Rate Effect Behaviour of Different Clays from High Speed Triaxial Element Testing
… %/hr. Strain rate effects lead to increasing soil shear strength in fine grained soils under undrained conditions and are important for accurate predictions in a number of geotechnical applications. These include Rapid Load Testing (RLT) of piles, Free-Falling Penetrometers (FFP) and Deep …

The determination of soil parameters for design from stress path tests
… elastic deformation properties of an anisotropic soil within the context of critical state soil mechanics. The soil tested is a heavily overconsolidated Gault Clay. Laboratory triaxial testing on 38 mm samples is used to measure and soil 100 mm diameter stiffness. A microcomputer-based control …

Breaching of earth embankments and dams
… processes arising from a lack of appreciation of soil mechanics interacting with hydraulics and structural behaviour. The prediction of different breach processes requires the integration of techniques from all three disciplines. This thesis makes advances from earlier work (Mohamed, 2002) to …
