It is demonstrated that these revised relationships can be used to evaluate plausible values of hydraulic conductivity from piezocone sounding records taken at two different clay soil sites in Saga and Yokohama, Japan. The major significance of this work is in extending the range of application of the method first proposed by Elsworth & Lee for sands to almost all soil types. This was possible after appropriate modification of Elsworth and Lee's original method.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:24:44 AEST ]]> Influence of soil microstructure on air permeability in compacted clay https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41671 keff due to the expansion of the clay aggregates with increasing the as-compacted degree of saturation. The increase in the as-compacted degree of saturation in loose samples (dry density ≤1·3 Mg/m3) produces an enhancement in the proportion of macro pores, thus increasing keff, as a consequence of modifications in the pore size distribution. A threshold value has been identified, above which further increase in degree of saturation causes a reduction in the proportion of macro pores, and therefore in keff. A new proposal for estimating the air permeability is proposed in this paper based on the determination of a pore size parameter obtained from MIP data. The proposed approach seems capable of describing the evolution of air permeability for the whole spectrum of compaction states, including specimens subjected to wetting and drying paths.]]> Wed 10 Aug 2022 13:37:24 AEST ]]> Swelling behaviour of compacted Maryland clay under different boundary conditions https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45629 Wed 08 May 2024 11:44:32 AEST ]]> Effects of soil structure on the permeability of saturated Maryland clay https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45625 Wed 02 Nov 2022 14:56:15 AEDT ]]> Effect of loading direction on the ultimate lateral soil pressure of two piles in clay https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16857 Tue 24 Aug 2021 14:38:49 AEST ]]> A microstructural perspective on soil collapse https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38362 Tue 22 Feb 2022 14:09:32 AEDT ]]> Non-axisymmetric response of piles in low-strain integrity testing https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34394 Tue 05 Mar 2019 13:21:57 AEDT ]]> An assessment of statistically based relationships between critical state parameters https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32435 Tue 05 Jun 2018 14:58:56 AEST ]]> Reliability analysis of beams on random elastic foundations https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16729 Thu 29 Aug 2024 11:30:41 AEST ]]> Environmental degradation of claystones https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16730 Thu 29 Aug 2024 11:24:46 AEST ]]> A potential new frost heave mechanism in high-speed railway embankments https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16731 Thu 29 Aug 2024 11:19:37 AEST ]]> Three-dimensional propagation of waves in piles during low-strain integrity tests https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47433 Thu 19 Jan 2023 16:26:34 AEDT ]]> Worst-case spatial correlation length in probabilistic slope stability analysis https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42131 Thu 18 Aug 2022 15:31:25 AEST ]]> Cavity expansion in cohesive-frictional soils with limited dilation https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48416 Thu 16 Mar 2023 14:04:14 AEDT ]]> Physical modelling of lateral sand-pipe interaction https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39477 Thu 09 Jun 2022 10:25:20 AEST ]]> Probabilistic stability analyses of undrained slopes with linearly increasing mean strength https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30504 Thu 03 May 2018 17:01:30 AEST ]]> Two- and three-dimensional bearing capacity of foundations in clay https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1907 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:33:10 AEDT ]]> Consolidation in accreting sediments: Gibson's solution applied to backfilling of mine stopes https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11221 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:11:13 AEDT ]]> A new method for studying the evolution of particle breakage https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24439 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:17:27 AEDT ]]> A general solution for 1D consolidation induced by depth- and time-dependent changes in stress https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24286 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:14:42 AEDT ]]> Comparison of finite-element limit analysis and strength reduction techniques https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23409 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:55 AEDT ]]> Experimental study of ice accumulation in unsaturated clean sand https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45535 Mon 31 Oct 2022 15:13:03 AEDT ]]> Lateral displacement under combined vacuum pressure and embankment loading https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16728 nm) of ground improved by the installation of prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) and subjected to the combined effects of vacuum pressure and embankment loading. The effects on lateral displacement of the magnitudes of embankment loading, as well as the vacuum pressure, the loading rate, and the undrained shear strength and consolidation properties of the soil deposit, have been explicitly included in a newly defined parameter, which is given by the ratio of an index pressure to the representative soil shear strength (RLS). The ratio of δnm to the surface settlement under the embankment centreline, Sf, is also defined as the normalised maximum (net) lateral displacement (NLD). A direct relationship between RLS and NLD has been proposed, with a prescribed range, based on the results of 18 field case histories from 12 different project sites in five countries. It is suggested that the proposed relationship can be used as a preliminary design tool for preloading projects involving combinations of a vacuum pressure and an embankment pressure as well as PVD improvement.]]> Mon 26 Aug 2024 15:27:06 AEST ]]> Site characterisation for the Ballina field testing facility https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30580 Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:30:18 AEST ]]> Canopy effect caused by vapour transfer in covered freezing soils https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26561 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:49:45 AEST ]]> Critical state behaviour of an unsaturated high-plasticity clay https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39050 Mon 02 May 2022 11:01:35 AEST ]]> Exploring one-dimensional compression of compacted clay under constant degree of saturation paths https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24822 Fri 28 Jun 2019 18:04:10 AEST ]]> Geotechnical stability analysis https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16722 Fri 16 Aug 2024 13:36:28 AEST ]]> Effect of soil biology and pore water chemistry on a lakebed sediment https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41717 Fri 12 Aug 2022 09:01:24 AEST ]]>
