  • Assessment of reliability of the hydrometer by examination of sediment 
    Stott, Philip; Monye, Priscilla; Theron, Elizabeth (First Southern African Geotechnical Conference, At Sun City, South Africa, 2016)
    A fundamental aspect of the characterization of any soil is the assessment of its particle size distribution. While this is relatively easy for the coarse fraction it remains problematic for soil fines particu-larly for ...
  • Assessment of theMineral Composition of Heaving Soils Using Geotechnical Properties 
    Fondjo, Armand, Augustin; Theron, Elizabeth (Civil Engineering and Architecture 8(4): 619-631, 2020, 2020-06-04)
    The behaviour of heaving soils is generally governed by the matric suction. Nonetheless, the mineralogical characteristics influence the geotechnical behaviour. X-ray diffraction is a common technique used to determine the ...
  • Duplicate Testing Conducted On The Input Parameters For The Estimation Of Potential Expansiveness Of Clay 
    Badenhorst, Wessel; Theron, Elizabeth; Stott, Philip (Innovative Geotechnics for Africa - Bouassida, Khemakhem & Haffoudhi, 2015-04)
    This paper presents a study conducted on three active clay soils analysed at seven commercial laboratories in South Africa. Commercial test results are often used as input parameters for prediction models used to estimate ...
  • Physical modeling of catchment area by rapid prototyping using GIS data 
    Agrawall, Sanat; Antunes, João Paulo; Theron, Elizabeth; Truscott, Michele; de Beer, Deon J. (Emerald: Rapid Prototyping Journal, 2006)
    The purpose of the present work is to develop a methodology for making physical models of catchment areas and terrains by rapid prototyping (RP) using geographic information systems (GIS) data. It is also intended to reduce ...
