  • Coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviour of a deep clay 

    Sau Valenzuela, Núria; Romero Morales, Enrique Edgar; Van Baelen, H (EDP Sciences, 2019)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    An experimental study on Ypresian clays –one of the potential deep formations in Belgium for the geological disposal of heat-emitting radioactive waste– was undertaken to systematically study its thermal properties and ...

  • Multi-scale effects on the hydraulic behaviour of a root-permeated and compacted soil 

    Fraccica, Alessandro; Romero Morales, Enrique Edgar; Fourcaud, Thierry (EDP Sciences, 2019)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    While roots have been generally proved to be beneficial to soil mechanical behaviour, different and counterposed results have been found when investigating their effects on soil hydraulic response. Roots affect the ...

  • Excavation-induced instabilities

    The aim of this chapter is to show the capabilities of MPM to simulate geotechnical problems dealing with soil excavation. The stability of supported vertical excavation in elasto-plastic material is analyzed. Results are ...

  • Analytical solutions of velocity profile in flow through submerged vegetation with variable frontal width 

    Wang, Wei-Jie; Huai, Wen-Xin; Li, Shuolin; Wang, Ping; Wang, Yufei; Zhang, Jiao (Elsevier, 2019-11)
    Article
