Introduction There are many problems in geotechnical engineering that involve a coupling between climatic conditions and the thermal response within the ground. These types of

Introduction Caesium-137 is an anthropogenic radioactive isotope formed as a product of nuclear fission. Historically, Cs-137 was released into the environment by nuclear weapons testing

Introduction The construction of roadway and railway embankments in cold regions can influence the overall thermal response of underlying permafrost. This change in the thermal

Introduction This is the final example demonstrating the basics of setting up three-dimensional geometries in BUILD3D. In this example, we will import a STEP file

Introduction This example replicates the “Rapid drawdown” examples illustrated in SEEP/W and SIGMA/W. The purpose of this example is to demonstrate the steps required to

Introduction Thermosyphons are used to harness cold weather to maintain frozen conditions in the soil. A thermosyphon essentially comprises two parts: an evaporator installed below

Introduction There are three basic boundary conditions for contaminant transport: 1) specified concentration (Dirichlet); 2) specified dispersive flux (Neumann); and, 3) specified dispersive and advective

Introduction The objective of this example is to verify the simulated change in pressure of a constant volume of dry air subject to an increase
