Flux boundary conditions for geotechnical problems

The effect of typical flux boundary conditions, such as infiltration and evaporation, on pore-water pressures in a slope was investigated through the use of field instrumentation. The effects of infiltration on shear strength, slope stability and soil deformation were studied through the use of lab...

Description
Summary:The effect of typical flux boundary conditions, such as infiltration and evaporation, on pore-water pressures in a slope was investigated through the use of field instrumentation. The effects of infiltration on shear strength, slope stability and soil deformation were studied through the use of laboratory tests, field instrumentation and numerical analyses.
