Insight into decision support systems for sustainable geotechnical engineering
(EWG-DSS — EURO Working Group on Decision Support Systems, 2019)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertGeotechnical engineering has a significant role in sustainability, due to its early place in the construction process and thus with a higher possibility to limit the impact of the project. Nevertheless, there is a lack of ... -
Investigation of crack desiccation in soil from a flood protection embankment
(CRC Press, 2009)
Capítol de llibre
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialDrying causes shrinkage in soils and may yield the formation of crack. This paper reports on various experimental observations on desiccation tests performed in the laboratory under controlled conditions over samples of ... -
Laboratory experiments on swelling due to crystal growth in sulphate argillaceous rocks
(CRC Press, 2013)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialCrystal growth is a frequent cause of expansive deformations in natural soils, compacted soils, rocks and concrete. The sulphate crystallization in discontinuities and cracks due to evaporation of highly mineralized solutions ... -
Laboratory tests on swelling due to crystal growth in sulphate bearing rocks
(CRC Press, 2014)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialPrecipitation of sulphate crystals in discontinuities due to evaporation of sulphate solutions is an important contribution to the degradation and swelling behavior of sulphate bearing argillaceous rocks. Although the ... -
