Groundwater flow and Coupled analysis

Abstract
sparkles

AI

The research focuses on enhancing the PLAXIS software for effective simulation of groundwater flow and coupled flow-deformation analysis in both saturated and partially saturated soils. It presents a comprehensive approach by modifying the existing undrained analysis and incorporates the Barcelona Basic Model to address the mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils. The study includes detailed formulations of governing equations, verification of numerical methods, and emphasizes the need for a simultaneous solution of displacement and pore pressure in practical applications.
