Hydraulic Properties of Unsaturated Soils: A Novel Procedure

R. Galaviz Gonzalez, J. M. Horta Rangel, E. Rojas González, L. Pérez Rea, T. López Lara & J. B. Hernandez Zaragoza · Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology · 2017

Buildings built on shrink-swelling soils may experience serious damage due to volumetric strains. These strains are produced by drying-wetting cycles generated when water content fluctuates in the mass of soil. In order to study this behavior, theoretical models taking into accou...

A Numerical Procedure for Coupled Consolidation in Saturated Soils

J. M. Horta Rangel, R. Galaviz Gonzalez, E. Rojas González, L. Pérez Rea, T. López Lara & J. B. Hernandez Zaragoza · Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology · 2016

Consolidation is the reduction of soil volume with time. This phenomenon generates a stresses transfer process beginning with the application of load and subsequent increase in pore water pressure. This increase in pore water pressure generates a flow of water that reduces the vo...
