A review of soil pore models
نویسنده
چکیده
Phenomena occurring in soil pores can best be studied if the geometry of the pore space is understood. A number of models for the pore space have been proposed. These have included a Boolean grain process, fractals, packed sphere and other grain models, bubble processes, cracking processes and a range of models based on simple geometrical objects. This paper considers the issues raised by these models and their advantages and disadvantages.

Scaling and Fractal Concepts in Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity: Comparison of Some Models
Measurement of soil saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks, is normally affected by flow patterns such as macro pore; however, most current techniques do not differentiate flow types, causing major problems in describing water and chemical flows within the soil matrix. This study compares eight models for scaling Ks and predicted matrix and macro pore Ks, using a database composed of 50 datasets...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of liquefaction susceptibility of soil interacting by single pile
Previous case histories have shown that soil liquefaction severely damaged many structures supported on pile foundations during earthquakes. As a result, evaluating the potential for instability is an important consideration for the safe and resistant design of deep foundation against earthquakes. In this study, the liquefaction susceptibility of saturated sand interacting by single concrete pi...
متن کاملEvaluation of pore water pressure foundation and core of Sivand dam after the first dewatering period in comparison with the actual instrument results
Increasing the pore water pressure in the body of dams will reduce the effective stress and thus reduce the shear strength of the body materials of the dam, which can lead to dangerous results and cause instability of earth dams. According to nonlinear behavior of earth dam, behavioral models of Mohr–Coulomb and hardening soil model are used to model the dam and body materials. In this study, u...
متن کاملA critical review on structure-soil-structure interaction
The purpose of this paper is to review computational methods in structure-soil-structure interaction. As a result of globalization, buildings are located close to each other. This issue happens especially in big cities, making the study of structure-soil-structure interaction as an essential part of structural design process. The effect of soil medium, on which the building structure stands, es...
متن کاملReview and Classification of Modeling Approaches of Soil Hydrology Processes
To use soil hydrology processe (SHP) models, which have increasingly extended during the last years, comprehensive knowledge about these models and their modeling approaches seems to be necessary. The modeling approaches can be categorized as either classical or non-classical. Classical approaches mainly model the SHP through solving the general unsaturated flow (Richards) equation, numerically...
