Deterioration of geotechnical infrastructure: the influence of asset aging through environmental cycling (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stirling, S., Helm, P., Glendinning, S., Asquith, J., Hughes, P., & Toll, D. (2017). Deterioration of geotechnical infrastructure: the influence of asset aging through environmental cycling.

This paper sets out to establish the implication of weather driven deterioration processes on the long-term performance of infrastructure earthworks. With particular reference to UK transport network slopes, the work presented here centres on their s...

Stability Condition Identification of Rock and Soil Cutting Slopes Based on Soft Computing (2017)
Journal Article
Tinoco, J., Gomes Correia, A., Cortez, P., & Toll, D. G. (2017). Stability Condition Identification of Rock and Soil Cutting Slopes Based on Soft Computing. Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, 32(2), Article 04017088. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28asce%29cp.1943-5487.0000739

For transportation infrastructure, one of the greatest challenges today is to keep large-scale transportation networks, such as railway networks, operational under all conditions. This task becomes even more difficult to accomplish if one takes into... Read More about Stability Condition Identification of Rock and Soil Cutting Slopes Based on Soft Computing.

Critical state shear strength of an unsaturated artificially cemented sand (2017)
Journal Article
Toll, D., & Ali Rahman, Z. (2017). Critical state shear strength of an unsaturated artificially cemented sand. Géotechnique, 67(3), 208-215. https://doi.org/10.1680/jgeot.15.p.042

This paper presents the results of a set of 22 triaxial tests on an unsaturated artificially cemented sand. The results are used to explore the applicability of a number of unsaturated soil frameworks for interpreting the shear strength. Constant wat...
