This paper presents the results of a centrifuge study in which swell of an expansive clay
profile was induced in the centrifuge. A factor which has previously hindered such research …

Expansive clays are problem soils that undergo significant volume changes with seasonal
wetting and drying. These volume changes cause damage to civil engineering infrastructure …

This paper presents the results of element testing and centrifuge modelling to investigate the
behaviour of piled foundations in swelling clays. The study revealed that the preparation …

Expansive (or swelling) clays are the most prolific problem soil across Southern Africa and
many parts of the world. Large volume changes due to seasonal wetting and drying cause …

The hydromechanical properties of a South African expansive clay are reported. In this
study, swell potential and swell pressure were assessed by two oedometric approaches …

This article presents the results of full-scale testing of laterally loaded piles installed in an
unsaturated expansive clay profile. For the pile tested under natural water content …

The development of wind farms across Africa is an attractive solution to meet the increasing
electricity demand of a growing and widely dispersed population, whilst ensuring that such …
