3D deformation and strain fields in drying kaolinite obtained from tracking internal bubbles using X-ray CT and ANN
O'Kelly, Brendan (2024)Drying fine-grained sediments experience shrinkage and desiccation cracking that may dramatically alter their mechanical and hydraulic properties. This study adopts X-ray computed tomography (CT) to monitor the three-dimensional ... -
Accurate determination of moisture content of organic soils using the oven drying method
O'Kelly, Brendan (2004) -
The Anisotropy of Leighton Buzzard Sand Under General Stress Conditions
O'Kelly, Brendan (2003)A hollow cylinder apparatus was used to investigate the inherent anisotropy and membrane penetration of Leighton Buzzard sand test-specimens. The degree of inherent anisotropy was found to be independent of the mean ... -
The anisotropy of Leighton Buzzard sand under general stress conditions
O'Kelly, Brendan (2003) -
ANN-based bubble tracking algorithm for clay slurries containing large gas bubbles using X-ray CT
O'Kelly, Brendan (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 ... -
Applications of biopolymers in dam construction and operation activities
O'Kelly, Brendan (2015)The investigation of innovative and sustainable solutions is a continuing concern within civil engineering activities. The use of environmentally friendly materials in place of traditional chemical substances is a key ... -
Appraisal of novel power-based extrusion methodology for consistency limits determinations of fine-grained soils
O'Kelly, Brendan (Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland, 2022)The consistency limits (liquid limit LL and plastic limit PL) are among the most commonly performed tests in geotechnical engineering practice, being used for classification of fine-grained soils and in deducing other ... -
Assessing the shear strength of municipal sludges and residues for landfill disposal
O'Kelly, Brendan (CISA Publisher: Italy, 2016) -
Assessment of steel-fiber-reinforced segmental lining of Chamshir water conveyance tunnel, Iran: integrating laboratory experiments, field observations, and numerical analysis
O'Kelly, Brendan (2024)The conventional rebar-reinforced concrete (RRC) segmented lining of the Chamshir water conveyance tunnel (CWCT) in Bushehr Province, Iran, has experienced significant damage issues. This paper presents a comprehensive ... -
Atterberg limits and remolded shear strength-water content relationships
O'Kelly, Brendan (2013)The remolded undrained shear strength (Sur) is of importance in many geotechnical applications. This paper uses published regression analyses for strength variation with water content (w) to draw some generalized conclusions ... -
Atterberg limits are not appropriate for peat soils
O'Kelly, Brendan (2015)This paper reports on the challenges associated with the determination of the Atterberg limits for peat, fundamental issues regarding the appropriateness of Atterberg limit concepts applied to peat and peaty soils and ... -
Base resistance of an open-ended pile installed in medium dense sand
O'Kelly, Brendan (2006) -
Biopolymer based soil treatment for geotechnical engineering applications
O'Kelly, Brendan (Springer, Singapore, 2023)Biopolymers (natural polymers) are exuded by micro- and macro-organisms (bacteria, plants, etc.) and have been shown to affect the geotechnical engineering behavior and properties of different soil types for low dosage ... -
Briefing: Atterberg limits and peat
O'Kelly, Brendan (2016) -
Briefing: Specific gravity of solids relationship with ignition loss for peaty soils
O'Kelly, Brendan (2020)Peaty soils have an extremely high water content and a low specific gravity of solids (Gs) compared with most inorganic soils. Accurate knowledge of the Gs value allows void ratio computations for given water contents and ... -
Briefing: Water content determinations of peaty soils using the oven-drying method
O'Kelly, Brendan (2022)In order to prevent possible charring, oxidation and (or) vaporisation of substances other than pore water, many researchers have adopted oven-drying temperature (t) values in the range 60–90°C for water content determinations ... -
