Journal Article
Fonseca, J., Riaz, A., Bernal-Sanchez, J., Barreto Gonzalez, D., McDougall, J., Miranda Manzanares, M., …Dimitriadi, V. (2019)
Particle-scale interaction in sand-rubber mixtures and their influence on energy dissipation mechanisms. Géotechnique Letters, 9(4), 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1680/jgele.18.00221
Sand-rubber mixture (SRm) behaviour is affected by rubber content (RC) whilst dissipation in sands is caused by inter-particle sliding. Dissipation in SRm is as, or more signi...

Particle loss and volume change on dissolution: experimental results and analysis of particle size and amount effects
Journal Article
McDougall, J., Kelly, D., & Barreto, D. (2013)
Particle loss and volume change on dissolution: experimental results and analysis of particle size and amount effects. Acta geotechnica, 8(6), 619-627. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11440-013-0212-0
Soil particles may be lost through dissolution, degradation or erosion. Regardless of the process of loss, there follows a change in soil structure both in terms of phase comp...
