Journal ArticleDOI
Effective Stress in Unsaturated Soils: A Thermodynamic Approach Based on the Interfacial Energy and Hydromechanical Coupling
TL;DR: In this article, a thermodynamic approach is used to develop a physically-based formula for the effective stress tensor in unsaturated soils, which accounts for the hydro-mechanical coupling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating the effect of different asphaltene structures on surface topography and wettability alteration
J. Sayyad Amin,E. Nikooee,Mohammad Hadi Ghatee,Sh. Ayatollahi,Abdolmohammad Alamdari,Tahereh Sedghamiz +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of asphaltene structure on wettability and topography alteration of a glass surface as a result of rainwater precipitation was investigated using a bi-fractal approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating wettability alteration due to asphaltene precipitation: Imprints in surface multifractal characteristics
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface characteristics of an asphaltene deposited heterogeneous solid surface were investigated using multifractal spectra and its formalism, and it was found that the more oil wet the surface, the wider the spectrum, and the higher the fmax.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stabilization of dispersive soils by means of biological calcite precipitation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the improvements induced in dispersive soils as a result of microbial calcite precipitation and furthermore, the controlling factors are looked into, such as curing time, as well as bacterial cell density, precipitating agent concentration, and temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Swelling and Porosity Change on Capillarity: DEM Coupled with a Pore-Unit Assembly Method
TL;DR: A formula for the Van Genuchten parameter $$\alpha $$α (which is related to the inverse of the entry pressure) as a function of porosity and the amount of absorbed water is developed.
