Compressibility and Seepage Properties of Peats
(2005)The compressibility of some fine and coarse fibrous peats was studied in the laboratory using the oedometer apparatus. Load tests were also conducted on pairs of identical test specimens prepared such that the axis of one ... -
Use of the Cone Penetration Test to Derive Parameters for Shallow Foundation Design
(2005)Given the problems associated with sampling cohesionless soils there is movement towards the use of high quality in-situ tests either to derive soil parameters for use in conventional design me-thods or through the use of ... -
Consolidation and Drying Properties of Sewage Sludge
(2005)The consolidation and air-drying properties of dewatered sewage sludge from Tullamore municipal wastewater treatment plant were studied using soil laboratory tests. Biologically active, and stabilized samples prepared in ... -
Yield Behavior of Sand under Generalized Stress Conditions
(2005)The yield behavior of Leighton Buzzard sand was studied for different magnitudes of the three principal stresses and different orientations of the major principal stress using a hollow cylinder apparatus. Stress paths were ... -
Yield Behavior of Sand Under Generalized Stress Conditions
(2005)The yield behavior of Leighton Buzzard sand was studied for different magnitudes of the three principal stresses and different orientations of the major principal stress using a hollow cylinder apparatus. Stress paths were ... -
Stabilisation of Stanton Lees Landslip Using Pile Retaining Wall Solution
(2006)A landslip in the village of Stanton Lees, Derbyshire, UK, was reported in November 2000 following a period of torrential rainfall. The slip resulted in the gradual and progressive down-slope movement of a relatively steeply ... -
Case Study Using LIDAR to Measure the Morphology of a Bog
(2007)Bogs are dynamic hydrological systems. The morphology of a bog changes annually, effectively swelling during the wintertime and shrinking during the summertime, and the dynamics of the morphology must be understood to ... -
Development and Uses of the UCD Hollow Cylinder Apparatus
(2007)The presentation will describe the development of a versatile hollow cylinder apparatus at UCD in the 1990?s, and its subsequent use in studying the yield behaviour of sand under generalised stress (multi-directional ... -
Slope Stabilization of an Embankment on the West Coast Main Line, UK
(2008)A site inspection of an embankment on the West Coast Main Line (UK) revealed a general de-terioration of the embankment, significant movement of the trackside services and waterlogging and bulging along the embankment toe. ... -
Performance of Embankments on Soft Ground: A1033 Hedon Road Improvement Scheme, UK
(2008)This paper presents the response of the ground foundation during the construction of the approach embankments to a new flyover at Salt End junction, A1033 Hedon Road Improvement Scheme, UK. The site area was underlain by ... -
Rampart Roads in the Peat Lands of Ireland: Genesis, Development and Current Performance
(2008)The construction and improvement of roads on peat lands has always been a challenging task in geotechnical engineering. Rampart roads, which are a particular feature of the bog roads in Ireland, are caused by the excavation ...
