Closure to Discussion by K. Prakash and A. Sridharan of Atterberg limits and remolded shear strength water content relationships [Geotechnical Testing Journal, Vol. 36, No. 6, pp. 939 947]
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (2014)This article presents the closure to the discussion on the Geotechnical Testing Journal, GTJ20130012 , Vol. 36, No. 6, which had three stated objectives : (i) a critical assessment of empirical methods for ... -
Compression and consolidation anisotropy of some soft soils
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (2006) -
Consolidation properties of a dewatered municipal sewage sludge
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (2005) -
Determination of soil permeability coefficient following an updated grading entropy method
O'Kelly, Brendan C.; Nogal, Maria (2020)This paper presents a critical review of the grading entropy approach of permeability-coefficient predictions (k P) for coarse-grained soils. The approach applies the grading entropy theory to particle-size distributions ... -
Development of a large consolidometer apparatus for testing peat and other highly organic soils
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (Finnish Peatland Society, 2009) -
Development of a New Apparatus for Hollow Cylinder Testing
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (PhD thesis, University College Dublin (Supervisor Dr. T.F. Widdis; Extern Prof. David Muir Wood)University College Dublin, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, 2001)The Hollow Cylinder Apparatus (HCA) is the only soil test device that can facilitate independent control of both the magnitudes and directions of the principal stresses. The stress history and loading conditions at a point ... -
Development of a new hollow cylinder apparatus for generalised stress path testing
O'Kelly, Brendan C.; Naughton, P.J. (2003-07) -
Development of a new hollow cylinder apparatus for stress path measurements over a wide strain range
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (2005) -
Development of a rig to study model pile behaviour under repeating lateral loads
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (2014) -
Discussion: Soil?monopile interactions for offshore wind turbines
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (2017) -
Drying temperature and water content-strength correlations
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (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 ... -
Effect of biodegradation on the consolidation properties of a dewatered municipal sewage sludge
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (2008) -
Effect of decomposition on physical properties of fibrous peat
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (2014)Organic matter in peat deposits undergoes slow microbial decomposition, which causes permanent material change, including reduction in volume of solids, and is a significant factor in the development of creep settlements ... -
Effect of friction fatigue on pile capacity in dense sand
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (2007)The paper presents the results of a series of field tests performed to study the causes of friction fatigue experienced by displacement piles. Four instrumented model piles were installed at a dense sand test-bed site. The ... -
Effects of aluminum sulfate and polyelectrolyte solutions on the geotechnical properties of organic clay
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (2011) -
Engineering properties of wet-pluviated hollow cylindrical specimens
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (2005) -
Fallacy of wide undrained strength range at the Casagrande liquid limit
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (2019)The liquid limit (LL), as originally proposed by Atterberg, is notionally the water content below which fine-grained soil ceases to flow as a liquid. In many countries, the Casagrande-cup approach is the standard procedure ... -
A finite-strain hyperviscoplastic model and undrained triaxial tests of peat
O'Kelly, Brendan C.; Nagel, T.; Zhang, Lin (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 ... -
Geotechnical properties of a municipal water treatment sludge incorporating a coagulant
O'Kelly, Brendan C. (2008)
