structures is presented. The fundamental heat transfer processes relevant to the problem are …

Moisture dynamics in brick, stone and concrete has a controlling influence on the durability
and performance of the built environment. Water Transport in Brick, Stone and Concrete …

This paper presents a complete finite‐element treatment for unsaturated soil problems. A
new formulation of general constitutive equations for unsaturated soils is first presented. In …

Certain wastes such as nuclear wastes, are so hazardous that their disposal creates a major
challenge requiring considerable technical skill and understanding. Their effective isolation …

This paper introduces the development and implementation of a multiphysical model to
simulate the coupled hydro-thermo-mechanical processes in freezing unsaturated porous …

A fully coupled numerical model to simulate the slow transient phenomena involving heat
and mass transfer in deforming porous media is developed. It makes use of the modified …

A coupled heat transfer and water flow model implemented in COMSOL and validated
against measurements from a tank scale test was applied to investigate the application of …

This paper presents a new theoretical formulation of coupled heat, moisture, and air transfer
in unsaturated soil. A mechanistic approach is adopted that extends a previous potential …

This book is interdisciplinary in character and combines the knowledge of me chanics and
chemical engineering with the aim of presenting a more exhaustive analysis ofthe …

A rigorous and unified treatment of the theory of non-isothermal flow and deformation in
unsaturated porous media is presented. The governing equations based on the equations of …
