Topic 2: Uncertainty Quantification & Propagation in Geomaterials
Challenge
Geomaterials exhibit multiscale characteristics, but the propagation of uncertainties across different scales is still unclear.
A comprehensive understanding of multiscale behaviors is critical for producing accurate and reliable geotechnical predictions.
Contribution
Investigated how microstructural heterogeneity impacts macroscopic anisotropy and developed theoretical models to quantify effective transport properties of geomaterials at multiscale.
Introduced a practical upscaling method to accurately assess anisotropy in thermal and hydraulic properties.
