Simulating behaviour of reactive soils and slab foundations using hydro-mechanical finite element modelling incorporating soil suction and moisture changes

The main objective of this paper is to enhance the current design practice of stiffened slab foundations on reactive soils through an advanced numerical modelling study. The paper presents sophisticated three-dimensional (3D) hydro-mechanical finite element (FE) numerical models using coupled flow-d...
