Abstract: The first articulation of the second type of dilatational wave propagating through fluid-saturated geomaterials has been traced to Heinrich’s formulation built on Fillunger’s framework of the mixture theory and Terzaghi’s ...

Abstract: Frictional energy piles have been emerging as a proenvironmental means in the industry to exploit shallow geothermal energy. A growing concern for energy piles is their bearing capacity typically subjected to temperature ...

Abstract: This paper presents a work to define four fundamental concepts, namely, buoyant force, submerged unit weight, seepage force, and critical hydraulic gradients, for saturated geomaterials including soils, rocks, and concrete ...
