    • Physical and numerical modelling of the thermally induced wedging mechanism 
      Pasten, C.; García, M.; Cortés, D. D. (ICE Publishing, 2015)
      Field observations and laboratory experiments show that temperature cycles can lead to wedging and accumulation of permanent displacements in several geosystems. The magnitude of these displacements depends on the geometric ...
    • Thermo-mechanical ratcheting in jointed rock masses 
      Pastén Puchi, César; García, M.; Santamarina, J. Carlos (ICE Pub., 2015)
      Thermo-mechanical coupling takes place in jointed rock masses subjected to large thermal oscillations. Examples range from exposed surfaces under daily and seasonal thermal fluctuations to subsurface rock masses affected ...
