Soil–Water Retention Curve Prediction for Compacted London Clay Subjected to Moisture Cycles (2023)
Journal Article
Dias, A. S., Hughes, P. N., & Toll, D. G. (2024). Soil–Water Retention Curve Prediction for Compacted London Clay Subjected to Moisture Cycles. Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 42(4), 2799-2814. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10706-023-02706-z

The evolution of the hydraulic properties of London Clay when compacted at a range of initial conditions (density and water content) was investigated. The soil–water retention curve (SWRC) is observed to change as the soil is subjected to cycles of w...

A simple method to determine soil–water retention curves of compacted active clays (2023)
Journal Article
Dias, A. S., Hughes, P. N., Toll, D. G., & Glendinning, S. (2023). A simple method to determine soil–water retention curves of compacted active clays. Transportation Geotechnics, 43, 101138. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trgeo.2023.101138

Determining the Soil Water Retention Curve (SWRC) of an active clay constitutes a challenge due to the significant, and sometimes irreversible, volume changes that occur during wetting and drying cycles. A novel yet simple method of experimentally de... Read More about A simple method to determine soil–water retention curves of compacted active clays.

An Evolutionary Neural Network Approach for Slopes Stability Assessment (2023)
Journal Article
