I'm pleased to be part of this project. The purpose of this guidelines document is to address critical aspects, encompassing cyclic loadings, drainage behavior of soils, and the significance of soil anisotropic properties in geotechnical assessments. offshore-mag.com/geosciences/ar…

A research publication from my PhD work. Except for specific cases, the kinematic loads are usually neglected in the seismic design of piles. Even if considered, it is assumed that the kinematic & inertial loads act together. 👇🏼article discusses the influence of phase difference.

New research from @Cambridge_Eng! "Influence of phase difference between kinematic and inertial loads on #seismic behaviour of pile foundations in layered soils" includes a series of dynamic centrifuge experiments carried out at 60g buff.ly/3en2hCq #geotechnical

60 years of Fugro😀. It’s been three months since I joined the Fugro and in this short duration I worked on three different projects in three different countries (offshore pile design analysis - Qatar, offshore pile fatigue analysis - UK and onshore problematic soils - Uganda).😀

Extremely Happy!! to share that our project (PRJ-2828 🔗shorturl.at/msHWX) on Centrifuge Testing of Liquefaction-Induced Downdrag on Piles \w @KaterinaZiot and @blkutter won the🌟2022 @NHERIDesignSafe OutstandingDataset Award🌟 @ucdaviscee @UCDavisCOE

@partha_90 Not really Partha, we already did index and engineering characterisation tests (including mineral characterisation tests) much before this centrifuge test.

Started a long duration clay centrifuge test on Friday evening. The model soil (equivalent soil developed for EU mining sites) has very low permeability compared to commonly used kaolin in centrifuge tests, resulting in a longer (re)consolidation time in the centrifuge. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@mui_shu I am not sure, rather than to do anything with type of material, water just percolated into pores of husk ash and uplifted it (due to lightweight of huskash)?

Ever seen such a quick swelling or upheaval of (clayey) soil? The video is believed to be from Hariyana, India. Source: From a Whatsapp group

@AnaNatalio Well, the site is an agricultural field. I guess the husk ash is basically used as a landfill rather than for any ground improvement. So, I don’t think they have mixed the lime with husk ash.

@CriticalStress_ That’s correct, the 15ft husk ash has swelled a lot rather than the top 3ft of soil. A news article reported that this heave is already settling.

@GaralaThejesh That does make sense. So it’s not really ‘natural’. Is water swelling the land fill? The linearity of it made me question the natural clay swelling idea.

@GianScaringi @Dr_LPrendergast Apparently there is a 15ft deep rice husk ash beneath the top 3ft soil. This husk ash has swelled a lot during the recent rains/floods in Haryana leading to such massive upheavel on the soil surface.

@uday1112 @CanGeotechJ Usually under soil boiling, water tries to escape at a particular location and forms a small soil heave around the area. But here, the soil is heaving upwards, mostly indicating that it is trying to swell. However, thorough investigations need to be done to know the exact reasons

@GaralaThejesh @CanGeotechJ While in our group we discussed that the active mineral montmorrilonite, the permeability ~ seepage is not so good for exhibiting this excessive swelling. We were looking into option of boiling phenomenon creating this heave... Open for discussion

@uday1112 The patches at the surface clearly indicate that the clay has cracks. Regarding soil boiling, I am not sure, water beneath the soil should be under very high pressures that it tries to escape forming boils. This can be true if there is atleast head difference at the location.
