Large cell triaxial tests of a partially saturated soil with vegetation
(EDP Sciences, 2023)
Article
Open AccessThe use of vegetation roots as a nature-based solution against landslides and erosion requires the definition of sample preparation protocols and adoption of equipment that allows testing representative elementary volumes ... -
Multi-scale effects on the hydraulic behaviour of a root-permeated and compacted soil
(EDP Sciences, 2019)
Conference report
Open AccessWhile roots have been generally proved to be beneficial to soil mechanical behaviour, different and counterposed results have been found when investigating their effects on soil hydraulic response. Roots affect the ... -
Resistenza a trazione di un terreno con vegetazione parzialmente saturo
(Edizioni AGI, 2022)
Conference lecture
Open AccessIl rinforzo delle radici nel terreno è stato valutato in letteratura, a livello di sperimentazione di laboratorio, principalmente tramite percorsi di sollecitazione di compressione per carico o tramite prove di taglio ... -
Tensile strength of a compacted vegetated soil: laboratory results and reinforcement interpretation
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
Article
Open AccessSo far, root reinforcement on soil has been primarily evaluated through direct shear and roots pull-out tests, while the effect of other stress paths and the behaviour at the soil–root¿ interface are still poorly investigated. ... -
Tensile strength of a vegetated and partially saturated soil
(EDP Sciences, 2020-10)
Article
Open AccessVegetated 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 ...
