The Master Plant: Tobacco in Lowland South America (2015)
Book
Described as a 'master plant' by many indigenous groups in lowland South America, tobacco is an essential part of shamanic ritual, as well as a source of everyday health, wellbeing and community. In sharp contrast to the condemnation of the tobacco i... Read More about The Master Plant: Tobacco in Lowland South America.
Environmental policy in an international perspective (2003)
Book
The volume contains papers presented at a conference "On the International Dimension of Environmental Policy". It deals with two issues: international environmental agreements; environmental policies in open economies. Both issues are hot topics. The...

Rainfall induced deformation on unsaturated collapsible soils (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The stability of transportation infrastructure can be affected by seasonal rainfall infiltrated adjacent excavations and natural slopes. The paper investigates the rainfall-induced deformation of an anchored excavation constructed in unsaturated soil... Read More about Rainfall induced deformation on unsaturated collapsible soils.
Water retention and characteristic curves representing tropical clay soils from Africa (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Soil water retention curves (SWRCs) form an essential component of frameworks coupling the hydromechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils. The curves describe how suction changes with variables such as degree of saturation, void ratio and volumetric/...

Centrifuge modelling of pile pull-out tests in expansive soil (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Designing foundations of wind turbines in expansive soils present a challenge. Piled foundations are often used to mitigate some of the problems associated with construction on expansive soils. Swelling clays frequently occur in an unsaturated state... Read More about Centrifuge modelling of pile pull-out tests in expansive soil.
Soil water retention curves representing tropical clay soils from Africa (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
An expansive clay for centrifuge modelling (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper explores the development of an expansive soil which can be repeatedly reproduced for use in centrifuge models to investigate soil-structure interaction problems involving expansive soils. The study considered two materials, namely a sand-b... Read More about An expansive clay for centrifuge modelling.
Preparations for field testing for the performance validation of piled wind turbine foundations in expansive clays (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Field-testing of piles in an expansive clay is required for the validation of the design criteria for wind turbine foundations in such soil profiles. The test programme includes lateral load tests to investigate the horizontal stiffness of the soil a...

Numerical analysis of cavity propagation in deep trapdoor experiments (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large areas of the economically important Gauteng Province of South Africa are underlain by extensively weathered dolomite bedrock in which sinkholes are a common occurrence. Deep trapdoor experi-ments were conducted in the geotechnical centrifuge to... Read More about Numerical analysis of cavity propagation in deep trapdoor experiments.

The seconomics (security-economics) vulnerabilities of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Traditionally, security and economics functionalities in IT financial services and protocols (FinTech) have been perceived as separate objectives. We argue that keeping them separate is a bad idea for FinTech “Decentralized Autonomous Organizations”...
