Abstract: A mass-conservative formulation of one-dimensional (1D) coupled large-strain consolidation and unsaturated flow using a piecewise-linear formulation is developed. The volume and water-content changes in the unsaturated ...

Abstract: A piecewise-linear formulation for simulating coupled large-strain consolidation and unsaturated flow using a mass-conservative and noniterative solution was developed in a companion paper and implemented in a proposed ...
