Conference Proceeding
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 Granular Media. https://doi.org/10.1051/epjconf/202124907001

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)
Conference Proceeding
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 Environment and Constructions (1346-1353). https://doi.org/10.1201/9780429031274

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...

Experimental assessment of stiffness and damping in rubber-sand mixtures at various strain levels (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Bernal-Sanchez, J., Mcdougall, J., Barreto, D., Marinelli, A., Dimitriadi, V., Anbazhagan, P., & Miranda, M. (2019). Experimental assessment of stiffness and damping in rubber-sand mixtures at various strain levels. In Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering for Protection and Development of Environment and Constructions (1403-1410)

The dynamic properties of shredded rubber-soil mixtures (ShRm), comprising a sub-rounded quartz sand combined with small rubber shreds at 0, 10, 20, 30% by mass, were investigated. Testing ranged from small strain, in resonant column apparatus, to la... Read More about Experimental assessment of stiffness and damping in rubber-sand mixtures at various strain levels.

In Geotechnical Engineering for Infrastructure and Development: XVI European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. https://doi.org/10.1680/ecsmge.60678.vol4.323

A novel numerical methodology is presented and used to simulate the seismic response of footings on liquefiable ground, locally improved in order to reduce settlements and increase the bearing capacity of the foundation. The numerical simulation adop... Read More about Numerical analysis of liquefaction affected shallow foundations performance on improved ground..

Analysis of strip foundation performance on liquefied ground with limited ground improvement (2015)
Conference Proceeding

In Geotechnical Engineering for Infrastructure and Development: XVI European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. https://doi.org/10.1680/ecsmge.60678.vol4.322

According to modern seismic codes, the use of shallow foundations on liquefiable soils is only acceptable after proper ground improvement underneath and around the foundation. Still, there are no widely acceptable guidelines for choosing the required... Read More about Analysis of strip foundation performance on liquefied ground with limited ground improvement.
