    • Análisis numérico y experimental de la evaporación en la interfase suelo - atmósfera 

      Encalada López, David Alejandro (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-06)
      Master thesis
      Open Access
      Hay medidas de campo que sugieren que la evaporación en las superficies de suelos saturados es más rápida que en superficies de agua líquida. Hay sin embargo medidas de laboratorio que sugieren lo contrario. Factores como ...

    • Evaluating innovative direct and indirect soil suction and volumetric measurement techniques for the determination of soil water retention curves following drying and wetting paths 

      Najdi, Abdallah; Encalada López, David Alejandro; Mendes, Joao; Prat Catalán, Pere; Ledesma Villalba, Alberto (Elsevier, 2023-09)
      Article
      Open Access
      Soil Water Retention Curves (SWRC) are a main characterising component in constitutive models developed for describing unsaturated soils behaviour. Their determination requires establishing a combination of accurate soil ...

    • High Capacity Tensiometers: performance and behaviours 

      Mendes, Joao; Jamali, Armin; Najdi, Abdallah; Encalada López, David Alejandro; Bruno, Agostino; Prat Catalán, Pere; Buzzi, Olivier; Gallipoli, Domenico; Ledesma Villalba, Alberto; Toll, David (EDP Sciences, 2023-04)
      Article
      Open Access
      High capacity tensiometers (HCT) allow the direct measurement of soil matric suction, and their major limitation is the occurrence of cavitation. In this paper HCT designs using different ceramic filters with varied air ...

    • Influence of compaction on the soil shrinkage and swelling curves 

      Encalada López, David Alejandro; Najdi, Abdallah; Mendes, Joao; Prat Catalán, Pere; Ledesma Villalba, Alberto (EDP Sciences, 2023-04)
      Article
      Open Access
      The behaviour of soils undergoing deformation due to changes in water content can be described using Soil Shrinkage Curves (SSCs). The SSCs are normally influenced by several factors as the soil’s fabric, different compaction ...

    • Mitigación de grietas por desecación en suelos finos mediante el uso de fibras sintéticas 

      Hernández Valerio, Carolina; Botero Jaramillo, Eduardo; Encalada López, David Alejandro; Najdi, Abdallah; Prat Catalán, Pere; Ledesma Villalba, Alberto (Sociedad Mexicana de Ingeniería Geotécnica (SMIG), 2022)
      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Los suelos arcillosos tienen la propiedad de hincharse en presencia de agua y contraerse en su ausencia, produciendo así grietas por desecación que alteran significativamente su desempeño mecánico e hidráulico. En este ...

    • Soil surface boundary condition in desiccating soils 

      Cuadrado Cabello, Agustín; Encalada López, David Alejandro; Ledesma Villalba, Alberto; Prat Catalán, Pere (The Icelandic Geotechnical Society (IGS), 2019)
      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Soils undergoing desiccation exhibit shrinkage and eventually cracking. That may become an environmental problem in practical applications. From a Geotechnical perspective, it is possible to solve the corresponding ...

    • Towards the development on new high capacity tensiometers capable of measuring soil matric suction beyond 3 MPa 

      Mendes, Joao; Najdi, Abdallah; Encalada López, David Alejandro; Prat Catalán, Pere; Ledesma Villalba, Alberto (2022-09)
      Article
      Open Access
      High capacity tensiometers (HCT) are the only type of sensors in existence that can measure soil matric suction directly and are regarded to be the most accurate and reliable technique for the study of suction evolution ...
