3D deformation and strain fields in drying kaolinite obtained from tracking internal bubbles using X-ray CT and ANN
(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 ... -
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 ... -
Appraisal of novel power-based extrusion methodology for consistency limits determinations of fine-grained soils
(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
(CISA Publisher: Italy, 2016) -
Briefing: Specific gravity of solids relationship with ignition loss for peaty soils
(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
(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 ... -
Comment on “A new approach to stabilization of calcareous dune sand”
(2023)The Discussers read with interest the paper by Ghadr et al. (2022) (the Authors); the research topic being particularly important for various regions of the world regarding the main goals of dust suppression and wind-driven ... -
A comprehensive review of soil remolding toughness determination and its use in the classification of fine-grained soils
(2023)The remolding toughness property of fine-grained soil has not been investigated that much, mainly because it has not lent easily to direct measurement, with soil toughness usually qualitatively described. In practical ... -
Converting optimum compaction properties of fine-grained soils between rational energy levels
(2023)This study introduces a practical energy conversion (EC)-type modeling framework capable of converting the optimum compaction properties of fine-grained soils between any two rational compaction energy levels (CELs). Model ... -
Cyclic swell–shrink behaviour of an expansive soil treated with a sulfonated oil
(2022)The effects of a sulfonated oil (SO) stabiliser on the swell–shrink properties of an expansive soil were investigated through cyclic wetting–drying tests. The cyclic wetting–drying action led to the reconstruction of the ... -
Determination of soil permeability coefficient following an updated grading entropy method
(2020)This paper presents a critical review of the grading entropy approach of permeability-coefficient predictions (k P) for coarse-grained soils. The approach applies the grading entropy theory to particle-size distributions ... -
Discussion of ?Behaviour of a foam mixture as a lightweight construction material? [Int J of Geosynth and Ground Eng (2021) 7(3), 51]
(2022)The Discussers read the Authors’ paper with interest, having recently published findings on the geotechnical behaviour/properties of clayey sand–expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads mixtures [1]. The Authors purport a ‘new’ ... -
Discussion of ?Physio-chemical properties, consolidation, and stabilization of tropical peat soil using traditional soil additives ? a state of the art literature review? by Afnan Ahmad, Muslich Hartadi Sutanto, Mohammed Ali Mohammed Al-Bared, Indra Sati Hamonangan Harahap, Seyed Vahid Alavi Nezhad Khalil Abad, Mudassir Ali Khan
(2022)This discussion article provides commenting on the sections of the review paper by Ahmad et al. (the authors) concerning consistency limits determinations for peats and peaty soils, drawing on the writer’s experiences ... -
Discussion: A fuzzy classification process for swelling soils [Transp. Infrastruct. Geotechnol. 10(3), 474-487]
(2024)This communication article presents a discussion of various fundamental points pertaining to the Toksöz Hozatlıoğlu and Yılmaz (2023) (the Authors) investigation [published in Transp. Infrastruct. Geotechnol. 10(3), 474–487], ... -
Discussion: A novel formula for the prediction of swelling pressure of compacted expansive soils
(2020)Recently, Elsaidy et al. (2019) have proposed a novel empirical model–that is, equation (6) in the original manuscript–for the prediction of the one-dimensional swelling pressure of compacted expansive soils. A total of ... -
Discussion: Development of a single-point method to determine soil plastic limit using fall¿cone data [Geotech Geol Eng 41:4473-4485, 2023]
(2024)This discussion article presents a critical appraisal of three empirical correlations developed via multiple regression analysis and presented in the Kayabali et al. [Geotech Geol Eng 41:4473–4485, 2023. https://doi.org/ ...
