This paper presents a variation of Biot's consolidation theory for analysing problems involving unsaturated soils, and implemented using the "nite element method. The numerical method is applied to a few geotechnical problems as examples and the results obtained are compared to some published data.

โฆ Synopsis
A practical problem of pollutant migration has been studied for dierent concentration dierences and mass diusivities using the ยฎnite element method. The results indicate that the pollutant takes years to travel 10 m into the water-saturated soil when the mass diusivity and concentration dierences are less.

We use the ยฎnite element method to solve reactive mass transport problems in ยฏuid-saturated porous media. In particular, we discuss the mathematical expression of the chemical reaction terms involved in the mass transport equations for an isothermal, non-equilibrium chemical reaction. It has turned
A fully coupled numerical model is presented for the water-table uctuation and land deformation in partially saturated soils due to surface loading. This numerical model is developed based on the poroelastic governing equations for groundwater ow in deforming variably saturated porous media and the
Mechanical loading, occurring during normal daily life, causes fluid to be expelled from intervertebral discs. Excessive fluid loss during heavy loading might make the disc more vulnerable to damage. In this study, fluid loss was investigated in vitro through monitoring the loss of MRI signal intens
