    • Multi-scale effects on the hydraulic behaviour of a root-permeated and compacted soil 

      Fraccica, Alessandro; Romero Morales, Enrique Edgar; Fourcaud, Thierry (EDP Sciences, 2019)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      While 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 

      Fraccica, Alessandro; Romero Morales, Enrique Edgar; Fourcaud, Thierry (Edizioni AGI, 2022)
      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      Il 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 

      Fraccica, Alessandro; Romero Morales, Enrique Edgar; Fourcaud, Thierry (Elsevier, 2022-06)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      So 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 

      Fraccica, Alessandro; Romero Morales, Enrique Edgar; Fourcaud, Thierry; Sondon Sansó, Mercedes; Gandarillas, Luis (EDP Sciences, 2020-10)
      Article
      Open Access
      Vegetated 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 ...
