... ABSTRACT: An overview of geoenvironmental engineering for in situ remediation of contaminated land is presented. After a brief introduction, an historical perspective of remediation in the United States and the United Kingdom is presented as background for the remainder of the presentation...

... ABSTRACT: Numerical simulation of the fully coupled fluid-solid interaction in deforming porous media is important in many branches of science and engineering. Recently, the significance of the fluid-solid coupled on the recovery of oil reservoirs is generally recognized. The reservoir...

.... However, this reduction of flow rate becomes marginal, once the confining stress is exceeded above a certain value. INTRODUCTION The experimental investigation of multiphase flow in fractured rock media is important in many branches of science and engineering. These include mining, petroleum engineering...

... ABSTRACT: Ground support comprises a wide field of geotechnical engineering. Therefore some special topics are selected: Reinforcement and dowelling of soil and rock by nails, anchors, piles and jet-grouting. Thus, the ground becomes more or less a compound body which locally can be considered...

... ABSTRACT: A major problem engineers face in the analysis of excavation by the classical methods is the difficulty of predicting displacements around the support structure. To solve this problem, finite element method (FEM) is increasingly employed. However, so many engineers in the field have...
