The modes of granular segregation

Granular segregation will be studied using dynamic X-ray tomography. This will be a pioneering study into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of segregation. more...

Levee formation in debris flows and avalanches

Levees are a feature of many gravity current flows, yet their formation is not fully understood. This project will track their formation in laboratory scale experiments, and develop more...

Crushable granular flows

In both earthquakes and landslides, grains are often crushed during flow. This changes the flowing behaviour, and causes the flow to accelerate. This project will develop an experim more...

Groundwater Protection with Geosynthetics Clay Liners: Behaviour under Unsaturated Conditions

Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) are engineered systems made of bentonite clay sandwiched between two geotextiles and used in conjunction with high-density polyethylene geomembranes more...

Dynamic effects in soil (A) – Rapid penetration of objects into clays.

The objective of this project is to perform a series of experiments to improve our understanding of rate effects in clays. more...

Dynamic effects in soil (B) – Dynamic compaction

The aim of this project is to provide new experimental data of the mechanics of the compaction process using photographic techniques and other instrumentation. more...

Hydro-mechanical effects associated with geo-sequestration of CO2 in coal

The aim of this project is to perform tests to explore the ease with which CO2 flows through coal, and how this may change as adsorbtion occurs, and to investigate the resulting cha more...

Studies of interface behaviour between soil and particulate materials and solids

This project involves the study of interface behaviour between soil and particulate materials and solids. more...

Degradation of cementation in soil element tests

The objective of the work will be to provide experimental data on the evolution (degradation) of cementation of artificially and naturally cemented geomaterials. more...

Simple shear tests of clay

The project would involve carrying out a series of tests on clay specimens at a range of stress levels and for a number of stress histories. more...
