THM MODELLING

Our geotechnical team has wide experience in Thermo-Hydro- Mechanical (THM) analyses. This technique is aimed to model soil behaviour under unsaturated conditions and thermal effects and has been used in studies related with nuclear waste disposal (deep geological concept). Nowadays, we are using this technique in

ALBEPAV research project to model the THM behaviour of the pavement.

A part of our technical staff has taken part in numerical modelling of FEBEX (Full-Scale Engineered Barriers Experiment) which took part in Grimsel (Switzerland).
