Representing geotechnical entities on the world wide web (2003)
Journal Article
Toll, D., & Cubitt, A. (2003). Representing geotechnical entities on the world wide web. Advances in Engineering Software, 34(11-12), 729-736. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0965-9978%2803%2900097-8

This paper describes the development of GeotechML, a mark-up language for representing geotechnical data on the web. GeotechML is a version of XML (Extensible Mark-up Language) specifically targeted at geotechnical engineering. The representation of...

Surface reactivity of volcanic ash from the eruption of Soufrière Hills volcano, Monserrat, West Indies with implications for health hazards (2003)
Journal Article
Horwell, C., Fenoglio, I., Ragnarsdottir, K., Sparks, R., & Fubini, B. (2003). Surface reactivity of volcanic ash from the eruption of Soufrière Hills volcano, Monserrat, West Indies with implications for health hazards. Environmental Research, 93(2), 202-215. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0013-9351%2803%2900044-6

The fine-grained character of volcanic ash generated in the long-lived eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano, Montserrat, West Indies, raises the issue of its possible health hazards. Surface- and free-radical production has been closely linked to...

Characterization of respirable volcanic ash from the Soufrière Hills volcano, Montserrat, with implications for human health hazards (2003)
Journal Article
Horwell, C., Sparks, R., Brewer, T., Llewellin, E., & Williamson, B. (2003). Characterization of respirable volcanic ash from the Soufrière Hills volcano, Montserrat, with implications for human health hazards. Bulletin of Volcanology, 65(5), 346-362. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00445-002-0266-6

Volcanic ash, generated in the long-lived eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano, Montserrat, is shown to contain respirable (sub-4 µm) particles and cristobalite, a crystalline silica polymorph. Respirable particles of cristobalite can cause silico...

Critical-state parameters for an unsaturated residual sandy clay (2003)
Journal Article
Toll, D., & Ong, B. (2003). Critical-state parameters for an unsaturated residual sandy clay. Géotechnique, 53(1), 93-103. https://doi.org/10.1680/geot.53.1.93.37255

This paper presents experimental data from constant water content triaxial tests on a residual soil from Singapore, tested under unsaturated conditions with measurements of matric suctions. The data for critical-state conditions from these tests are... Read More about Critical-state parameters for an unsaturated residual sandy clay.
