landfills (including dumpsites) is a
complex and intricate phenomenon, frequency of which is expected to increase due to …

A coupled chemo-hydro-mechanical model for compacted bentonite based on the
Barcelona expansive model (BExM) that distinguishes between the microstructure and …

This paper presents a numerical multiscale formulation for analysis of the transient heat and
fluid flow in deformable heterogeneous porous media. Due to the heterogeneity of the …

Accounting for interaction of the soil's constituents due to temperature change in the design
of geo-thermal infrastructure requires numerical algorithms capable of reproducing the …

Unsaturated clay is a heterogeneous porous medium consisting of three phases, namely
solid soil skeleton, pore water, and pore air. It has been well recognized that the variation of …

This paper presents the inclusion of explicit dual poroelastic mechanical behaviour as part
of an existing dual porosity numerical model of multiphase, multicomponent chemical-gas …
