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 ... -
Creep effects on the thermo-hydro-mechanical responses of Callovo-Oxfordian claystone
(Springer, 2021)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn France, a deep geological disposal for high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and intermediate level long life radioactive waste (IL-LLW) called Cigéo is planned to be constructed in a deep Callovo-Oxfordian claystone (COx) ... -
Geomechanics of shale repositories: mechanical behavior and modeling
(John Wiley & sons, 2020)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis chapter presents an overview of modeling frameworks available within the theory of elastoplasticity and able to capture main features of shale behavior including: yield under compression, failure under deviatoric ... -
Building response to line 9 EPB tunnelling in Barcelona: a case study
(Springer, 2021)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe paper presents the field monitoring data and a three-dimensional finite-element analysis aiming at back-analysing the response of a multi-storey framed building affected by the EPB excavation of a 12 m diameter tunnel ... -
Landslides in reservoirs and dam operation
(CRC Press, 2011)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyRisk of landslide ocurrence in reservoirs is enhanced by the submergence of the slope toe and by rapid drawdown conditions. Instabilities may endanger the dam itself. They may also lead to strong wave motion in the reservoir ... -
Discrete element models of soil-geogrid interaction
(Springer Nature, 2019)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessGeogrids are the geosynthetics of choice for soil reinforcement applications. To evaluate the efficiency of geogrid reinforcement, several methods are used including field tests, laboratory tests and numerical modeling. ... -
Modern submarine landslide complexes: a short review
(2019-11)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policySubmarine landslides have been identified in almost all ocean basins worldwide. The largest submarine landslides occur on very shallow slopes and can be far larger than any terrestrial landslide. Submarine landslides can ... -
Thermo-hydro-mechanical testing of shales
(Wiley, 2019)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe continuous growing interest for shales in numerous energy-related engineering applications brings the need for a comprehensive understanding of their geomechanical behavior and, consequently, for the establishment of ... -
Thermal interaction in shear bands: the Vajont landslide
(CRC Press, 2019)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe localization of strains in landslide shearing surfaces may induce relevant weakening processes due to the thermal pressurization of the pore water filling the pores. The associate reduction in strength can explain the ... -
Excavation-induced instabilities
(CRC Press, 2019)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aim of this chapter is to show the capabilities of MPM to simulate geotechnical problems dealing with soil excavation. The stability of supported vertical excavation in elasto-plastic material is analyzed. Results are ... -
Effects of relative humidity cycling on the tensile strength of a claystone
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2018)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policySelected papers from the Second Pan-American Conference on Unsaturated Soils, held in Dallas, Texas, November 12–15, 2017. Sponsored by the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering and the ... -
Caisson failure induced by wave action
(2015-08-29)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn 2001 a storm induced the failure of four caissons recently built for the construction of a dyke in a new entrance to the Barcelona Harbor. Understanding the failure required the analysis of the construction history and ...
