Importance of unsaturated flow in predicting the deformations around tunnels in swelling rock

Importance of unsaturated flow in predicting the deformations around tunnels in swelling rock

This paper by Georgios Anagnostou, hosted by the Institute for Geotechnical Engineering, focuses of swelling phenomenon in tunneling and how it is numerically modeled with a coupled hydraulic-mechanical process. The page addresses heavily how seepage equations influence this phenomenon.
