Boundary Integral Equations in Frequency Domain for the Dynamic Behaviour Analysis of Unsaturated Soils
Résumé
In this paper, the boundary integral equations are presented for the set of fully coupled governing differential equations of hydro-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated porous media subjected to dynamic loadings in frequency domain. These boundary integral equations are derived via the use of weighted residuals method for the first time in a way that permits an easy discretization and implementation in a Boundary Element code. The formulation is accomplished using the solid skeleton displacement, water pressure and gas pressure as independent variables.
