Fine-grained marine sediments often contain gas bubbles that can cause many geotechnical problems. This soil has a composite structure with fitting within the saturated matrix. The cavity detrimental effect on stiffness and strength when they are filled undissolved only. be pore water due to “bubble flooding”. Bubble flooding beneficial undrained shear because it makes matrix partially drained ...

Fibre orientation in fibre-reinforced sand (FRS) is highly anisotropic due to compaction during sample preparation or field construction. This makes the mechanical behaviour of FRS, such as strength and dilatancy, dependent on strain increment direction. While constitutive models that are able capture FRS have been proposed for conventional triaxial compression extension conditions only, this p...

Underground caverns in rock salt deposits are the most secure disposal method and a type of gas-storing facility. Gas storage plays a vital role in ensuring that a strategic relationship is secured between an established energy infrastructure provider and a midstream energy company. The Fischells Brook area is a pillow-shaped body of salts located in the St. George's Bay area of southwest Newfo...
