These data were obtained from monotonic one-dimensional swelling tests until full saturation.

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 ]]> Two- and three-dimensional undrained bearing capacity of embedded footings https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15261 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:32:55 AEST ]]> Interpretation of vane shear tests for geotechnical stability calculations https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31144 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:23:30 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 ]]> Further new interpretations of the corrosion of ferrous metals in soils https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35572 Wed 04 Sep 2019 10:57:47 AEST ]]> 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 ]]> Effect of loading eccentricity on the ultimate lateral resistance of tripod piles in clay https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36473 p was examined as an emphasis. Two distinct failure mechanisms were identified associated with small and large eccentricity. This study also discussed the influence of different pile group geometries and soil-pile adhesion strengths on the bearing capacity and developed a set of design charts. Finally, a reduction factor GN, which quantifies the effect of eccentricity, was introduced, and its variations with eccentricity for various pile spacings (s) and soil-pile adhesion factors (α) were additionally presented.]]> Tue 19 May 2020 13:02:13 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 ]]> 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 ]]> The concept of reference curves for constitutive modelling in soil mechanics https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7060 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:37:58 AEDT ]]> Effect of surface heave on response of partially embedded pipelines on clay https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7577 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:37:22 AEDT ]]> 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 ]]> Sydney soil model.
