The hydro-mechanical behaviour of MX80 bentonite pellet-based mixture (80% high-density pellets in dry mass and crushed granular powder) has been explored in this thesis within the context of the French ...
Pérez Carreras, Adrià (Date of defense: 2018-12-04)
The study of hydro-mechanical (HM) coupled problems in different areas of civil, environmental or petroleum engineering is common in literature, but the effect of a thermal field by means of the heat ...
Sánchez Cordero, Esteban (Date of defense: 2019-05-31)
This research project focuses on the analysis and prediction of flow structures and sediment transport process in open channels by using three-dimensional numerical models. The numerical study was ...
Vasconcellos, Ramon Barboza de (Date of defense: 2021-05-18)
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) ...
