Reducing the erodibility of sandy soils engineered by cyanobacteria inoculation: a laboratory investigation
(2023)
Windblown and water-induced erosion cause substantial soil losses worldwide, especially for drylands. Any sustainable management program that increases soil organic matter and improves the stability of the crustal layer ...
Geomechanical behaviour of uncemented expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads?clayey soil mixtures as lightweight fill
(2021)
Lightweight fill can be advantageous in embankment construction for the purposes ofreducing the (i) bearing pressures on the underlying soil foundation, (ii) destabilizing moments forconstructed earthen slopes, and (iii) ...
Environmental geotechnics: challenges and opportunities in the post-COVID-19 world
(2021)
The outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic not only has created a health crisis across the world but is also expected to impact negatively the global economy and societies at a scale that is maybe ...
Discussion: Effects of plastic waste materials on geotechnical properties of clayey soil [DOI: 10.1007/s40515‑020‑00145‑4]
(2023)
The paper under discussion (by Hassan et al. (2021)) presents a comprehensive set of experimental results from standard geotechnical laboratory tests performed on a low-plasticity clay soil (CL) amended with between 1% and ...
A finite-strain hyperviscoplastic model and undrained triaxial tests of peat
(2017)
This paper presents a finite-strain hyperviscoplastic constitutive model within a thermodynamically consistent framework for peat which was categorised as a material with both rate-dependent and thermodynamic equilibrium ...
Tensile and compressive contributions of fibres in peat
(ASCE: Reston, VA, USA, 2017)
Post Covid-19 water and waste water management to protect public health and geoenvironment
(2021)
The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has posed severe threats to humans and the geoenvironment. The findings of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (Sars-CoV-2) traces in waste water and the practice of ...
Ultralightweight foundation system for peaty ground
(2022)
Construction on peat deposits represents a major challenge for the geotechnical community. Waterlogged peat
deposits have great potential for buoyancy generation. The premise of the present investigation is that this can ...
