.... This mechanism could be the main origin of damage to embankments. This study develops a new hydro-mechanical (HM) approach based on Darcy's law model and Biot's poroelastic concept to investigate the behaviour of soil with and without geotextile under realistic conditions. The problem's numerical solution...
