Dynamic Behaviour of a Geotechnical Seismic Isolation System with Rubber-Sand Mixtures to Enhance Seismic Protection (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bernal-Sanchez, J., McDougall, J., Miranda-Manzanares, M., & Barreto, D. (2022, September). Dynamic Behaviour of a Geotechnical Seismic Isolation System with Rubber-Sand Mixtures to Enhance Seismic Protection. Presented at 3rd European Conference on Earth

A Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) system is proposed in this study based on the use of Rubber-Soil mixtures (RSm) to facilitate the benefits of dynamic soil-foundation structure interaction. The latter is possible due to the lower stiffness and... Read More about Dynamic Behaviour of a Geotechnical Seismic Isolation System with Rubber-Sand Mixtures to Enhance Seismic Protection.

In a previous research program 74 artificial soil mixtures of natural fluvial soils were prepared in 4 series of measurements for falling head permeability testing, differing in d 10. The conclusions drawn from the original investigations were as fol... Read More about Examination of saturated hydraulic conductivity using grading curve functions.

Revisiting Hardin’s parameters for the quantification of particle breakage – A statistical entropy approach (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Leak, J., Barreto, D., Dimitriadi, V., & Imre, E. (2021). Revisiting Hardin’s parameters for the quantification of particle breakage – A statistical entropy approach. In Powders & Grains 2021 – 9th International Conference on Micromechanics on Gran

It is well recognised that particle breakage in granular materials is affected by stress level, stress path, initial density, and particle size distribution (PSD), amongst others. Furthermore, it has been shown that breakage has a significant influen... Read More about Revisiting Hardin’s parameters for the quantification of particle breakage – A statistical entropy approach.

Grading entropy coordinates and criteria for evaluation of liquefaction potential (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barreto Gonzalez, D., Leak, J., Dimitriadi, V., McDougall, J., Imre, E., & Lőrincz, J. (2019). Grading entropy coordinates and criteria for evaluation of liquefaction potential. In Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering for Protection and Development of En

Several methods are commonly used for the evaluation of liquefaction potential in soils. These include criteria based on SPT and CPT tests, shear wave velocity measurements and gradation limits, amongst others. This study applies the concept of gradi...

Grading curves and internal stability (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Imre, E., Barreto, D., Talata, I., Baille, W., Rahemi, N., Goudarzy, M., Lőrincz, J., & Singh, V. (2019, August). Grading curves and internal stability. Presented at MAFIOK 2019 - Matematikát, Fizikát És Informatikát Oktatók, Dunaújváros, Hungary

The measured grading curve is an empirical distribution function, a step function. This is considered here as a discrete distribution with fixed statistical cells. In the grading entropy theory it is characterized by the... Read More about Grading curves and internal stability.

A note on seismic induced liquefaction (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Any particle size distribution can be characterized by two parameter pairs (derived from the statistical entropy formula of discrete distributions) more effectively than simple diameter values (i.e., d50). The first entropy parameter is a conti... Read More about A note on seismic induced liquefaction.

Use of Compaction Grouting as Ground Improvement Technique in Compressible Solid Waste Landfill (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tsitsas, G., Dimitriadi, V., Barreto, D., & Ciortan, R. (2019). Use of Compaction Grouting as Ground Improvement Technique in Compressible Solid Waste Landfill. In Proceedings of the XVII European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering

Ground improvement methods are increasingly being used as means to control settlements and improve the shear strength of foundation soils. The compaction grouting (CG) method is a ground improvement method that is used as means...

Some earlier data were analysed, searching the relation between the minimum dry density emax and the two grading entropy parameters (mean log diameter and fraction number characteristic). The data were split into two components. The first... Read More about Preliminary study on the relationship between dry density of sands and the grading entropy parameters.
