Reflections on the residual strength of clay soils, with special reference to bedding-controlled landslides 16 May 2013 | 05:01 pm

This Glossop Lecture is about landslides and their slip surfaces at residual strength in clays. Particularly in southern England, but also elsewhere, landslides in infrastructure cuttings and many nat...

A review of small island hydrogeology: progress (and setbacks) during the recent past 16 May 2013 | 05:01 pm

Careful resource management is needed on small inhabited islands because demand can stress finite fresh groundwater reserves. Managers need to be informed how the groundwater system functions so that ...

Deoxygenated gas occurrences in the Lambeth Group of central London, UK 16 May 2013 | 05:01 pm

Deoxygenated air poses a serious, life-threatening hazard (confined space hypoxia) for engineering projects in London, particularly within the Upnor Formation of the Lambeth Group. This paper reviews ...

Aspects of water well design and construction in confined Chalk overlain by Basal Sands in the London Basin with particular reference to sand ingress 16 May 2013 | 05:01 pm

The Palaeocene Basal Sands of the London Basin are usually in hydraulic continuity with the underlying Cretaceous Chalk aquifer. They are a minor aquifer rarely utilized for water supply. Instead, pro...

Groundwater cooling of a large building using a shallow alluvial aquifer in Central London 16 May 2013 | 05:01 pm

Shallow alluvial aquifers have been overlooked as thermal resources for low-carbon cooling in the UK. Most existing groundwater cooling systems in central London, for instance, use the deeply confined...

Geological controls on tunnelling in the chalk of Southwick Hill, Brighton 16 May 2013 | 05:01 pm

Twin 12.5 m diameter, 470 m long road tunnels were constructed in the Newhaven Chalk Formation of Southwick Hill, NW of Brighton, UK. The tunnel was supported using shotcrete and untensioned bolts, th...

Alkali-silica reactivity of some common rock types. A global petrographic atlas 16 May 2013 | 05:01 pm

The correct identification of potentially alkali–silica reactive aggregates is important for the prevention of alkali–silica reaction (ASR) in concrete. Although a number of standards for assessment o...
