The thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of expansive clays has been extensively studied in the last decades due to the potential use of bentonites as components of engineered barrier systems (EBS) ...
Olivella Pastallé, Sebastià (Date of defense: 1995-07-12)
Presentamos una formulación nueva para el análisis de problemas Termo-hidro-mecánicos en medios salinos. Esta formulación incluye, desde la obtención de ecuaciones de balance de masa, momento y energía ...

Cone penetration test (CPT) is a fast and reliable site investigation tool for exploring soils and soft ground. While the interpretation of the test results in clay has advanced considerably from a ...
Zhan, Zhifeng (Date of defense: 2012-06-19)
Based on the laboratory, field and numerical results, the post-rupture strength defined firstly by Burland (1990) is verified and introduced in this thesis to describe the two-stage post-peak ...
Puig Montellà, Eduard (Date of defense: 2019-07-16)
Numerical simulations at the pore scale are a way to study the behavior of multiphase flows encountered in many natural processes and industrial applications. In this work, liquid morphology and capillary ...
