Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaquin, P., Augarde, C., & Gerrard, C. (2007). Historic rammed earth structures in Spain: construction techniques and a preliminary classification. In B. V. Venkatarama Reddy, & M. Mani (Eds.), Proceedings of International Symposium on Earthen Structures 2007

Conservation and repair of historic rammed earth sites should only be undertaken if there is a good understanding of the consequences of any intervention technique. Until recently there has been little interest in the characterisation of historic ram...

Suction measurements of a sandy-clay soil with the filter paper technique (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mendes, J., Gallipoli, D., Augarde, C., Toll, D., & Medero, G. (2007). Suction measurements of a sandy-clay soil with the filter paper technique.

This paper presents a study of the soil water retention curves of a sandy clay soil compacted at different water contents. The suction measurements were obtained using the filter paper and the psychrometer methods. For each compaction condition, the...

Parallel Computing of Unsaturated Soils Using Element-By-Element and Domain Decomposition Methods (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, Y., Gallipoli, D., & Augarde, C. (2007). Parallel Computing of Unsaturated Soils Using Element-By-Element and Domain Decomposition Methods. In Z. Z. Yin, J. P. Yuan, & A. C. .. Chiu (Eds.),

The finite element (FE) simulation of large scale boundary value problems in unsaturated soils is particularly time-consuming owing to the complex properties of the unsaturated porous media. To speed up analyses, a parallel FE code has been developed... Read More about Parallel Computing of Unsaturated Soils Using Element-By-Element and Domain Decomposition Methods.
