Barreto, D., Prada-Sarmiento, L. F., & Ramos-Cañón, A. M. (2015, November). Micromechanical insight into the undrained instability of granular materials: deformation characteristics of geomaterials. Presented at 6th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials

There is no agreement between experimental researchers whether the point where a granular material responds with a large change of stresses, strains or excess pore water pressure given a prescribed small input of some of the same variables defines a...

An overview of research activities and achievement in Geotechnics from the Scottish Universities Geotechnics Network (SUGN). Presented at 16th European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Edinburgh

Design of geotechnical systems is often challenging as it requires the understanding of complex soil behaviour and its influence on field-scale performance of geo-structures. To advance the scientific knowledge and the technological development in ge...
