Multi-physics Coupling Analysis of Clayey Core Wall of High Earth-Rockfill Dam
XIX, 135 p. 94 illus., 29 illus. in color. online resource.
Nominated by Tsinghua University as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis, this book investigates the mechanical properties of unsaturated compacted clayey soil, the multi-field coupling consolidation theory of unsaturated soil and its application to a 261.5 m high earth-rockfill dam. It proposes a multi-field coupling analysis method of consolidation, and develops an efficient and practical finite element (FE) program for large-scale complex earth-rockfill dams. The book is primarily intended for researchers studying the multi-field coupling analysis of seepage consolidation.
Introduction -- Summary of research progress -- Experimental study on the mechanical properties of core material -- Theoretical study on unsaturated seepage-consolidation -- Numerical method of unsaturated seepage-consolidation theory -- Consolidation analysis of high earth-rockfill dam -- Conclusions and outlook.
