Numerical simulation of a water infiltration test on a proposed backfill material in nuclear waste repositories

A water infiltration test was numerically simulated using the finite element method. The modified Barcelona Basic Model and the double-structure water retention model was used for the numerical analysis. A methodology is presented for parameter identification and calibration purpose. The experimenta...
