The Use of High-Capacity Tensiometer for Cyclic Triaxial Testing of Railway Formation Material (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kumar, A., Azizi, A., & Toll, D. G. (2024, November). The Use of High-Capacity Tensiometer for Cyclic Triaxial Testing of Railway Formation Material. Presented at 5th International Conference on Transportation Geotechnics (ICTG) 2024, Sydney, Australia

The formation layers of railway embankments are often unsaturated and subjected to coupled cyclic traffic-induced and hydraulic loading. Understanding this coupled response requires the development of a testing protocol capable of subjecting soil sam...

Deterioration of a compacted soil due to suction loss and desiccation cracking (2024)
Journal Article
Kumar, A., Azizi, A., & Toll, D. (online). Deterioration of a compacted soil due to suction loss and desiccation cracking. Canadian Geotechnical Journal, https://doi.org/10.1139/cgj-2023-0453

This paper presents the results of laboratory testing of a clayey soil taken from a road subgrade in Tanzania. The results revealed a reduction in the soil water retention capacity, accompanied by shifts in the water retention curves with successive...

A Field Study on the Stability of Road Cut Slopes in Nepal (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Robson, E., Pradhan, S., & Toll, D. (2023, March). A Field Study on the Stability of Road Cut Slopes in Nepal. Presented at Geo-Resilience 2023, Cardiff University

The density of Nepal’s road network has more than tripled in the last three decades. This growth has been rapid, extensive and in places haphazard, occurring on both the local and strategic road networks, and has resulted in the widespread failure of...
