Use of clay in the manufacture of lightweight aggregate
Clay is used as a raw material for the production of lightweight aggregates because it is readily processed into suitable granules and forms low-density but high strength aggregate particles when sintered at relatively low...
Compressive strength of extruded unfired clay masonry units
Interest in traditional unfired clay building materials has grown in the UK in recent years. Although the use of traditional vernacular techniques, such as cob, adobe and rammed earth, have raised the profile of earthen...

Macropore structure and permeability of clay fill samples from a historic clay fill earthwork
Near surface macropores and macro features (e.g. cracks and fissures) provide pathways for rapid water infiltration into the core of clay fill earthworks. However it is more difficult to measure the size and distribution of...

Phase formation behaviour in alkali activation of clay mixtures
Alkali-activated soils have potential as low carbon, low cost construction materials. There is a lack of fundamental understanding around how soil composition influences alkali activation behaviour, especially for uncalcined...
A novel methodology to regain sensitivity of quick clay in a geotechnical centrifuge
A novel reconstitution process is developed to reconstitute remoulded quick clay with comparable sensitivities to the sampled undisturbed material. This laboratory method is based on scaling some of the main in situ processes...
Rapid Isolation of Rare Isotype-Switched Hybridoma Variants
Stéphanie Charrin, Roberta Palmulli, Martine Billard, Denis Clay, Claude Boucheix, Guillaume Van Niel, Eric Rubinstein
Jul 04, 2020
CD63, a member of the tetraspanin superfamily, is used as a marker of late endosomes and lysosome-related organelles, as well as a marker of exosomes. Here, we selected rare isotype variants of TS63 by sorting hybridoma cells on...
Development of a novel mortar for use with unfired clay bricks
Interest in traditional unfired clay building materials, including cob, earth brick, and rammed earth, has grown in the UK in recent years. Although the use of vernacular techniques, such as cob and rammed earth, has raised the...

Mechanical and hydrological impacts of tree removal on a clay fill railway embankment
Seasonal shrinkage and swelling of clay fill railway embankments can disturb the track geometry, resulting in train speed restrictions that disrupt normal operations. Such movements are exacerbated by vegetation, but reliable...
Clay hydroxyl isotopes show an enhanced hydrologic cycle during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
Abstract The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was an abrupt global warming event associated with a large injection of carbon into the ocean-atmosphere system, as evidenced by a diagnostic...

Numerical analysis of energy piles in a hypoplastic soft clay under cyclic thermal loading
This work is a numerical investigation of the effect of thermally induced volumetric collapse of normally consolidated clays on the performance of energy piles. A series of coupled thermo‐hydro‐mechanical Finite Element...
Influence of clay minerals and associated minerals in alkali activation of soils
Alkali activation is promising for low environmental impact soil stabilisation. Given soils’ complexity, there is a lack of fundamental understanding of how the different components in soil influence their alkali activation...
Preparing for Effective Adoption and Use of Ebooks in Education
James Clay
Dec 01, 2012
As ebooks become mainstream and the percentage of academic publications delivered as ebooks rises steadily, this report is a primer to help academic librarians, managers and members of faculty prepare for the increasing adoption...

Forecasting the long-term deterioration of a cut slope in high-plasticity clay using a numerical model
Harry Postill, Peter Helm, Neil Dixon, Stephanie Glendinning, Joel Smethurst, Mohamed Rouainia, Kevin Briggs, Ashraf El-Hamalawi, Anthony Blake
Jan 31, 2021
This paper details development of a numerical modelling framework that has been employed to forecast the long-term performance of a cut slope formed in high plasticity clay. It links hydrological and mechanical behaviour in a...
An inverse modelling approach to estimate the hygric parameters of clay-based masonry during a Moisture Buffer Value test
This paper presents an inverse modelling approach for parameter estimation of a model dedicated to the description of moisture mass transfer in porous hygroscopic building materials. The hygric behaviour of unfired clay-based...
Correlation of mechanical properties of clay filled polyamide mouldings with chromatographically measured surface energies
Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) has been used to investigate the surface properties of calcined kaolins and the effect on the mechanical properties of a Nylon-6 composite containing the clay. Modification of the kaolin with an...
