The paper presents a benchmarking study carried out within the ‘Mechanics of Unsaturated Soils for Engineering’ (MUSE) network aimed at comparing different techniques for measurement and control of suction. Techniques ...

Se presentan resultados de un estudio experimental del acoplamiento hidromecánico de un limo arcilloso de baja plasticidad ligeramente compactado, sometido a compresión isótropa bajo succión controlada. Los ensayos se han ...

This study investigates an unsaturated silt sampled from an embankment along the Bengawan Solo River in East Java, Indonesia. Load and soak oedometer tests were carried out on laboratory compacted samples and on undisturbed ...

For the characterization of gas migration through a low-permeability clay host rock for deep underground repositories, a comprehensive understanding of the relevant phenomena of gas and fluid flow through low-permeability ...

Flowability of powders and bulk solids is critical for the packaging industry in the selection and design of bulk material handling equipment. Nowadays, a variety of feeder systems are used for dosing operations in bagging ...

Phyllite clays are applied as a layer on a surface to be waterproofed and subsequently compacted. For this purpose, phyllite clays deposits can be grouped by their chemical and mineralogical characteristics, and these ...

Boom and Ypresian clays are being studied in Belgium in connection with the design of a repository for radioactive waste. Within this context, thermal impact may play an important role on the behaviour of these low-permeability ...

A systematic experimental programme was performed on a slightly weathered siltstone of Weald facies (Cretaceous period) to study the degradability of the material due to hydraulic and mechanical processes. The paper ...
