The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 2.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00034 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.46 SJR: 0.333 SNIP: 0.606 CiteScore™:: 3.1 H-Index: 31

SINOPSIS

We have recently proposed a finite element formulation able to simulate the localization of propagating internal erosion in rigid porous media. In the present paper, such method is extended to deformable porous solids, in order to also model the interaction between backward erosion piping and soil movements. We present the equations governing the exchange and transport of solid and fluid mass in a saturated poro-elastoplastic solid embedding a propagating erosion conduit conveying a multiphase flow. The full set of coupled finite element equations is then obtained from the weak formulations of mechanical equilibrium and fluid mass balance. The performance of the proposed formulation is assessed through an analysis of the soil response to the progressive dewatering of a cofferdam. The hydromechanical coupling and the ability in capturing both the onset and propagation of piping are crucial for an interpretation of the limit states typically observed in these structures.
