Improved analytical solutions for the response of underground excavations in rock masses satisfying the generalized Hoek-Brown failure criterion

Analytical solutions for tunnel design are widely used in practical engineering, as they allow a quick analysis of design issues such as estimation of support requirement. In recent years, several papers analyzing the behavior of rock masses that obey the ...

Constitutive modelling of unsaturated soils with hydro-geomechanical couplings

Mathieu Nuth

Even though the saturation in water of most natural and engineered soils is partial, constitutive models in geotechnical engineering have long made the assumption of complete saturation. The increasing knowledge of the rheological behaviour of unsaturated ...
