    The paper presents experimental and numerical investigations on crack evolution during desiccation, on unsaturated, compacted and reinforced clay using natural Alfa fibres. The effect of fibre content is investigated and ...

  • Ice formation in unsaturated frozen soils 

    Mao, Yanxin; Romero Morales, Enrique Edgar; Gens Solé, Antonio (The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), 2018)
    Text en actes de congrés
    Accés obert
    This paper presents a procedure for determining unfrozen water saturation in a partially saturated frozen soil (clayey silt) using bulk electrical conductivity (EC) measurements. A modification of Archie’s law is proposed ...

  • Hygroscopicity issues in powder and grain technology 

    Torres Serra, Joel; Romero Morales, Enrique Edgar; Rodríguez Ferran, Antonio (The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), 2018)
    Text en actes de congrés
    Accés obert
    The effect of hygroscopicity on flowability of powders and bulk solids with applications in the packaging industry is experimentally and numerically investigated. Firstly, four granular materials are tested at different ...

    Comunicació de congrés
    Accés obert
    Bentonite-rich clays can be used as a buffer / backfill material in deep geological repositories for nuclear waste. The prediction of the long-term performance of a buffer / backfill in such a complex environment, where ...

  • On the choice of stress–strain variables for unsaturated soils and its effect on plastic flow 

    Gallipoli, Domenico; Grassl, P.; Wheeler, Simon; Gens Solé, Antonio (Elsevier, 2018-09)
    Article
    Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
    The net stress plus suction and the average skeleton stress plus modified suction are two alternative sets of energetically consistent stress variables for modelling the hydro-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils. ...

  • Smart helical structures inspired by the pellicle of euglenids 

    Noselli, Giovanni; Arroyo Balaguer, Marino; DeSimone, Antonio (2019-02)
    Article
    Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
    This paper deals with a concept for a reconfigurable structure bio-inspired by the cell wall architecture of euglenids, a family of unicellular protists, and based on the relative sliding of adjacent strips. Uniform sliding ...

    Text en actes de congrés
    Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
    La justícia és un dels pilars de l’estat del benestar i les seves actuacions tenen un gran impacte en termes econòmics. Per tant, és important avaluar les inversions en aquest àmbit per tal de posar en relleu la seva ...

  • The land–sea coastal border: a quantitative definition by considering the wind and wave conditions in a wave-dominated, micro-tidal environment 

    Sánchez-Arcilla Conejo, Agustín; Lin Ye, Jue; García León, Manuel; Gracia Garcia, Vicente; Pallarès López, Elena (2019-01)
    Article
    Accés obert
    A quantitative definition for the land–sea (coastal) transitional area is proposed here for wave-driven areas, based on the variability and isotropy of met-ocean processes. Wind velocity and significant wave height fields ...

  • Mass transfer enhancement and improved nitrification in MABR through specific membrane configuration 

    Castrillo Melguizo, María; Díez Montero, Rubén; Esteban García, Ana Lorena; Tejero Monzón, Iñaki (Elsevier, 2019-04)
