Abstract:The quantitative research on swelling properties of bentonite considering the influence of salt ions under the effect of hydrothermo-mechanical coupling is relatively weak. Based on a calculation model for the swelling characteristics of bentonite from a fractal perspective, this work proposes a novel coupled multifield control equation for unsaturated bentonite considering the influence of salt ions. The numericalization of the coupling control equation was completed by secondary development of a numerical an… Show more
