• Field and laboratory study of stress relief due to unloading in block samples of sensitive clay 

      Amundsen, Helene Alexandra; Emdal, Arnfinn; Thakur, Vikas Kumar Singh (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      A block sample goes through stress changes during and after sampling. Sensitive clays are affected by sample disturbance and stress changes have a great effect on sample quality. Reduction of the in-situ total stresses to ...
    • On the isotache viscous modelling of clay behaviour using the hyperplasticity approach 

      Dadrasajirlou, Davood; Grimstad, Gustav; Ghoreishian Amiri, Seyed Ali (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The thermodynamically based hyperplasticity framework is employed to develop a hyper-viscoplastic constitutive model describing clay's creep and rate-dependent behaviour. The proposed model complies with the concept of the ...
    • Scale effects during cone penetration in spatially variable clays 

      Zhang, Wangcheng; Pan, Yutao; Bransby, Fraser (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Cone penetration testing (CPT) has become one of the most commonly adopted in situ tests for site investigations, due to its reliability and repeatability of the measurements and the potential for direct use in design. For ...
