This paper discusses the design and development of a new direct simple shear (DSS)
apparatus for testing peat soils. The apparatus has been designed to test peat at low
effective stresses, representative of its in-situ ...
Communications are an outstanding feature of Ireland's rural landscape. Some roads date from early times, but a network of roads and lanes, much denser than in most of Europe, developed strongly in the eighteenth and ...
