Abstract: Unsaturated soil is widely distributed in geotechnical projects, of which the consolidation and settlement are of great importance. Based on the consolidation theory of unsaturated soil, proposed by Fredlund and Hansan, ...

Abstract: The analysis of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviors of porous media is the research focus in diverse areas. In this study, fully coupled symmetric governing equations for thermo-hydro-mechanical process in saturated ...

Abstract: When simulating large rotation, the false volume expansion and elastic distortion problems of the block occurs severely in the original discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA). In this study, a new displacement formula ...
