An elastoplastic model of bentonite free swelling
(2014)
This article proposes a new plastification mechanism to model bentonite free swelling processes by using an elastoplastic approach. The formulation is based on an interaction function that defines the plastic macrostructural ...
Volumetric deformability and water mass exchange of bentonite aggregates
(2013)
A constitutive model of the volumetric behaviour of bentonite aggregates is proposed. The model is based on a state function to define the inter-aggregate (microstructural) void ratio and on a mass transfer function to ...
A multicriteria system for the monitoring and alert of the cracks found in Santos Morcillo lake, central Spain
(2014)
This article describes the multicriteria Monitoring and Alert System designed to allow safe access to Santos Morcillo Lake (located in Ruidera Lakes Natural Park, Central Spain). In the spring of 2007, two families of ...
Multiphysics implementation of advanced soil mechanics models
(2014)
Using multiphysics computer codes has become a useful tool to solve systems of partial differential equations. However, these codes do not always allow for the free introduction of implicitly defined state functions when ...
