  Discussion: The effect of surface roughness and shear rate during fall-cone calibration 

  O'Kelly, Brendan (2021)

  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 ...

  Modeling the compaction characteristics of fine-grained soils blended with tire-derived aggregates 

  O'Kelly, Brendan (2021)

  This study aims at modeling the compaction characteristics of fine-grained soils blended with sand-sized (0.075–4.75 mm) recycled tire-derived aggregates (TDAs). Model development and calibration were performed using a ...

  Reappraisal of the ASTM/AASHTO standard rolling device method for plastic limit determination of fine-grained soils 

  O'Kelly, Brendan C. (2021)

  Given its apparent limitations, various attempts have been made to develop alternative testing approaches to the standardized rolling-thread plastic limit (PLRT) method (for fine-grained soils), targeting higher degrees ...
