A new shoreline instability triggered by high-angle waves and leading to sand wave formation is investigated. In contrast with the well-known high angle wave instability, which involves both the surf and shoaling zones and ...

This paper presents results of an experimental study on the effect of suction on the shear behaviour of sand/silt mixtures as determined with direct shear tests performed under suction control. The device used to perform ...

Castellà: El estudio de la producción de arena (rock sanding) en pozos petrolíferos ha sido objeto importante de investigación durante los últimos años debido al auge de las nuevas técnicas de producción: perforación con ...

Sand/bentonite mixtures are considered as buffer material in low and medium radioactive waste disposal schemes. While the bentonite provides low permeability and swelling capacity, the sand is intended to improve mechanical ...

As a result of the large quantities of glass residues being generated, research is currently underway for efficient, economic and eco-friendly alternatives, among them the incorporation of recycled glass in mortar as a ...

In the casting industries, sand is typically reused through the production cycles. Since sand for itself do not have the necessary properties to this process, it’s necessary to introduce binders to force the sand grains ...

The paper describes the behaviour of the perimeter wall of a very large excavation in saturated sands. The excavation was extended to a depth of 20m (17m below the water table) and the walls reached an impervious silty ...
