The testing chamber where sand is deposited is instrumented with an array of pressure sensors, and the rig is equipped with a miniature cone penetration testing (mini-CPT) device. Measurements from the earth pressure sensors and cone tip resistance profiles are used to evaluate how friction at the sand−chamber interfaces affects the distribution of geostatic stresses inside the chamber, the uniformity of sand beds and boundary effects during deposition and during mini-CPT testing. The air pluviation system allows preparing layered sand profiles by adjusting the deposition parameters on the fly, and this feature is demonstrated through the analysis of mini-CPT tests performed in layered sand beds.]]> Wed 19 Apr 2023 13:17:15 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31144 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:23:30 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18659 Wed 04 Sep 2019 10:52:31 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21463 Tue 24 Aug 2021 14:29:37 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51815 Tue 19 Sep 2023 16:37:04 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52583 Tue 17 Oct 2023 15:55:22 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33787 Tue 15 Jan 2019 12:15:49 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32429 Tue 05 Jun 2018 14:09:07 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21064 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:26 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28629 in situ testing of soft clays falls short of world’s best practices. Consequences include risks of increased cost and time during construction, as well as geotechnical solutions that are more elaborate than necessary. Some limitations in current practice are identified and alternative methods are proposed that provide higher data quality at similar cost to current methods and improved understanding of the geomaterials under study, thus optimizing the selection of geotechnical solutions.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:38:58 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34268 Mon 25 Feb 2019 13:31:05 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32386 Mon 23 Sep 2019 11:11:42 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18645 Mon 20 Jul 2015 16:52:15 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50564 Fri 28 Jul 2023 11:20:31 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48086
1. The use crystallographic texture measurement techniques to uncover the evolution of fabric within clay soils as a function of deformation, and,

2. The use of neutron diffraction strain measurement techniques to examine the behaviour of force chain networks during the compaction of granular systems.

In both cases, neutrons are able to provide quantitative measurements that are difficult (if not impossible) to obtain any other way. In the first case, this refers to the direct measurement of the average fabric tensor over a representative sample; in the second, neutrons are able to determine the three-dimensional stress state within individual particles and hence allow the calculation of the actual force network existing within an entire assembly of particles.]]> Fri 24 Feb 2023 15:17:17 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53835 Fri 19 Jan 2024 10:03:58 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47866 Fri 03 Feb 2023 14:15:05 AEDT ]]>
