Physical observations of the transient evolution of the porosity distribution during internal erosion using spatial time domain reflectometry

Adnan Sufian et al.

Summary: A purpose-built permeameter was used to investigate the transient evolution of porosity during filtration experiments, and quantitative characteristics of the mixing process were extracted from a porosity field map. The onset condition of mixing was influenced by geometric and hydraulic factors, while the progression of mixing involved the transport of base particles into the filter layer and the settlement of filter particles into the base layer. The rate of development of the mixture zone was strongly influenced by hydraulic loading conditions and base particle size, but the final height of the sample after complete mixing was independent of the hydraulic loading path.

Spherical discrete element model for estimating the hydraulic conductivity and pore clogging of pervious concrete

Othman AlShareedah et al.

Summary: The study focused on the relationship between hydraulic conductivity and clogging of pervious concrete with mixture parameters, simulated and validated by DEM and PFV models. Results showed that larger pore volume leads to sediment accumulation and significant reduction in permeability for pervious concrete.

Influence of Fabric on Stress Distribution in Gap-Graded Soil

Adnan Sufian et al.

Summary: The study investigates the combined influence of density and stress-induced fabric anisotropy on stress transmission in gap-graded soils with cohesionless fines. It shows that stress transfers from coarser to finer particles with increasing fines content, but there is no clear threshold fines content for a definitive transition in stress transmission nature. Instead, stress distribution between the two particle sizes gradually evolves with increasing fines content, depending on factors such as size ratio, density, and fabric anisotropy.
