Rainfall is one of the most significant triggering factors for slope failures in many regions
around the world. Numerous research studies have been conducted to investigate infiltration …

Energy geotechnics involves the use of geotechnical principles to understand and engineer
the coupled thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical processes encountered in collecting …

Unsaturated soil mechanics has rapidly become a part of geotechnical engineering practice
as a result of solutions that have emerged to a number of key problems (or challenges). The …

An improved relationship for the variation of degree of saturation in an unsaturated soil is
presented, incorporating the influence of changes of void ratio. When combined with an …

Rainfall-induced landslides pose a significant threat to the public safety in many parts of the
world especially in tropical or subtropical mountainous areas. The research field of …

Innovative and state-of-the-art, using clear illustrations and numerous worked examples, this
book explains core, yet highly complex, topics such as critical state modelling, centrifuge …

This work presents the development of a 3D hybrid coupled dual continuum and discrete
fracture model for simulating coupled flow, reaction and deformation processes relevant to …

The soil movement information over time is required for the design of foundations placed in
expansive soils. This information is also helpful for the assessment of pre-wetting and …

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 …

This paper presents the application of a thermal-hydraulic-chemical model to simulate (1) a
laboratory small-scale borehole combustion experiment using high-ash-content coal and (2) …
