Data Acquisition and Control Software for Automated Resistivity Measurements (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Toll, D., & Hassan, A. (2014, July). Data Acquisition and Control Software for Automated Resistivity Measurements. Presented at 2nd International Conference on Information Technology in Geo-Engineering, Durham, UK

Automated multi-electrode resistivity systems now allow rapid and efficient data acquisition of electrical resistivity measurements to address a wide range of hydrogeological, geotechnical and environmental problems. In this work, a flexible data acq... Read More about Data Acquisition and Control Software for Automated Resistivity Measurements.

Data Acquisition Software for Controlling Serial Ports with Cloud Data Storage (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Asquith, J., & Toll, D. (2014, July). Data Acquisition Software for Controlling Serial Ports with Cloud Data Storage. Presented at 2nd International Conference on Information Technology in Geo-Engineering, Durham, UK

A common requirement of laboratory and field data collection is for automated data logging software to control instrumentation and report on the results. Large projects may require a range of different instrumentation each with its own preferred meth... Read More about Data Acquisition Software for Controlling Serial Ports with Cloud Data Storage.

Modelling tertiary creep in geomaterials using a continuum damage mechanics approach (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Osman, A., & Birchall, T. (2014, August). Modelling tertiary creep in geomaterials using a continuum damage mechanics approach. Presented at International Symposium on Geomechanics from Micro and Macro, Cambridge, UK

Tertiary creep is often observed in soft rocks and it represents a problem in a mining environment. Tertiary creep behaviour appears due to progressive micro cracking of the material and would result in a loss of strength and stiffness, which may eve...

Information Technology in Geo-Engineering (2014)
Book
Toll, D., Zhu, H., Osman, A., Coombs, W., Li, X., & Rouainia, M. (Eds.). (2014). Information Technology in Geo-Engineering. IOS Press

Information technology continues to evolve and remains central to all aspects of geo-engineering. Key issues are the effective use and re-use of data, particularly within Building Information Modelling (BIM) frameworks; the use of smart monitoring; a...

On the calculation of cumulative strain around full-flow penetrometers in steady-state conditions (2014)
Journal Article
Osman, A., & Randolph, M. (2015). On the calculation of cumulative strain around full-flow penetrometers in steady-state conditions. International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, 39(4), 368-387. https://doi.org/10.1002/nag.2312

An approximate solution for the effects of high strain rates, and gradual strength degradation, on the penetration resistance of penetrometers can be obtained by combining the strain-path method with the classical upper bound theorem. The stream path... Read More about On the calculation of cumulative strain around full-flow penetrometers in steady-state conditions.

A Semi-analytical solution for consolidation around a spherical cavity in an elasto-plastic medium and its potential application for tunneling (2014)
Journal Article
Osman, A., & Rouainia, M. (2014). A Semi-analytical solution for consolidation around a spherical cavity in an elasto-plastic medium and its potential application for tunneling. International Journal of Computational Methods, 11(02), Article 1342010. https://doi.org/10.1142/s0219876213420103

An analytical solution for consolidation around spherical cavity contraction is developed. This solution has the potential to evaluate consolidation around tunnel heads. The initial excess pore water pressure immediately after the creation of the cav...
