Pérez Carreras, Adrià (Fecha de defensa: 2018-12-04)
The study of hydro-mechanical (HM) coupled problems in different areas of civil, environmental or petroleum engineering is common in literature, but the effect of a thermal field by means of the heat ...
Vasconcellos, Ramon Barboza de (Fecha de defensa: 2021-05-18)
The thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of expansive clays has been extensively studied in the last decades due to the potential use of bentonites as components of engineered barrier systems (EBS) ...

(English) Deep geological disposal of heat-emitting and long-lived radioactive waste is the solution internationally accepted that offers the most viable and safest way to manage this kind of wastes. ...
Villarraga Díaz, Claudia Juliana (Fecha de defensa: 2018-02-28)
The environmental conditions may play a relevant role in the stability of rock slopes. In fact, weathering can contribute to the reduction of strength of the material, while atmospheric actions may ...
Gonzalez‐Blanco, Laura (Fecha de defensa: 2017-05-31)
Deep geological disposal remains the preferred option at present for the management of long-living and heat-emitting radioactive waste, which consists of confining the waste during a very long period ...

The hydro-mechanical behaviour of soils during freezing and thawing is a coupled multi-physics process that has important practical applications. To cite but a few examples, on artificial ground freezing ...
Fraccica, Alessandro (Fecha de defensa: 2019-12-09)
The thesis is aimed at characterising the multi-scale and hydro-mechanical behaviour of lightly compacted silty sand penetrated by a turf-grass (Cynodon Dactilon). The study will allow better assessing ...
García Alcaraz, María del Mar (Fecha de defensa: 2016-03-04)
This thesis promotes an efficient use of shallow geothermal energy by means of an integrated management system to organize its exploitation. Shallow geothermal energy is a renewable resource based on ...
