Experimental Study of Soil Water Characteristic Curve for a Clayey Soil Reinforced with Model Geocell for Freezing-Thawing Cycles [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The category of geosynthetics includes geocells as a common subclass. As a low-cost, easilyinstalled solution to soil stabilisation problems, geocells are gaining popularity in the field of geotechnical engineering.

A coupled hydro – mechanical approach for modelling the volume change behaviour of compacted bentonite [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 The volumetric response of compacted bentonites against environmental actions is a key aspect in most designs of nuclear waste repositories. The safety assessment of such repositories must account for robust and reliable models of stress–strain for ...

A general mathematical framework for modelling soil-water retention behaviour [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2021 A new constitutive model for the soil-water retention behaviour of unsaturated soils is proposed, able to reproduce the main drying and wetting paths, the cyclic retention behaviour and its dependence on the specific volume.

Modelling the water retention behaviour of anisotropic soils
Journal of Hydrology, 2021 Abstract Water retention curve (WRC) is an important parameter for unsaturated soils. It is greatly affected by the anisotropy of pore structure, as supported by experimental results in the literature. So far, however, the mechanism and theoretical modelling of anisotropy effects have not been investigated.

SimuIating landsIides using two-phase two-point material point method [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Material point method (MPM) is an effective numerical method for large-deformation analysis under unsaturated conditions. In the previous studies, water retention ability and permeability function were assumed to be Independent of soil deformation ...

On the Water Retention Behaviour of Shales [PDF]
Fourth EAGE Shale Workshop, 2014 The involvement of shales in engineering fields such as the extraction of shale gas or the nuclear waste geological disposal is mainly driven by the low permeability and the high retention properties of these geomaterials. The high capillary forces developed in the matrix of the shales allow the fluid trapping with the consequence that the material ...

An experimental investigation on the water retention behaviour of a silty soil for the computation of the lateral earth thrust on a retaining wall [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 Retaining structures often interact with soils in unsaturated conditions and their performance is influenced by environmental actions. Currently, geotechnical analysis and design approaches mainly consider the soils either totally dry or totally ...
