Influence of temperature on residual strength of clayey soils
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents the influence of temperature on the residual strength by analyzing shearing tests carried out in a temperature- and velocity-controlled ring shear apparatus. Temperature was applied in steps of cooling ... -
Global, regional, and national burden of diabetes from 1990 to 2021, with projections of prevalence to 2050: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
(2023-06)
Article
Open AccessBackground Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and affects people regardless of country, age group, or sex. Using the most recent evidentiary and analytical framework from the Global ... -
A subloading surface clay and sand model
(2023)
Conference report
Open AccessThe mechanical response of natural soils is characterized by a narrow elastic domain, a smooth transition between elastic to elasto-plastic regime, and hysteretic behaviour during cyclic loading. These realistic features ... -
Modelling a hydration and heating column test on unsaturated bentonite using a double-porosity approach
(EDP Sciences, 2023)
Article
Open AccessA controlled re-saturation of a heated 50 cm long column made of MX-80 bentonite pellets in the CIEMAT laboratory facilities (Madrid, Spain) has been running for 10 years (2011-2021). The experimental data on the saturation ... -
Homogenization of unsaturated bentonite during hydration
(EDP Sciences, 2023)
Article
Open AccessBentonite barriers are a key component in may designs of deep geological repositories for high level nuclear waste. During the hydration stage, the bentonite undergoes non-uniform changes in dry density that may persist ... -
Digital image-based analysis of a small-scale dam failure during wetting
(EDP Sciences, 2023)
Conference report
Open AccessThe use of digital images and the correlation of them in time is commonly used in geotechnical laboratory experiments to measure surface variables in a non-invasive and massive way. Digital image correlation-based methods ... -
Exploring material heterogeneity in gas flow simulation through clay materials: a numerical study
(2023)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents the results of the initial molding of the large-scale gas injection test 1 (Lasgit) conducted at the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory in Sweden. Lasgit is a field test that follows the Swedish KBS-3V disposal ... -
Modelling soil-vegetation-atmosphere in a field experiment
(2023)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this paper, a soil-atmosphere-vegetation interaction, comprised of the state of the atmosphere and its interactions with vegetation in terms of precipitation, wind, temperature, and radiation, is used based on a Finite ... -
Exploring viscous effects on numerical simulations of static liquefaction triggering
(Gecamin, 2022)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyFailures due to static liquefaction have been too frequent in tailings dams. Stress-deformation numerical analyses based on critical state theory are able to reproduce those failures and may be used to gain insight into ... -
A time-to-facture DEM model for simulating creep in rough crushable sand
(2023)
Conference lecture
Open AccessA contact model able to capture creep of crushable sands within a discrete element method (DEM) framework is presented. Time dependency is established through stress-corrosion induced grain fracture. This is grafted onto ... -
Evaluating innovative direct and indirect soil suction and volumetric measurement techniques for the determination of soil water retention curves following drying and wetting paths
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
Article
Open AccessSoil Water Retention Curves (SWRC) are a main characterising component in constitutive models developed for describing unsaturated soils behaviour. Their determination requires establishing a combination of accurate soil ... -
Influence of numerical model mesh properties on predicted in soil temperature, relative humidity and degree of saturation of reinforced soil structures
(2022)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyGeosynthetic materials are routinely used in soil reinforcement and stabilization applications. They have proven to be an important part of the sustainable solution for reinforced soil walls (RSWs). For RSW constructed ...
