Journal Article
Leak, J., Dimitriadi, V., Barreto, D., Bernal-Sanchez, J., & Imre, E. (2025). Establishing a Relationship between Particle size distribution & Thaw weakening Susceptibility in Soils. Cold Regions Science and Technology, 231, Article 104423. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coldregions.2025.104423

Susceptibility to frost action in soils is an important consideration in cold and seasonably cold regions. Whilst the particle size distribution (PSD) is commonly used to measure susceptibility to frost action, this method is typically seen as unreli...

An Innovative Approach to Geotechnical Seismic Isolation: Rubber-Soil Mixture Trenches (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bernal-Sanchez, J., Mcdougall, J., Barreto, D., Dimitriadi, V., Leak, J., & Nseabasi, M. (2024, June). An Innovative Approach to Geotechnical Seismic Isolation: Rubber-Soil Mixture Trenches. Presented at 18th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering, Milan, Italy

This study presents a Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) system proposed for utilising Rubber-Soil mixtures (RSm) to enhance the dynamic performance of a modified soil and foundation structure. The inclusion of RSm enables the system to exhibit low... Read More about An Innovative Approach to Geotechnical Seismic Isolation: Rubber-Soil Mixture Trenches.
