Geo-engineering Properties of Municipal Treatment Plant Sludges
(2009)The presentation covers the geo-engineering properties of water treatment residues (WTRs) and sewage sludge materials pertinent to their efficient and safe disposal, in particular to landfill. The WTRs are by-products of ... -
The Anisotropy of Leighton Buzzard Sand Under General Stress Conditions
(2003)A hollow cylinder apparatus was used to investigate the inherent anisotropy and membrane penetration of Leighton Buzzard sand test-specimens. The degree of inherent anisotropy was found to be independent of the mean ... -
The Yield Behavior of Leighton Buzzard Sand in a Hollow Cylinder Apparatus
(2005)The yield behavior of Leighton Buzzard sand was investigated for different magnitudes of the three principal stresses and rotation of the major principal stress axis using a hollow cylinder apparatus. The magnitude of the ... -
An Overview of the University College Dublin Hollow Cylinder Apparatus
(2001)This presentation is divided into two sections. First, an example showing the influence of the principal stresses on the strength and deformation characteristics of a soil is discussed. Secondly, an overview of a unique ... -
Peat Improvement Under Vacuum Preloading: A Novel Approach for Bog Roads in Ireland
(2010)This paper presents the preliminary findings of a TCD/NRA vacuum preloading field trial which is part of a research project into construction options for improving rampart roads. Vacuum preloading is a construction method ... -
Development of a New Apparatus for Hollow Cylinder Testing
(PhD thesis, University College Dublin (Supervisor Dr. T.F. Widdis; Extern Prof. David Muir Wood), University College Dublin, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, 2001)The Hollow Cylinder Apparatus (HCA) is the only soil test device that can facilitate independent control of both the magnitudes and directions of the principal stresses. The stress history and loading conditions at a point ... -
Stimulated decomposition in peat for engineering applications
(2013)Peat deposits are highly compressible, undergoing significant long-term settlement, particularly for fibrous peat. Since decomposition of organic matter can have a significant effect on compression behaviour, the ability ... -
Method to compare water content values determined on the basis of different oven drying temperatures
(ICE Publishing, 2005-03) -
Characterisation and undrained strength of amorphous clay
(2014)This paper presents the physiochemical properties and relationship of saturated remoulded undrained shear strength, sur, against water content, w, for an amorphous organic clay, namely an alum water-treatment residue ... -
Undrained shear strength-water content relationship for sewage sludge
(2013)Micro-fibrous organic clays include sludges and residues derived from municipal and industrial treatment processes. This paper studies the relationship of water content w against remoulded undrained shear strength sur of ... -
Geotechnical teaching and research reaches fifty year milestone at TCD
(2009)Brendan O?Kelly, Trevor Orr and Eric Farrell describe the development of geotechnical engineering, one of the youngest branches of civil engineering, and in particular the development of the curriculum and research ...
