Nowadays, thanks to the increase of computers capability to solve huge and complex problems, and also thanks to the endless effort of the geotechnical community to define better and more sophisticated constitutive models, ...
In order to cope with the serious and urgent problem of global warming, it is imperative to reduce the impact of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. One of the alternatives proposed involves the injection of the CO2 in deep ...
Soil reinforced retaining wall structures are materiallymore efficientthan competing construction solutions such as gravity and cantilever walls. Nevertheless, the behaviour and interactions between the com ponent materials ...
Landslides and slope instabilities represent one of the most important problems in geotechnics causing significant damages around the world every year. Understanding the mechanics of the whole process is of particular ...
The general objective of this thesis is the numerical representation of discrete cracks and their propagation using concepts of Configurational Mechanics, in such a way that their trajectory really corresponds to an energy ...
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 transport by a fluid ...
