Abstract: Constitutive models for partially saturated soils often assume linear relationships for the variation of shear strength with suction and the shape of the partially saturated isotropic compression lines. It has been ...

Abstract: A temperature rise in soils is usually accompanied by an increase in excess pore fluid pressure due to the differential thermal expansion coefficients of the pore fluid and soil particles. To model the transient behavior ...

Abstract: Ground source energy systems (GSES) utilize low enthalpy geothermal energy and have been recognized as an efficient means of providing low carbon space heating and cooling. This study focuses on GSES where the exchange of ...
