Shear strength of a compacted scaly clay in variable saturation conditions

Scaly clays are stiff and highly fissured clays often used as construction materials. This paper presents the results of triaxial compression tests carried out on saturated and unsaturated samples of a compacted scaly clay. Complementary investigation on t ...

Effect of Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation on soil thermal conductivity

Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis, Sara Venuleo

Energy piles efficiency is strongly affected by soil saturation conditions: low water contents considerably decrease their performance thus limiting the possibility to extend their application in arid environments. This paper investigates the MICP (Microbi ...

A reduced basis finite element heterogeneous multiscale method for Stokes flow in porous media

Assyr Abdulle, Ondrej Budác

A reduced basis Darcy-Stokes finite element heterogeneous multiscale method (RB-DS-FE-HMM) is proposed for the Stokes problem in porous media. The multiscale method is based on the Darcy-Stokes finite element heterogeneous multiscale method (DS-FE-HMM) int ...

Multiphysical phenomena and mechanisms involved with energy piles

Lyesse Laloui, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria

This study proposes an analysis of the multiphysical phenomena and mechanisms governing the thermo-mechanical behaviour of energy piles. The analysis is based on the results of a series of full-scale in-situ tests, laboratory experiments and numerical anal ...

Fabric characteristics and mechanical response to bio-improved sand to various treatment conditions

Lyesse Laloui, Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Dimitrios Terzis

Investigating the enhanced mechanical response of treated soils through microbially induced calcite precipitation requires extensive understanding of the pore structure. Depending on the applied treatment conditions, the resulted material exhibits distinct ...

Frictional Properties of Opalinus Clay

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Luis Felipe Orellana Espinoza

Opalinus Clay (OPA) is the host rock being proposed in Switzerland for disposal of high-level radioactive waste. The stability of fault zones within this formation is a key issue to ensure long-term performance of the repository. To understand the friction ...

In-situ neutron diffraction during biaxial deformation

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem

A change in strain path may have a significant effect on the mechanical response of metals. In order to understand or even predict the macroscopic behaviour under such conditions a detailed knowledge on the microstructural evolution is crucial. Yet relativ ...

Influence of boundary conditions on the out-of-plane response of brick masonry walls in buildings with RC slabs

Katrin Beyer, Marco Tondelli

In modern unreinforced masonry buildings with stiff RC slabs, walls of the top ﬂoor are most susceptible to out-of-plane failure. The out-of-plane response depends not only on the acceleration demand and wall geom-etry but also on the static and kinematic ...

Unsteady flow and particle migration in dense, non-Brownian suspensions

Matthieu Wyart

We present experimental results on dense corn-starch suspensions as examples of non-Brownian, nearly hard particles that undergo continuous and discontinuous shear thickening (DST) at intermediate and high densities, respectively. Our results offer strong ...
