A fully coupled elastic–plastic hydromechanical model for compacted soils accounting for clay activity
(2012-01-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA constitutive model, accounting for multiphase and multiscale coupling, is proposed for the water retention domain and the stress–strain response of compacted clayey soils. The model is based on a conceptual interpretation ... -
An insight into the water retention properties of compacted clayey soils
(2011-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyExperimental data from different testing methodologies on different compacted clayey soils, with dominant bimodal pore size distribution, are presented and analysed, to provide a comprehensive picture of the evolution of ... -
Modeling the coupled chemo-hydro-mechanical behavior of compacted active clays
(CRC, 2013)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyEngineering clay barriers are one of the main solutions considered for the containment of waste, both within the context of landfills and, in perspective of longer operational times, of nuclear waste disposal. Modeling ... -
Modelling criteria for a microbiologically stabilised compacted soil in the framework of elastoplasticity.
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)
Conference lecture

Modelling the coupled chemo-hydro-mechanical behavior of structured active clays on basis of quantitative microstructural information
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyBecause of their mineralogy, active clays are very sensitive to changes in the type and concentration of species dissolved in the pore water. At a molecular level, this sensitivity can be explained by variations in the ... -
Radial stress paths in triaxial tests on compacted Boom clay: stiffness and anisotropy
(Kasetsart University, 2011)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyExperimental results of triaxial tests performed on unsaturated soil samples of statically compacted Boom clay are presented. Boom clay samples we re subjected to radial stress paths at two different constant water contents: ... -
Some remarks on the hydro-mechanical constitutive modelling of natural and compacted Boom clay.
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyNatural and compacted Boom clay have been extensively studied for their potential use as environmental barriers. In such applications, a series of coupled chemo-thermo-hydro-mechanical processes characterise the response ... -
Undergraduate geotechnical engineering education of the 21st century
(2016-10)
Article
Open AccessForum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal.
