Abstract: A theoretical approach for calculating pyrite oxidation in acid sulfate soil with a macropore/matrix structure is described. This approach accounts for vertical oxygen transport through soil macropores and the subsequent ...

Abstract: This study highlights a mathematical (analytical) model simulating the filtration phenomenon applicable to a base soil-filter system, incorporating the hydraulic conditions and the relevant material properties such as ...

Abstract: Fracture flow of two-phase mixtures is particularly applicable to the coal mining and coal bed methane projects in Australia. A one-dimensional steady-state pseudo-two-phase flow model is proposed for fractured rock. The ...

Abstract: The present study provides a methodology to include the smear effect of vertical drains in a two-dimensional (2D) plane-strain finite-element model, employing the modified Cam-clay theory. The analysis is conducted by ...

Abstract: This paper is mainly concerned with a laboratory study to investigate the effect of smear due to vertical drain installation. The extent of the smear zone around a vertical drain was studied utilizing a large-scale ...

Abstract: The accurate flow measurement of each individual phase is important in unsaturated flow through rock joints, where both air and water phases flow together. An increase in the quantity of one fluid phase decreases the ...

Abstract: One important component in the design of tunnels in urban areas is a correct assessment of the interaction between the underground excavation with other structures in the vicinity. In this sense a correct stress-strain ...
