Abstract:Unsaturated soils with a high degree of saturation (HDS) are commonly encountered in marine and lacustrine sediments. In these soils, the gas phase generally exists in the state of discrete bubbles, which is sensitive to stress and temperature changes and can dramatically change the soil’s engineering properties. This paper explores the thermal-induced behaviour of HDS soils using an efficient extended precise integration method (XPIM). Biot poroelasticity theory, extended to include thermal effects and compre… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
