Application of State Equation Method for Coupled Hydro-Mechanical Analysis in Dual-Porosity Media

Abstract:

Seepage is one of the major influence factors for engineering stability. In this study, the equations of hydro-mechanical coupling in dual-porosity media including the governing equations of deformation and seepage are employed. The fluid gravity in whole system is considered in the seepage governing equation. The solid displacement, pore fluid pressure and fissure fluid pressure are the unknown qualities. The finite element formulation of the governing equations are acquired after using the Galerkin discretization technique. The physical parameters are discussed here. Finally, the state equation method is applied to solve the finite element equations.
