Addressing the challenges of homogeneity, quality control and waste handling in soil bio-cementation: A large-scale experiment

Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis, Ray Harran

In an attempt to go beyond the conventional laboratory experiments widely reported in literature around the emerging technique of soil bio-cementation, this work addresses key challenges related to its large-scale application. Precisely, a state-of-the-art ...

The Permeability of Porous Volcanic Rock Through the Brittle-Ductile Transition

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Gabriel Gérard Dominique Meyer, Corentin Jean-Marie Rémi Noël, Michael Heap

The permeability of volcanic rock controls the distribution of pore fluids and pore fluid pressure within a volcanic edifice, and is therefore considered to influence eruptive style and volcano deformation. We measured the porosity and permeability of a po ...

Role of Stress History on the Swelling-Shrinkage Behavior of Compacted Scaly Clay

Alessio Ferrari

Compacted scaly clays are complex geomaterials widely used for the realization of dam cores and waste dump liners. This research aims to investigate the swelling/shrinkage behavior of these geomaterials subjected in an oedometric cell to complex hydromecha ...

Microstructure observations in compacted clays subjected to thermal loading

Lyesse Laloui, Melis Sütman, Roba Houhou

The response of clayey materials to thermal variation has been the subject of extensive studies, given the wide range of engineering applications which involve subjecting soils to substantial temperature fluctuations. A number of hypotheses have been propo ...

ELSEVIER2021

The paper presents the results of an experimental research devoted to investigate the response to suction variations of a scaly clay in compacted and reconstituted conditions. Different experimental techniques (axis translation, vapour equilibrium, dew poi ...

E D P SCIENCES2020

The aim of this project is to implement a boundary element method program in order to solve the soil mechanics problem of a two-layered soil subject to a contact on his top surface. For this, I use Python programming language and follow the fictitious elem ...

Stress management in the context of induced seismicity in subsurface reservoirs

Barnaby Padraig Fryer

The stress state of the subsurface has been shown to have an influence on a number of key processes. For example, the criticality of the stress state indicates how large stress changes need to be before a fault begins to slip, the mean effective stress con ...

Cell-free soil bio-cementation with strength, dilatancy and fabric characterization

Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis

A multi-disciplinary approach is adopted in the present work towards investigating bio-cemented geo-materials which extends from sample preparation, to microstructural inspection and mechanical behaviour characterization. We suggest a new way to induce “ce ...

Adapting to the ground enables stable footholds in legged locomotion by exploiting the structure of the terrain. On that account, we present a passive adaptive planar foot with three rotational degrees of freedom that is lightweight and thus suited for hig ...

Hydro-chemo-mechanical behavior of a sand/bentonite mixture upon wetting paths

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Donatella Manca

Sand/bentonite (S/B) mixtures are considered as backfilling materials for nuclear waste storage. The paper presents an experimental campaign that was carried out to investigate the swelling behavior of a S/B mixture, under different hydro-chemo-mechanical ...
