Discussion: The effect of surface roughness and shear rate during fall-cone calibration
(2022)The fall-cone test is one of the most popular methods used to characterise fine-grained soils. Traditionally, the fall-cone has been used to determine the liquid limit. However, the undrained shear strength of a given soil ... -
Disproportionate Collapse in Building Structures.
(2010)The failure of the Ronan Point apartment tower focused interest in disproportionate collapse, and prompted the ?Fifth Amendment? to the UK Building Regulations which was introduced in 1970. From this point on structures ... -

(2020)The application of drones has recently revolutionised the mapping of wetlands due to their high spatial resolution and the flexibility in capturing images. In this study, the drone imagery was used to map key vegetation ... -
Drying temperature and water content-strength correlations
(2014)For water content determinations on organic soils, several researchers have adopted lower oven-drying temperatures in the range 35?90?C (instead of the standardised range for mineral soils of 100?110?C) in order to prevent ... -
Durability of Alkali-Activated Materials Made with a High-Calcium, Basic Slag
(2021)Alkali activated (AA) materials have been investigated for decades as an alternative to Portland cement (PC) products. Most consist of a silicate waste activated with alkalis, which leads to lower green-house gas emissions ...
