With the advent of modern microstructural testing techniques and microstructure based
constitutive models the microstructural characterisation of soils is gaining prominence. This …

During the last few decades, a number of advanced experimental techniques have provided
an unprecedented insight into the behaviour of geomaterials. A notable example are the so …

Pre-compacted elements (disks, torus) of bentonite/sand mixture are candidate materials for
sealing plugs of radioactive waste disposal. Choice of this material is mainly based on its …

The use of high-resolution tomographic techniques has allowed for unprecedented
observations and a renewed understanding of geomaterials and processes. A laboratory x …

Accurate and large-scale assessment of volumetric water content (VWC) plays a critical role
in mining waste monitoring to mitigate potential geotechnical and environmental risks. In …

Compacted bricks of bentonite/sand mixture are planned to be used as sealing plugs in
deep radioactive waste disposal repositories because of their low permeability, high …

In situ and laboratory experiments have shown that electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is
an effective tool to image transient phenomena in soils. However, its application in …

This paper presents a review of some recent technical developments and scientific
accomplishments in laboratory experimental testing of geomaterials–with a special focus on …

This thesis presents the results of a comprehensive study on the small strain stiffness of
several Swedish clays and its tentative effect on the design of retaining structures. A …

Monitoring transport of dissolved substances in soil deposits is particularly relevant where
safety is concerned, as in the case of geo-environmental barriers. Geophysical methods are …
