Analytical solution for describing the thermo-mechanical behavior of plane energy geostructures [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2020
Over the past twenty years, a substantial amount of research has been performed to expand the modeling capabilities of energy geostructures: innovative earth-contact structures that provide combined structural support and renewable energy supply. Several

The plastic limit of clays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The plastic limit of soils was first described by Atterberg in 1911. The thread-rolling test was standardised at the US Public Roads Bureau in the 1920s and 1930s, and has subsequently become one of the standard tests of soil mechanics.

Modelling of expansive clay interaction with skeleton structures considering the effect of replacement permeability

open access: yesAin Shams Engineering Journal, 2021
The present work investigates the interplay between building stiffness and replacement soil thickness and permeability, when an underlying swelling clay layer is subjected to continuous moisture using 3D numerical analysis. Simulations are done using the

Bridge distress caused by approach embankment settlement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Surtees Bridge, which carries the A66(T) over the River Tees near Thornaby-on-Tees in the UK, has been showing signs of distress that predate its opening in 1981.

Developing a high capacity axis translation apparatus for gas shale testing [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2020
Gas shales are usually partially saturated due to hydrocarbon generation and often have a low in-situ degree of saturation less than 40 %. During stimulation, substantial fluid imbibition into the formation occurs due to high suction.

Comparison between uniaxial and pull-out tests setup for polyester and HDPE geogrids [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
Uniaxial tensile and/or pull-out tests are performed to obtain the stress-strain curve of geogrids. The clamp lining in contact with a specimen in the uniaxial tensile test or the grit of a sandpaper clamp liner in a pull-out test affects the results. In
