  • Centrifuge modelling of an expansive clay profile using artificial fissuring to accelerate swell 
    Gaspar, Tiago Alexandre Valentim; Jacobsz, S.W. (Schalk Willem); Smit, G.; Gens, A.; Toll, D.G.; Osman, A.S. (Elsevier, 2023-01)
    This paper presents the results of a centrifuge study in which swell of an expansive clay profile was induced in the centrifuge. A factor which has previously hindered such research is the time required to induce significant ...
  • Centrifuge modelling of piled foundations in swelling clays 
    Gaspar, Tiago Alexandre Valentim; Jacobsz, Schalk Willem; Smit, G.; Osman, A.S. (Canadian Science Publishing, 2024-01)
    A study aimed towards assessing the variation in shaft capacity of piled foundations in swelling clays is presented. At the clay's in-situ water content, the results of pull-out tests on short-length piles revealed no ...
