Effect of particle loss on soil behaviour. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kelly, D., McDougall, J., & Barreto, D. (2012, August). Effect of particle loss on soil behaviour. Paper presented at ICSE-6 6th International Conference on Scour and Erosion

Soil particle loss can result in strength and volume reductions which are difficult to predict. This paper investigates the influence of the removal of fractions of selected particle sizes under different confining pressures. The mass loss process...

The use of electronic voting systems to enhance deep learning. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barreto, D. (2012). The use of electronic voting systems to enhance deep learning. In B. McCabe, M. Pantazidou, & D. Phillips (Eds.), Shaking the Foundations of Geo-engineering Education - proceedings of the international conference Shaking the Foundation

The present paper introduces a technology-enhanced teaching method that promotes deep learning. Four stages that correspond to four different student cohorts were used for its development and to analyse its effectiveness. The effectiveness of the m...

The influence of inter-particle friction and the intermediate stress ratio on soil response under generalised stress conditions (2012)
Journal Article
Barreto, D., & O'Sullivan, C. (2012). The influence of inter-particle friction and the intermediate stress ratio on soil response under generalised stress conditions. Granular Matter, 14(4), 505-521. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10035-012-0354-z

Previous research studies have used either physical experiments or discrete element method (DEM) simulations to explore, independently, the influence of the coefficient of inter-particle friction (μ) and the intermediate stress ratio (b) on the behav...
