3D deformation and strain fields in drying kaolinite obtained from tracking internal bubbles using X-ray CT and ANN
(2024)Drying fine-grained sediments experience shrinkage and desiccation cracking that may dramatically alter their mechanical and hydraulic properties. This study adopts X-ray computed tomography (CT) to monitor the three-dimensional ... -
Applications of biopolymers in dam construction and operation activities
(2015)The investigation of innovative and sustainable solutions is a continuing concern within civil engineering activities. The use of environmentally friendly materials in place of traditional chemical substances is a key ... -
Appraisal of novel power-based extrusion methodology for consistency limits determinations of fine-grained soils
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland, 2022)The consistency limits (liquid limit LL and plastic limit PL) are among the most commonly performed tests in geotechnical engineering practice, being used for classification of fine-grained soils and in deducing other ... -
Assessment of steel-fiber-reinforced segmental lining of Chamshir water conveyance tunnel, Iran: integrating laboratory experiments, field observations, and numerical analysis
(2024)The conventional rebar-reinforced concrete (RRC) segmented lining of the Chamshir water conveyance tunnel (CWCT) in Bushehr Province, Iran, has experienced significant damage issues. This paper presents a comprehensive ... -
Atterberg limits are not appropriate for peat soils
(2015)This paper reports on the challenges associated with the determination of the Atterberg limits for peat, fundamental issues regarding the appropriateness of Atterberg limit concepts applied to peat and peaty soils and ... -
Biopolymer based soil treatment for geotechnical engineering applications
(Springer, Singapore, 2023)Biopolymers (natural polymers) are exuded by micro- and macro-organisms (bacteria, plants, etc.) and have been shown to affect the geotechnical engineering behavior and properties of different soil types for low dosage ... -
Briefing: Atterberg limits and peat
(2016) -
Briefing: Specific gravity of solids relationship with ignition loss for peaty soils
(2020)Peaty soils have an extremely high water content and a low specific gravity of solids (Gs) compared with most inorganic soils. Accurate knowledge of the Gs value allows void ratio computations for given water contents and ... -
Chapter 11: Case studies of vacuum consolidation ground improvement in peat deposits
(Butterworth-Heinemann (Elsevier), 2015) -
A Comparison of Soil Structure Interaction Models for Dynamic Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbines
(2020)This paper compares the dynamic response of an OWT structure where the below ground pile-soil behaviour is modelled using (i) the conventional API ‘p-y’ approach and (ii) the ‘PISA’ approach. A nonlinear aero-elastic code ... -
Converting optimum compaction properties of fine-grained soils between rational energy levels
(2023)This study introduces a practical energy conversion (EC)-type modeling framework capable of converting the optimum compaction properties of fine-grained soils between any two rational compaction energy levels (CELs). Model ... -
Determination of soil permeability coefficient following an updated grading entropy method
(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 ... -
Discussion of ?Physio-chemical properties, consolidation, and stabilization of tropical peat soil using traditional soil additives ? a state of the art literature review? by Afnan Ahmad, Muslich Hartadi Sutanto, Mohammed Ali Mohammed Al-Bared, Indra Sati Hamonangan Harahap, Seyed Vahid Alavi Nezhad Khalil Abad, Mudassir Ali Khan
(2022)This discussion article provides commenting on the sections of the review paper by Ahmad et al. (the authors) concerning consistency limits determinations for peats and peaty soils, drawing on the writer’s experiences ... -
Discussion: A novel formula for the prediction of swelling pressure of compacted expansive soils
(2020)Recently, Elsaidy et al. (2019) have proposed a novel empirical model–that is, equation (6) in the original manuscript–for the prediction of the one-dimensional swelling pressure of compacted expansive soils. A total of ... -
Discussion: Development of a single-point method to determine soil plastic limit using fall¿cone data [Geotech Geol Eng 41:4473-4485, 2023]
(2024)This discussion article presents a critical appraisal of three empirical correlations developed via multiple regression analysis and presented in the Kayabali et al. [Geotech Geol Eng 41:4473–4485, 2023. https://doi.org/ ... -
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 ...
