RISStrength Evolution of Geomaterials in the Octahedral Plane under Nonisothermal and Unsaturated Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current geomechanical applications imply nonisothermal processes of unsaturated geomaterials, in most cases following stress paths different from the classical triaxial compression often used in laboratory testing. Although ...
Use of a Dual-Structure Constitutive Model for Predicting the Long-Term Behavior of an Expansive Clay Buffer in a Nuclear Waste Repository
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Expansive soils are suitable as backfill and buffer materials in engineered barrier systems to isolate heat-generating nuclear waste in deep geological formations. The canisters containing nuclear waste would be placed in ...
