Abstract: A boundary-element method for solving the fully coupled equations of thermoelastic consolidation is developed for multilayered media. Conditions of temperature, heat flux, pore pressure, hydraulic flux, displacement, and ...

Abstract: Conventional finite-element solutions of the diffusion–advection equation exhibit numerical oscillations around the exact solution in the presence of strong advective transport. Stabilized methods modifying the standard ...

Abstract: A multiphase, thermohydro-mechanical model of unsaturated soils is presented to assess the risk of desiccation of a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) in a composite lining system (i.e., a high-density polyethylene geomembrane ...
