  • Centrifuge modelling of piled foundations in swelling clays 
    Gaspar, Tiago Alexandre Valentim (University of Pretoria, 2020)
    In geotechnical engineering, the soil type which has had some of the most severe economic implications is that of swelling clays. Swelling or expansive clays form a subgroup within the field of unsaturated soils which ...
  • Investigating the tensile behaviour of unsaturated soils using the Brazilian disc test 
    Gaspar, Tiago Alexandre Valentim (University of Pretoria, 2017)
    In geotechnical practice, soils are generally assumed to have negligible tensile strength. However, in the context of unsaturated soils, this strength can be significant and important to consider. In contrast to the two-phase ...
