Fracture of bio-cemented sands
C. Konstantinou, E. Martínez-Pañeda, G. Biscontin +1
Bio-chemical reactions enable the production of biomimetic materials such as sandstones. In the present study, microbiologically-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is u…
Development of a fracture capture simulator to quantify the instability evolution in porous medium
Ramesh Kannan Kandasami, Charalampos Konstantinou, Giovanna Biscontin
Understanding and controlling fracture propagation is one of the most challenging engineering problems, especially in the oil and gas sector, groundwater hydrology and geothermal e…
A numerical characterisation of unconfined strength of weakly consolidated granular packs and its effect on fluid-driven fracture behaviour
Paula A. Gago, Charalampos Konstantinou, Giovanna Biscontin +1
Soft or weakly-consolidated sand refers to porous materials composed of particles (or grains) weakly held together to form a solid but that can be easily broken when subjected to s…
