Experimental assessment of stiffness and damping in rubber-sand mixtures at various strain levels (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bernal-Sanchez, J., McDougall, J., Barreto, D., Marinelli, A., Dimitriadi, V., Anbazhagan, P., & Miranda, M. (2019, June). Experimental assessment of stiffness and damping in rubber-sand mixtures at various strain levels. Presented at 7th International Conference on Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering, Rome

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.

The geoengineering approach to the study of rivers and reservoirs (2019)
Journal Article
Corbett, P. W., Owen, A., Hartley, A., Pla-Pueyo, S., Barreto Gonzalez, D., Hackney, C., & Kape, S. (2019). The geoengineering approach to the study of rivers and reservoirs. Geological Society Special Publications, https://doi.org/10.1144/SP488-2018-98

This volume contains contributions for two meetings held to explore the links between geoscience and engineering in rivers and reservoirs (surface and subsurface). The first meeting was held in Brazil and as a result the volume contains many contrib... Read More about The geoengineering approach to the study of rivers and reservoirs.

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., Marinelli, A., & 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.
