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 ... -
Comment on “A new approach to stabilization of calcareous dune sand”
(2023)The Discussers read with interest the paper by Ghadr et al. (2022) (the Authors); the research topic being particularly important for various regions of the world regarding the main goals of dust suppression and wind-driven ... -
Field measurements of horizontal stress on an instrumented pile in sand
(ASCE: Reston, VA, USA, 2006) -
An investigation in axial cyclic loading on aged piles in sand
(2021)In recent years, there has been a significant push to develop optimized pile designs in the offshore industry, driven by the growth of offshore wind. One of the largest remaining uncertainties governing axial pile design ... -
An investigation into the use of push-in pile foundations by the offshore wind sector
(2013)This paper presents the results of a field test performed to study the effects of installation method on the load?displacement response of piles used to support the offshore wind turbines. An instrumented open-ended model ... -
Stabilization of sand with colloidal nano-silica hydrosols
(2020)Colloidal nano-silica (NS) hydrosols are electrochemically stabilized, polymerized amorphous silica in low viscosity solutions, and in the form of hydrated gels, silica globules or pellicles.Compared to applications ... -
Yield Behavior of Sand under Generalized Stress Conditions
(2005)The yield behavior of Leighton Buzzard sand was studied for different magnitudes of the three principal stresses and different orientations of the major principal stress using a hollow cylinder apparatus. Stress paths were ...
