      The paper presents a benchmarking study carried out within the ‘Mechanics of Unsaturated Soils for Engineering’ (MUSE) network aimed at comparing different techniques for measurement and control of suction. Techniques ...

    • Benchmarking selection of parameter values for the Barcelona basic model 

      D'Onza, Francesca; Wheeler, S. J.; Gallipoli, Domenico; Hofmann, M.; Lloret Cabot, Marti; Lloret Morancho, Antonio; Mancuso, C.; Pereira, J.M.; Romero Morales, Enrique Edgar; Toll, D. G.; Vassallo, R. (2015-09)
      Article
      Open Access
      Seven teams took part in a benchmarldng exercise on selection of parameter values for the Barcelona Basic Model (BBM) from experimental data on an unsaturated soil. All teams were provided with experimental results from 9 ...

    • High Capacity Tensiometers: performance and behaviours 

      Mendes, Joao; Jamali, Armin; Najdi, Abdallah; Encalada López, David Alejandro; Bruno, Agostino; Prat Catalán, Pere; Buzzi, Olivier; Gallipoli, Domenico; Ledesma Villalba, Alberto; Toll, David (EDP Sciences, 2023-04)
      Article
      Open Access
      High capacity tensiometers (HCT) allow the direct measurement of soil matric suction, and their major limitation is the occurrence of cavitation. In this paper HCT designs using different ceramic filters with varied air ...

    • On the choice of stress–strain variables for unsaturated soils and its effect on plastic flow 

      Gallipoli, Domenico; Grassl, P.; Wheeler, Simon; Gens Solé, Antonio (Elsevier, 2018-09)
      Article
      Open Access
      The net stress plus suction and the average skeleton stress plus modified suction are two alternative sets of energetically consistent stress variables for modelling the hydro-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils. ...

    • TERRE project: interplay between unsaturated soil mechanics and low-carbon geotechnical engineering 

      Tarantino, A; El Mountassir, G.; Wheeler, Simon; Gallipoli, Domenico; Augarde, Charles; Urciuoli, Gianfranco; Romero Morales, Enrique Edgar; Priegue Mayán, Ángel Diego; Fraccica, Alessandro; Karagianni, Pavlina (EDP Sciences, 2020-10)
      Article
