Engineering characterisation of Norwegian glaciomarine silt

Long, Michael (Michael M.) ; Gudjonsson, Gisli ; Donohue, Shane ; Hagberg, Knut (Elsevier, 2010-02-09)

Guidance is provided for geotechnical engineers designing civil engineering works in silty soils based on a detailed characterisation of a glaciomarine silt from Os in western Norway. It was found that these soils are ...
Sampling disturbance in soft laminated clay

Long, Michael (Michael M.) (Institution of Civil Engineers, 2003-10)

Sample disturbance effects in the laminated facies at the Bothkennar soft clay research site are examined by comparing the results of laboratory tests on specimens obtained from three fixed piston tube samplers. A ...
Use of a downhole block sampler for very soft organic soils

Long, Michael (Michael M.) (ASTM International, 2006-09)

Techniques required to successfully obtain downhole block samples of typical very soft high plasticity organic clay from Ireland are described. The vane shear strength of the material is as low as 4 kPa. These included ...
