Modelling the effect of in-soil temperature and relative humidity on performance of PET strap soil reinforcement products
(Australian Geomechanics Society, 2022)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyPolyester (PET) strap reinforcement materials are now used routinely as soil reinforcement for mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls. The important role of temperature and relative humidity on the chemical degradation ... -
Enhanced NAPL removal and mixing with engineered injection and extraction
(2022-04)
Article
Open AccessAquifer remediation with in-situ soil washing techniques and enhanced oil removal typically involves the injection of liquid solutions into the geological formation to displace and mobilize non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs). ... -
Effect of thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling on the evolution of stress in the concrete liner of an underground drift in the Cigéo project
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2021-09)
Article
Open AccessThe French National Radioactive Waste Management Agency (Andra) is in charge of studying the disposal of high-level and intermediate-level long-lived waste (HLW and ILW-LL) in a deep geological repository (Cigéo project) ... -
Performance of large diameter storage and sealing structures in a deep exothermic waste repository
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe paper presents the work carried out to assess and simulate numerically the phenomenology behind the response of large diameter intermediate-level long-lived nuclear waste (ILW-LL) storage galleries and the corresponding ... -
PFEM analysis of installation effects on axial performance of jacked piles in chalk
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessChalk is present in a large area of the East and South coast of the UK where renewables are now being installed. In most cases they are founded on displacement piles, whose design uses empirical methods or partial ... -
Grain roughness effect on the critical state line of crushable sands
(University of Dundee, 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessA recently proposed DEM model for materials with rough crushable grains (Zhang et al. 2021; Ciantia et al. 2015; Otsubo et al. 2017) is here employed to examine the effect of contact roughness on the critical state line, ... -
FSLAM: A QGIS plugin for fast regional susceptibility assessment of rainfall-induced landslides
(Elsevier, 2022-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyShallow slope failures triggered by rainfall commonly pose considerable risks in mountainous areas. In order to delineate areas where landslides are more prone to occur within a region, we have designed and developed a ... -
Rockfalls: analysis of the block fragmentation through field experiments
(2022-05)
Article
Open AccessFragmentation is a common feature of rockfall that exerts a strong control on the trajectories of the generated blocks, the impact energies, and the runout. In this paper, we present a set of four real-scale rockfall tests ... -
Capturing rockfall kinematic and fragmentation parameters using high-speed camera system
(2022-06-05)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents a procedure for tracking rockfall trajectories and extracting kinematic parameters from both the impacts and the resultant fragments. A set of full scale rockfall experiments was performed in a quarry ... -
Interferometric SAR deformation timeseries: a quality index
(International Society for Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessEstimating unknown absolute phase from a wrapped observation is a challenging and ill-posed problem that possibly leads to misinterpretation of interferometric SAR (InSAR) deformation results. In this study, we introduce ... -
Unconfined compressive strength of sand-fines mixtures treated with chemical grouts
(CRC Press, 2021)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyGround improvement by grouting is one of the methods applicable to solve problems connected to foundations, open cut excavations and tunnelling. The improvement of soils is in terms of reduced permeability and increased ... -
Numerical modelling of two-phase flow in fractured rock masses using zero-thickness interface elements
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessIn recent years, the authors and co-workers have developed a 3D finite element model for coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) problems in fractured rock masses. Zero-thickness interface elements are used for taking into ...
