Abstract: A theory is presented to simulate the consolidation of elastic porous media saturated by two immiscible Newtonian fluids. The macroscopic equations, including mass and momentum balance equations and constitutive relations, ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional multiphase numerical model is developed to simulate the vertical settlement involving liquid and gas flows in a deformable (settling) municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill. MSW is represented by a chemical ...

Abstract: Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills are not only used to dispose the refuse in most economical way but also utilized as a viable land in today’s waste management strategy. Settlement prediction is an important issue in ...

Abstract: Lattice models are well suited for crack simulations; however, their use has been mostly limited to the fracture of plain concrete. In this study, a practical two-dimensional mesoscale lattice composed of overlapping ...

Abstract: A theory for one-dimensional self-weight subsidence of saturated soft porous media is presented. The problem is formulated in terms of volume solid fraction using the Eulerian coordinates. Two different types of constitutive ...
