Multiphysics Role in Instabilities in Geomaterials: A Review

Book section · January 1, 2021 Multiphysical nature is characterized by complex phenomena involved in instabilities, strain localization and bifurcation in landslides, borehole instability in nuclear waste disposal and drying cracking. This chapter provides an overview of a series of ph ... Full text Cite

Emerging Thermal Issues in Geotechnical Engineering

Book section · January 1, 2019 Application of changes in temperature to soils and rocks may lead to a wide range of flow processes and physical phenomena. This chapter focuses on the fundamental aspects of coupled heat transfer and water flow in saturated and unsaturated soils and rocks ... Full text Cite

Chemo-mechanical Modelling in Bonded Geomaterials from the Micro- to the Macro-scale

Book section · January 1, 2018 Chemo-mechanical effects are known to influence the behavior of bonded geomaterials in a number of applications in civil, environmental and energy engineering. In this work, a two-scale constitutive model is concisely presented, in which macroscopic chemo- ... Full text Cite

Coupled chemical-mechanical processes associated with the injection of CO2 into subsurface

Book section · January 1, 2018 The long-term carbon dioxide storage capacity of reservoirs can be impacted by chemical reactions, mass transport, and mechanical deformation of the reservoir and caprock following the injection of CO2. Mineral mass removal can lead to microcrac ... Full text Cite
