  • Distributed fibre optic sensing for sinkhole early warning : experimental study 
    Moller, Tobias; Da Silva Burke, Talia Simone; Xu, Xiaomin; Della Ragione, Gianluigi; Bilotta, Emilio; Abadie, Christelle N. (ICE Publishing, 2023-08)
    This paper presents experimental work aimed at proving the feasibility of using distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOS) as an early warning system for sinkhole detection. The 1g experiments were conducted using a plane-strain ...
  • Drying and wetting soil-water retention behaviour of a highly expansive clay under varying initial density 
    Murison, Ruan A.; Jacobsz, Schalk Willem; Gaspar, Tiago Alexandre Valentim; Da Silva Burke, Talia Simone; Osman, Ashraf S. (EDP Sciences, 2023)
    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 millions of dollars’ worth of damage to ...
  • Fibre optic sensing for strain field measurement in geotechnical laboratory experiments 
    Della Ragione, Gianluigi Della; Abadie, C.N.; Xu, X.; Da Silva Burke, Talia Simone; Moller, T.; Bilotta, Emilio (ICE Publishing, 2023-12)
    Strain measurement inside the soil body in three-dimensional (3D) experiments is a real challenge for physical modellers in geotechnics. The use of fibre optic sensing offers the possibility of continuous measurement of ...
  • Fly-by-Pi : open source closed-loop control for geotechnical centrifuge testing applications 
    Broekman, Andre; Jacobsz, Schalk Willem; Louw, Hendrik; Kearsley, Elsabe P.; Gaspar, Tiago Alexandre Valentim; Da Silva Burke, Talia Simone (Elsevier, 2020-10)
    Geotechnical centrifuges are valuable instruments for physical modelling of complex geotechnical problems in a controlled laboratory setting. In comparison to full-scale testing, scaled models are cost effective to construct ...
  • Measurement of pile uplift forces due to soil heave in expansive clays 
    Da Silva Burke, Talia Simone; Jacobsz, Schalk Willem; Elshafie, M.Z.E.B.; Osman, A.S. (Canadian Science Publishing, 2022-12)
    Piled foundations are widely used to limit the movement of foundations in expansive clays. These piles are subjected to large uplift forces as the clay swells (and downdrag forces when it shrinks). The appropriate method ...
  • Numerical investigation of fibre optic sensing for sinkhole detection 
    Della Ragione, Gianluigi; Bilotta, Emilio; Xu, Xiaomin; Da Silva Burke, Talia Simone; Moller, Tobias; Abadie, Christelle N. (ICE Publishing, 2024)
    This paper forms part of the SINEW(sinkhole early warning) project and continues the work conducted by Möller and co-workers in 2022, where 1g experiments demonstrated the feasibility of using distributed fibre-optic sensing ...
