Tensile strength of a vegetated and partially saturated soil
(EDP Sciences, 2020-10)
Article
Accés obertVegetated soil’s shear strength has been usually assessed through direct shear tests and under triaxial compression stress paths while less is known about its behaviour under tensile stress. Tensile strength and shrinkage-induced ... -

Accés obertThe geotechnical construction industry is a major component of the overall construction sector and is strategically important in infrastructure development (transportation, flood and landslide protection, building foundations, ... -
The effect of curing conditions on the hydromechanical properties of a metakaolin-based soilcrete
(Thomas Telford, 2022-05)
Article
Accés obertAn attractive approach to reduce the carbon dioxide footprint of deep soil mixing (DSM) is to replace Portland cement-based binders by geopolymers based on metakaolin. Safe design requires a good understanding of the ... -
The effect of drying-wetting cycles on the seismic properties of an anisotropic claystone
(2009)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertThe evolution of bar and shear wave velocities during a drying wetting cycle on a claystone is presented. There is a clear relationship with total suction, established by means of the material water retention curve. The ... -
The impact of soil-vegetation-atmosphere interaction on a landslide initiation under torrential storms: a case study
(EDP Sciences, 2023)
Article
Accés obertVegetation has long been used in geotechnical engineering to protect slopes from surface instability phenomena. However, its effects remain difficult to quantify, given the diversity of plants in situ, the variability of ... -
The importance of the microstructure on hydro-mechanical behaviour of compacted granular bentonite
(2023-12)
Article
Accés obertGranular bentonite (GB) with extended grain size distribution, a candidate material to construct engineered barriers, has low water permeability, high swelling potential and self-sealing capacity and is desirable in ... -
The influence of drying on the small strain shear modulus for static compacted Boom clay
(CRC Press, 2009)
Capítol de llibre
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThis paper presents experimental results concerning the influence of drying and compaction on the small strain shear modulus (G0) of samples of a Boom clay reconstituted in the laboratory. For that purpose, samples of Boom ... -

Thermal conductivity of compacted Opalinus Clay at different degrees of saturation
(EDP Sciences, 2023)
Article
Accés obertTunnelling in bedded shale rocks induces damage around the excavation. Consequently, the rock mass in the excavation damaged zone (EDZ) shows different thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) properties from the intact rock. In turn, ... -
Thermal pulse effects on the stiffness degradation of unsaturated clayey materials
