Particle breakage in soils is a well-recognised behaviour. Conventional methods for quantifying the breakage process rely on calculating the area between the particle size distribution (PSD) curves produced before and after crushing. A key aspect of...

Particle-scale interaction in sand-rubber mixtures and their influence on energy dissipation mechanisms (2019)
Journal Article
Fonseca, J., Riaz, A., Bernal-Sanchez, J., Barreto Gonzalez, D., McDougall, J., Miranda Manzanares, M., …Dimitriadi, V. (2019). Particle-scale interaction in sand-rubber mixtures and their influence on energy dissipation mechanisms. Géotechnique Letters, 9(4), 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1680/jgele.18.00221

Sand-rubber mixture (SRm) behaviour is affected by rubber content (RC) whilst dissipation in sands is caused by inter-particle sliding. Dissipation in SRm is as, or more significant than in sands. However, the mechanisms of dissipation in SRm are not... Read More about Particle-scale interaction in sand-rubber mixtures and their influence on energy dissipation mechanisms.

Seismic liquefaction performance of strip foundations: Effect of ground improvement dimensions (2017)
Journal Article
Dimitriadi, V. E., Bouckovalas, G. D., Chaloulos, Y. K., & Aggelis, A. S. (2018). Seismic liquefaction performance of strip foundations: Effect of ground improvement dimensions. Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 106, 298-307. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soildyn.2017.08.021

Evidence from field case studies, as well as from experimental and theoretical research, suggest that the detrimental effects of seismic liquefaction on the performance of surface foundations on level ground may be mitigated in presence of a non-liqu...

Seismic performance of strip foundations on liquefiable soils with a permeable crust (2017)
Journal Article
Dimitriadi, V., Bouckovalas, G., & Papadimitriou, A. (2017). Seismic performance of strip foundations on liquefiable soils with a permeable crust. Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 100, 396-409. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soildyn.2017.04.021

Modern seismic codes dictate that the use of shallow foundations on liquefiable soils may be considered only after appropriate ground improvement. No further instructions are given regarding the improvement depth, or what changes if the surface layer...
