A finite difference based tool for analysing ground source heat pump system
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Departament d'Enginyeria del Terreny, Cartogràfica i Geofísica, 2015-06-02)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertThe ground heat exchangers (GHE) consist of pipes buried in the soil and are used for transferring heat between the soil and the heat exchanger pipes of the ground source heat pump (GSHP). This paper presents the development ... -
A model for rockill compressibility
(Institution of Civil Engineers (http://www.ice.org.uk/), 2001)
Article
Accés obertThe paper presents a macroscopic constitutive model for rockill that includes the effect of water on compressibility and collapse phenomena. Breakage of rock particles and fracture propagation are basic underlying mechanisms ... -
A multi-disciplinary approach to assess the impact of global climate change on infrastructure in cold regions
(2008)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertImperial College London is researching with BP some potential impacts of future climate change. BP has a significant number of facilities in cold high-latitude regions, where global climate models predict significant rises ... -
A new efficient strategy to simulate particle breakage in DEM analyses
(2014)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe discrete element method (DEM) is increasingly gaining acceptance as a modelling tool for engineering problems of direct geotechnical relevance. One area for which the method seems naturally well adapted is that of ... -

Article
Accés obertThis paper presents a new interpretation procedure to estimate the initial state parameter from cone penetration testing (CPTu) in undrained conditions based on the results from a comprehensive set of numerical simulations ... -
A review of Beliche Dam
(Institution of Civil Engineers (http://www.ice.org.uk/), 2005)
Article
Accés obertBeliche Dam, a zoned earthdam with rockfill shouldersand a central clay core, experienced large collapse settlements due to reservoir impounding and direct action of rainfall. Long-term field records of vertical and ... -
A stabilized mixed three-field formulation for stress accurate analysis including the incompressible limit in finite strain solid dynamics
(2023)
Article
Accés obertIn this work a new methodology for finite strain solid dynamics problems for stress accurate analysis including the incompressible limit is presented. In previous works, the authors have presented the stabilized mixed ... -
A subloading surface clay and sand model
(2023)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertThe mechanical response of natural soils is characterized by a narrow elastic domain, a smooth transition between elastic to elasto-plastic regime, and hysteretic behaviour during cyclic loading. These realistic features ... -
Ageing effects on the small-strain stiffness of a bio-treated compacted soil
(2015-09)
Article
Accés obertThe effect of ageing on the small-strain shear stiffness of compacted silty-clayey sand following a ‘soft’ biological treatment is discussed. Samples were prepared by static compaction, adding urea-degrading bacteria to ... -
