... techniques have been used to measure strain localisation widths in sands, there have been fewer investigations in clays and measurement accuracy remains unquantified. In view of this, this paper investigates the feasibility of using image-based deformation measurement techniques to measure strain...

... during the continuous penetration of a cone penetrometer in layered clays. A series of centrifuge tests was conducted with the cone penetrating through soft–stiff, stiff–soft, soft–stiff–soft and stiff–soft–stiff clay profiles. Particle image velocimetry allowed accurate resolution of the soil flow...

...Bin Huang, PhD; Barry M. Lehane, BE, MAI, DIC, PhD, FTCD, FIEAust, CPEng; Phillip Watson, BE, BCom, PhD, FTSE, FIEAust, CPEng The shaft capacity of driven piles in clay increases with time even after installation-induced consolidation is completed. However, existing studies have shown...

...Masoud Haghparast; Hadi Shahir; Abbas Ghalandarzadeh Large settlement and lateral deformation during construction of a rubble mound, such as a breakwater, over a soft clayey foundation are a challenge. Different mechanisms contribute to excessive settlement of marine clay, including consolidation...

...Lina-María Pua, MSc; Bernardo Caicedo, PhD This paper describes a new approach to modelling the three-dimensional (3D) variability of soil by using a multi-material 3D printer to extrude slurries of different types of clays. First, a distribution of the liquid limit in space was obtained using...

...Marawan M. Shahien, PhD; Ahmed M. Nasr, PhD; Ahmed Farouk, PhD; Mohamed Harfoush, BSc Construction on a soft clay soil requires the use of deep foundations. In most of the cases, the applied vertical load on the pile is satisfied by an end-bearing layer. However, in many cases the lateral capacity...

...Fauzan Sahdi; Christophe Gaudin; David J. White; Noel Boylan This technical note describes a simple methodology for reliably measuring the undrained strength of ultra-soft consolidating clay in the geotechnical centrifuge, using the T-bar penetrometer. This methodology relies on the T-bar...
