    Background Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and affects people regardless of country, age group, or sex. Using the most recent evidentiary and analytical framework from the Global ...

  • A subloading surface clay and sand model 

    Pinedo Vilcahuamán, Paul José; Monforte Vila, Lluís; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos; Gens Solé, Antonio (2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    The 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 ...

  • Modelling a hydration and heating column test on unsaturated bentonite using a double-porosity approach 

    Barboza de Vasconcelos, Ramón; Gens Solé, Antonio; Vaunat, Jean; Rodríguez Romero, Carlos Eduardo; Villar Galicia, María Victoria (EDP Sciences, 2023)
    Article
    Open Access
    A controlled re-saturation of a heated 50 cm long column made of MX-80 bentonite pellets in the CIEMAT laboratory facilities (Madrid, Spain) has been running for 10 years (2011-2021). The experimental data on the saturation ...

  • Homogenization of unsaturated bentonite during hydration 

    Gens Solé, Antonio; Barboza de Vasconcelos, Ramón; Rodríguez Romero, Carlos Eduardo; Vaunat, Jean; Villar Galicia, María Victoria (EDP Sciences, 2023)
    Article
    Open Access
    Bentonite barriers are a key component in may designs of deep geological repositories for high level nuclear waste. During the hydration stage, the bentonite undergoes non-uniform changes in dry density that may persist ...

  • Digital image-based analysis of a small-scale dam failure during wetting 

    Morales Flauzín, Gerardo; Pinyol Puigmartí, Núria Mercè; Lloret Morancho, Antonio (EDP Sciences, 2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    The use of digital images and the correlation of them in time is commonly used in geotechnical laboratory experiments to measure surface variables in a non-invasive and massive way. Digital image correlation-based methods ...

  • Exploring material heterogeneity in gas flow simulation through clay materials: a numerical study 

    Sayad Noghretab, Babak; Puig Damians, Ivan; Olivella Pastallé, Sebastià; Gens Solé, Antonio (2023)
    Conference lecture
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This paper presents the results of the initial molding of the large-scale gas injection test 1 (Lasgit) conducted at the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory in Sweden. Lasgit is a field test that follows the Swedish KBS-3V disposal ...

  • Modelling soil-vegetation-atmosphere in a field experiment 

    Badakhshan, Ehsan; Vaunat, Jean (2023)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In this paper, a soil-atmosphere-vegetation interaction, comprised of the state of the atmosphere and its interactions with vegetation in terms of precipitation, wind, temperature, and radiation, is used based on a Finite ...

  • Exploring viscous effects on numerical simulations of static liquefaction triggering 

    Pinedo Vilcahuamán, Paul José; Besenzon, Davide; Mánica Malcom, Miguel Ángel; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos; Gens Solé, Antonio (Gecamin, 2022)
    Conference lecture
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Failures due to static liquefaction have been too frequent in tailings dams. Stress-deformation numerical analyses based on critical state theory are able to reproduce those failures and may be used to gain insight into ...

  • A time-to-facture DEM model for simulating creep in rough crushable sand 

    Lei, Jiangtao; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos; Ciantia, Matteo Oryem; Zhang, Ningning (2023)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    A contact model able to capture creep of crushable sands within a discrete element method (DEM) framework is presented. Time dependency is established through stress-corrosion induced grain fracture. This is grafted onto ...

  • 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 ...

  • Influence of numerical model mesh properties on predicted in soil temperature, relative humidity and degree of saturation of reinforced soil structures
