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 ...
Evaluating the performance of three sensor types for long-term measurement of suctions in gold tailings

Narainsamy, Yashay; Jacobsz, S.W. (Schalk Willem) (EDP Sciences, 2023)

Investigation of piled foundations in swelling clays

Gaspar, Tiago Alexandre Valentim; Jacobsz, S.W. (Schalk Willem); Osman, Ashraf S. (EDP Sciences, 2023)

This paper presents the results of element testing and centrifuge modelling to investigate the behaviour of piled foundations in swelling clays. The study revealed that the preparation procedure implemented, was able to ...
Pore pressure response during tube sampling in gold tailings

McDonald, Gregory Darren; De Lange, Wallace; Jacobsz, S.W. (Schalk Willem) (EDP Sciences, 2023)

Capturing the in-situ state of mine tailings is important in determining its behaviour under loading for evaluating the risk of failure of tailings dams. Obtaining a high-quality undisturbed sample through tube sampling ...
