Modelling large deformation problems in unsaturated soils [PDF]
, 2016 Applications of unsaturated soil mechanics often involve large deformations and displacements. This is the case of collapse behaviour of low density soils or the unrestrained swelling of expansive clays.

Modelling and calculating lateral pressure of expansive soil-EPS inclusion-retaining wall system
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2021 The thermal fields and thermal expansion are used to simulate the moisture fields and swelling of expansive soils upon wetting in this study. The thermal-mechanical coupled finite element analysis is employed to simulate the "expansive soil-EPS inclusion-

Modelling the thermo-mechanical volume change behaviour of compacted expansive clays [PDF]
, 2009 Compacted expansive clays are often considered as a possible buffer material in high-level deep radioactive waste disposals. After the installation of waste canisters, the engineered clay barriers are subjected to thermo-hydro-mechanical actions in the ...

Lime stabilisation for earthworks: a UK perspective [PDF]
, 2014 Lime stabilisation is a versatile technique applied during earthworks operations. Modern soil recycling units are much more efficient at pulverising fill material and intermixing the added binder/water than machinery available 20 years ago.
