Significant quantities of site won fill material are generated from the High Speed Two (HS2) C23 main works civil engineering contract, during the excavation for the formation of cuttings and construction of tunnels. This study investigates the suitability of weathered structureless Chalk, stabilised with cement, for use as engineered embankment fill fo...
View ArticleLiquefaction induced by earthquakes causes instability of buildings such as large average and/or relative settlements. Such occurrences can lead to damage to the building structures. Usually, when an earthquake occurs, saturated loose sandy ground is the most susceptible to liquefaction. Even for saturated silty ground with small SPT N-values, the possi...
View ArticleMost gravity dam failures occur due to sliding along the dam/foundation interface, rock mass discontinuities, or rock mass layers of lower strength. The possibility of sliding of a dam is usually evaluated based on simplified limit equilibrium techniques. In this study an explicit time-stepping small displacement algorithm, Parmac2D-Fflow, is used to as...
