Modelling with Transparent Soils Visualizing Soil Structure Interaction and Multi Phase Flow, Non-Intrusively

The fundamental premise of this monograph is that transparent synthetic materials with geotechnical properties similar to those of natural soils can be used to study 3D deformation and flow problems in natural soils. Transparent soils can be made by matching the refractive index of synthetic soil ma...
