Geotechnics: Welcome to a new open access journal for a growing multidisciplinary community
(2021)
On behalf of the editorial board and MDPI Publishing, may we extend a very warm welcome to this first editorial of Geotechnics—a new and international, open access, scholarly journal aimed at showcasing and nurturing ...
The influence of residual loads on the axial load?displacement response of piles in sand
(Transportation Research Board, Washington, DC, 2015)
This paper investigates the effects of residual loads developed during installation on the axial load–displacement response of displacement piles at two sites. At the first site, open- and closed-ended piles ...
ANN-based bubble tracking algorithm for clay slurries containing large gas bubbles using X-ray CT
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland, 2022)
Gassy clay is a widely-distributed natural composite material consisting of a saturated clay matrix incorporating
large gas bubbles. This study aims to develop a novel method to non-destructively monitor the strain field ...
Theory of liquid and plastic limits for fine soils, methods of determination and outlook
(2024)
Albert Atterberg introduced various consistency limits (state transitions) for fine-grained soil in the 1910s. Of these, the
liquid limit (LL) and plastic limit (PL) are ubiquitous in geotechnical engineering practice, ...
Intermittent swelling and shrinkage of a highly expansive soil treated with polyacrylamide
(2022)
This laboratory study examines the potential use of an anionic polyacrylamide (PAM)-based material as an environmentally sustainable additive for the stabilization of an expansive soil from South Australia. The experimental ...
Sustainable environmental geotechnics practices for a green economy
(2022)
The revitalisation of the global economy after the Covid-19 era presents environmental geotechnics with the opportunity to reinforce the need for a change in paradigm towards a green, circular economy and to promote ...
Geotechnical properties of compacted biosolids for monofill design, As-Samra, Jordan
(2020)
This paper presents the results of a comprehensive geotechnical laboratory testing for the assessment and design of a proposed biosolid monofill facility at the As-Samra Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Jordan. Previous ...
An objective framework for determination of the air-entry value from the soil?water characteristic curve
(2021)
The air-entry value (AEV) suction, marking the transition between saturated and unsaturated soil mechanics, is arguably the most important parameter interpreted from the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC); its accurate ...
