Double hardening soil model for soil behavior. Formulation, implementation and application
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-06-20)
Master thesis
Open AccessThe aim of this thesis is the application and validation of a Double Hardening Soil Model(DHSM). In this model, two hardening mechanism are comprised named volumetric hardening from a unified Critical state model for ... -
Energy balance analyses during Standard Penetration Tests in a virtual calibration chamber
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
Article
Open AccessThe Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is the most popular example of dynamic probing, a large category of soil testing techniques. Understanding and interpretation of these tests is hampered by the difficulties of reproducing ... -
Enhanced cone penetration test interpretation with the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM)
(International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), 2019)
Conference report
Open AccessThe paper presents an enhanced interpretation of the cone penetration test based on numerical analysis performed using the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM). This method allows the incorporation of strong non-linearities, ... -

Exploring ice content on partially saturated soils using dielectric permittivity and bulk electrical conductivity measurements
(2016-09)
Article
Open AccessThe present paper explores the use of the measurement of bulk electric conductivity and relative dielectric permittivity during freezing and thawing to estimate the ice content of two different partially saturated soils. ... -
Exploring the mechanical response of low-carbon soil improvement mixtures
(2022-05)
Article
Open AccessAs society moves towards decarbonisation, it is important to assess the hydromechanical behaviour of binders that could offer a low-carbon alternative to Portland cement in ground improvement technologies. This work considers ... -
Image-based measurements of degree of saturation
(E3S Web of Conferences, 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessA method based on SWIR images is proposed for measuring the degree of saturation in soils. This method is especially suitable for use in experiments conducted in the facilities of a common geotechnical laboratory. The ... -

Standard penetration testing in a virtual calibration chamber
(Elsevier, 2019-07)
Article
Open AccessThe virtual calibration chamber technique, based on the discrete element method, is here applied to study the standard penetration test (SPT). A macro-element approach is used to represent a rod driven with an impact like ... -
