    • Numerical modelling of two-phase flow in fractured rock masses using zero-thickness interface elements 

      Barandiarán Villegas, Lucía Belén; Liaudat, Joaquín; López Garello, Carlos María; Carol, Ignacio (International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2021)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      In recent years, the authors and co-workers have developed a 3D finite element model for coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) problems in fractured rock masses. Zero-thickness interface elements are used for taking into ...
    • Rate-dependent behaviour of fracture propagation in salt rock 

      Escanellas Tur, Andreu; Camara Zapata, Eduardo; Liaudat, Joaquín; Carol, Ignacio (CRC Press, 2022)
      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      This paper describes an on-going experimental and numerical modelling research project on salt rock specimens. The experimental part of the study consists of a number of Mode I fracture tests with the WST (Wedge-Splitting ...
    • Recent developments in durability mesomechanics of concrete, including cracking via interface elements 

      Liaudat, Joaquín; Rodríguez, Mariana; López Garello, Carlos María; Carol, Ignacio (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      The mesomechanical model for concrete previously developed for purely mechanical actions, is used as the basis for coupled durability mechanics calculations. Until now, the phenomena studied include drying shrinkage, ...
    • Zero-thickness interface model with chemical degradation by acid attack 

      Martínez Estévez, Ariadna; Liaudat, Joaquín; López Garello, Carlos María; Carol, Ignacio (2019)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Carbon dioxide (CO2) storage in abandoned oil/gas reservoirs is considered a viable alternative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. An important element of the risk associated with long-term CO2 storage ...
