Abstract
ABSTRACT Although they appear to be less apparent in saturated geomaterials, multiphysics processes and couplings concern saturated and multi-phase porous geomaterials (soils, sandstones, chalk) involved in various aspects of civil and environmental engineering and of energy production. More emphasis has recently been put on couplings with the increased importance of waste disposal (including nuclear waste) and soil pollution problems where heat effects add to the complexity of multi-phase couplings. This paper presents some physical phenomena related to microstructure, multi-phase pore fluids, heat effects and shrinkage and cracking in soils.
