This paper aims to investigate the mechanical behaviour of peat stabilised with glacial rock flour for foundation construction. Peat, a natural organic soil, presents challenges for construction due to its high compressibility and low bearing capacit...

A Grading Entropy Review of PSD-Based Frost Susceptibility Criteria (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Leak, J., Barreto, D., Wright, C., Bernal Sanchez, J., & Imre, E. (2024, February). A Grading Entropy Review of PSD-Based Frost Susceptibility Criteria. Presented at Geo-Congress 2024, Vancouver, British Columbia

Particle size distribution (PSD) is recognised among geotechnical engineers as an informative soil descriptor, and often used to predict geomechanical behaviours. However, the effectiveness of PSD to characterise frost action is debatable. Existing c... Read More about A Grading Entropy Review of PSD-Based Frost Susceptibility Criteria.
