    • Discrepancy in the Critical State Void Ratio of Poorly Graded Sand due to Shear Strain Localization 

      Imseeh Wadi H.; Alshibli Khalid A.; Al-Raoush Riyadh I. ( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2020 , Article)
      The critical state (CS) concept is a theoretical framework that models the constitutive behavior of soils, including sand and other granular materials. It supports the notion of a unique postfailure state, where the soil ...

    • Grouping minimum REV of porosity and tortuosity based on descriptors of sand grains 

      Al-Raoush, R.; Hannun, J.; Jarrar, Z.; Alshibli, K.; Jung, J. ( European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, EAGE , 2019 , Conference Paper)
      In sandy reservoirs, selecting a representative elementary volume (REV) for the pore scale, is essential for predictive upscaling toward the reservoir scale. The porosity and tortuosity of a sand media are used for REV ...

    • Pore networks to characterize formation damage due to fines at varied confinement and sand shape 

      Hannun, J.; Al-Raoush, R.; Jarrar, Z.; Alshibli K.; Jung, J. ( European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, EAGE , 2019 , Conference Paper)
      Carbon sequestration in geological formations is in demand for many applications, especially energy production from hydrates. During gas production in a sandy hydrate reservoir, two phase flow and changes in confinement ...

    • Quantifying morphology of sands using 3D imaging 

      Alshibli Khalid A.; Druckrey Andrew M.; Al-Raoush Riyadh I.; Weiskittel Taylor; Lavrik Nickolay V. ( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2015 , Article)
      Particle morphology plays a significant role in influencing engineering behavior of granular materials. Surface texture, roundness, and sphericity represent distinct multiscale measures needed to fully describe particle ...
