A procedure for the direct determination of Bishop's chi parameter from changes in pore size distribution
(Thomas Telford, 2017-07)
Article
Accés obertMost of the recent works relating to the concept of effective stress in unsaturated soils focus on the proposal by Bishop, and, more particularly, on the search for suitable relationships between Bishop's ¿ parameter and ... -
Experimental behaviour of compacted marls
(2012-08)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialJurassic marls from Abadia, Portugal, were used in the construction of some motorway embankments. Large fragments of this evolving material remained after the construction process, and their degradation was of concern ... -
Hydromechanical behaviour of compacted granular expansive mixtures: experimental and constitutive study
(2011-04-01)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialCompacted granular mixtures of high-density bentonite pellets have been evaluated as an alternative buffer material to fill the empty space around nuclear waste disposal canisters in horizontal drifts. Despite the obvious ... -
Small strain shear moduli of unsaturated natural and compacted loess
(Thomas Telford, 2017-07)
Article
Accés obertSuction and microstructure play critical roles in the mechanical behaviour of loess, yet their effects on small strain (from 0·001 to 1%) shear moduli are not fully understood. In this study, shear moduli of loess with ...
