Trees growing close to buildings in urban landscapes may change the soil moisture around foundations, producing shrinkage and swelling. This paper presents a numerical solver to estimate the movements resulting from these volumetric strains. This tool will be of assistance in both designing the footings of new buildings and in the analysis of damage associated with buildings that have already been...
Due to the use of new technologies and innovative materials in civil engineering (reinforcement, recycled or natural materials), the design of geotechnical earth structures has become more complex, involving improvements to existing numerical models in order to consider the specific mechanical behaviours of each component in the structure. In this article, we focus on a new numerical model dedicated...
