Meshkati, Ebi (author), Terwindt, Jarno (author), van Kessel, Thijs (author), Kirichek, Alex (author), Talmon, A.M. (author), Bezuijen, Adam (author)Soft mud deposits are increasingly encountered around the world, from natural offshore deposits and mud layers in estuaries, ports, and waterways to progressively growing leftover from treatment and extraction facilities, mines, and oil refineries. Reliable monitoring of the temporal and spatial strength buildup in such deposits is crucial to...conference paper 2022

Zheng, Dongzhu (author), Bezuijen, Adam (author), Talmon, A.M. (author)This paper presents an improvement on a previous model for predicting the Marsh funnel (MF) test that is used in slurry shield tunneling for evaluating the rheological properties of bentonite slurries. The improvement focuses on the prediction of the dynamic part for fluids with small MF times. The velocity profile of the Herschel-Bulkley...journal article 2022

(author)The use of geogrids to anchor Sheet Pile Walls (SPW) is relatively new. A series of small-scale tests was performed to investigate the behaviour of geogrid-Anchored SPWs subjected to strip footing surcharge loading. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) techniques were used to measure soil displacement and analyse the global failure mechanism and...journal article 2022

Xu, Tao (author), Bezuijen, Adam (author), Broere, W. (author)Tunnel-boring machine (TBM) tunnelling through an aquifer will generate excess pore water pressures in the soil around the tunnel face. Accurately predicting the magnitude of the excess pore water pressures is significant because it directly determines the effective face support pressure. In this study, an analytical solution for transient...journal article 2021

Konstadinou, M. (author), Bezuijen, A. (author), Greeuw, G. (author), Zwanenburg, C. (author), van Essen, H. M. (author), Voogt, L. (author)A series of undrained cyclic direct simple shear (CDSS) tests on dense Toyoura sand has been performed with the aim to investigate the influence of the stiffness of the DSS device on test results. To this end, springs were installed to reduce deliberately the stiffness of the apparatus. It is shown that the cyclic resistance of the sand...journal article 2020

García Martínez, M.F. (author), Marchi, M. (author), Tonni, L. (author), Gottardi, G. (author), Bezuijen, A. (author), Rosso, A. (author)The reliability of river embankments is essential for flood risk management. The Po River, which flows through the North of Italy, is safeguarded over half of its length by major river embankments. Performance assessment of such water-retaining structures has become a major concern following some significant flood events in the past. Among the...conference paper 2017

Bezuijen, A. (author)The earliest relation describing the risk of backward erosion piping, from Bligh in 1915, calculates an overall gradient over the dike. This gradient should be lower than a certain value depending on the material of the dike foundation for the dike to be safe. Later developments rationalize this number, showing the influence of grain size,...conference paper 2017

Vandenboer, K. (author), van Beek, V.M. (author), Bezuijen, A. (author)Backward erosion piping is an important failure mechanism for water-retaining structures, a phenomenon that results in the formation of shallow pipes at the interface of a sandy or silty foundation and a cohesive cover layer. Although the pipe depth reveals a lot of information on the backward erosion process, it has never been measured...conference paper 2017

Van Eekelen, S.J.M. (author), Bezuijen, A. (author), Van Tol, A.F. (author)Most analytical models for the design of piled embankments or load transfer platforms with geosynthetic reinforcement (GR) include two calculation steps. Step 1 calculates the arching behaviour in the fill and step 2 the load-deflection behaviour of the GR. A calculation method for step 2 based on the results of model tests has been published by...journal article 2013

A short outline of these projects is presented; the physical models chosen are described and discussed. The three studies use different physical models, depending on the research questions at the beginning...conference paper 2012

Van Beek, V.M. (author), Bezuijen, A. (author), Schenkeveld, F.M. (author)Piping is one of the possible failure mechanism for dams and levees with a sandy foundation. Water flowing through the foundation causes the onset of grain transport, due to which shallow pipes are formed at the interface of the sandy layer and an impermeable blanket layer. In the past, the mechanism has been investigated predominantly in...conference paper 2012

Van Eekelen, S.J.M. (author), Bezuijen, A. (author)In the Netherlands, several field measurements were carried out in piled embankments with a geosynthetic basal reinforcement (GR). This paper presents a series of nineteen 3D model experiments on piled embankments. Purpose of the tests was to find an explanation why the calculated GR strains exceed the GR strains measured in the field. This...conference paper 2012

Bezuijen, A. (author)This thesis reports on experimental research on compensation grouting in sand. It is investigated in model tests, how the shape of the grout bodies made during injection depends on the grout properties, the density of the sand and the way the tubes are installed. The shape of the grout body affects the necessary injection pressure and whether...doctoral thesis 2010
