Determination of macro-scale soil properties from pore scale structures - Model derivation
Determination of macro-scale soil properties from pore scale structures - Model derivation
In this paper we use homogenisation to derive a set of macro-scale poro-elastic equations for soils composed of rigid solid particles, air filled pore-space and aporo-elastic mixed phase. We consider the derivation in the limit of large deformation and show that by solving representative problems on the micro-scale we can parametrise the macro-scale equations. To validate the homogenisation procedure we compare the predictions of the homogenised equations to those of the full equations for a range of different geometriesand material properties. We show that the results differ by . 2% for all cases considered. The success of the homogenisation scheme means that it can be usedto determine the macro-scale poro-elastic properties of soils from the underlying structure. Hence, it will prove a valuable tool in both characterisation andoptimisation.

Abstract
In this paper we use homogenisation to derive a set of macro-scale poro-elastic equations for soils composed of rigid solid particles, air filled pore-space and aporo-elastic mixed phase. We consider the derivation in the limit of large deformation and show that by solving representative problems on the micro-scale we can parametrise the macro-scale equations. To validate the homogenisation procedure we compare the predictions of the homogenised equations to those of the full equations for a range of different geometriesand material properties. We show that the results differ by . 2% for all cases considered. The success of the homogenisation scheme means that it can be usedto determine the macro-scale poro-elastic properties of soils from the underlying structure. Hence, it will prove a valuable tool in both characterisation andoptimisation.
