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 ...
Stabilization of a highly expansive soil using waste-tire-derived aggregates and lime treatment
(2022)
This study investigates the combined efficacy of waste-tire-derived aggregate (TDA) materials and hydrated lime on the compactability, compressive strength and swelling potential of a highly expansive soil from South ...
Improving internal erosion resistance of silty sand using additives
(2020)
Seepage-induced erosion, leading to piping, is one of the most common causes of failure for earth dykes, levees and dams. Various soil improvement (mixing) technologies can be employed to improve the internal erosion ...
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 ...
Fallacy of wide undrained strength range at the Casagrande liquid limit
(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 ...
