Analysis of the extension of the elastic parameters for modelling highly expansive unsaturated soils with the Barcelona basic model
(Hindawi, 2023-07)
Article
Accés obertModelling of engineered barrier systems (EBS) in deep geological disposals of spent nuclear fuel requires sophisticated approaches that include highly nonlinear constitutive models. The Barcelona Basic Model for Expansive ... -
Microstructure and hydro-mechanical behaviour of compacted granular bentonite
(EDP Sciences, 2023)
Article
Accés obertIn recent years, granular bentonite GB has become a reference material since it facilitates the backfilling operation due to high-density compacted granules with extended grain size distribution (maximum sizes around 10 ... -
The importance of the microstructure on hydro-mechanical behaviour of compacted granular bentonite
(2023-12)
Article
Accés obertGranular bentonite (GB) with extended grain size distribution, a candidate material to construct engineered barriers, has low water permeability, high swelling potential and self-sealing capacity and is desirable in ... -
Comparison of geosynthetic reinforced soil wall solutions using analytical design methods and numerical modelling
(2023)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialEuropean design standard (prEN-1997 202x) permits the use of suitably verified numerical models for the design of reinforced soil walls (RSW). The paper first compares three analytical design method outcomes (Coherent ... -
Role of soil biofilms in clogging and fate of pharmaceuticals: a laboratory-scale column experiment
(American Chemical Society, 2023-08)
Article
Accés obertContamination of groundwater with pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) increased over the last decades. Potential pathways of PhACs to groundwater include techniques such as irrigation, managed aquifer recharge, or bank ... -
Assessment of badland susceptibility and its governing factors using a random forest approach: application to the Upper Llobregat River Basin and Catalonia (Spain)
(Elsevier, 2023-11)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialBadlands are considered hotspots of sediment production, contributing to large fractions of the sediment budget of catchments and river basins. The erosion rates of these areas can exceed 100 t ha-1 y-1, leading to significant ... -
Utilization of mine waste heat in phase change rechargeable battery
(2023-10)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialMine geothermal energy has been recognized as “heat hazard”, which is harmful to the health of miners and causes disasters. In order to realize the transformation of mine geothermal energy and waste heat from “hazard/waste” ... -
An assessment tool to improve rural groundwater access: integrating hydrogeological modelling with socio-technical factors
(Elsevier, 2024-02)
Article
Accés obertSustainable exploitation of groundwater resources for drinking water provision in rural communities in sub-Sahara Africa remains elusive due to the limited knowledge of these hydrogeological systems. This is exacerbated ... -
Simplified approach to analyse global stability of reinforced soil walls
(CRC Press, 2023)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertReinforced soil walls (RSW) are a proven alternative to conventional earth retaining structures due to their rapid construction, smaller environmental impact, lower cost, as well as more sustainable social/functional ... -
Short-term thermo-mechanical numerical modelling of reinforced soil walls with polyester strap reinforcements
(CRC Press, 2023)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertPolyester (PET) materials have become more common as reinforcement solution in reinforced soil walls (RSW). It has been shown that strength and stiffness of geosynthetics products, including PET, is load-, time-, and ... -
Influence of temperature on residual strength of clayey soils
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
Article
Accés obertThis 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
Accés obertBackground 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 ...
