Geotech Expert Tackles Soil Behaviour
Professor Olivier Buzzi's research interests are in rock mechanics, rock joints, expansive soils and unsaturated soil mechanics.
Olivier was a Chief Investigator with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Geotechnical Science Engineering (CGSE), and has received several large research grants to investigate areas including strategies to extinguish underground coal fires and to extract geothermal energy; microstructure-based computational homogenisation of geomaterials; and barriers for cost-effective rock fall hazard mitigation.
Olivier graduated from the Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan, one of the most prestigious and competitive public institutions of higher education and research in France. After ranking second nationally at the French National Agrégation of Civil Engineering in 2000, he successfully completed a Master on rock joints (in 2001) and PhD on the hydromechanical behaviour of contacts between geomaterials in the context of nuclear waste storage (completed in 2004).
Moving to Australia from his home in France in 2005 to take up the position of a post-doctoral researcher was the first step in Dr Olivier Buzzi's career at the University of Newcastle. He began lecturing at the University in 2007, became a senior lecturer in 2009, an Associate Professor in 2012, and has since cemented his position with the CGSE.
Olivier often complements his experimental research by numerical investigations in order to deepen the understanding of the phenomena under study. Recently, he has focused his attention on the development of sensors and sophisticated experimental methods, which allow investigations on fundamental aspects of soil behaviour. One recent publication presents a new coating used to track how much irregular lumps of soils shrink as they dry. This product has the potential to solve many headaches for practitioners, as soil shrinkage behaviour often needs to be determined for soil characterization.
Another of Olivier's co-authored 2014 papers describes the results of a study into the performance of high-strength rock fall meshes, particularly focusing on the effect of the size of the block, often referred to as the "bullet effect". The results indicated that as blocks decrease in size, so does the energy required to perforate the mesh.
Olivier is an Editorial Board member Computers and Geotechnics and Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, two highly recognised journals of his field.

Mostly developed within agriculture-related disciplines, field techniques for the identification of soil retention behaviour have been so far employed in the geotechnical context to monitor shallow landslides and seasonal volume changes beneath shallow foundations, within the most superficial ground strata. In this paper, a novel installation technique is presented, discussed and assessed, which allows extension of the use of commercially available low-cost and low-maintenance instruments to characterise deep soil layers. Multi-depth installations have been successfully carried out using two different sensor types to measure the soil suction and water content up to 7 m from the soil surface. Preliminary laboratory investigations were also shown to provide a reasonable benchmark to the field data. The results of this study offer a convenient starting point to accommodate important geotechnical works such as river and road embankments in the traditional monitoring of unsaturated soil variables.

This study aims at providing quality experimental data on the effects of temperature on tensile strength and small strain shear stiffness of two Australian mudstones. The objective is to provide multiscale data in view of developing a numerical model that can capture and simulate the complex multiphysics of underground coal fire propagation. Two mudstones were collected in the Hunter Valley, close to a known underground coal fire, referred to as ¿Burning Mountain.¿ The rock specimens were heated to a range of temperatures (maximum of 900¿°C) for 24¿h, and the materials were comprehensively characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analyses, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. In addition, mercury intrusion porosimetry was used in order to track changes in pore size distribution with temperature. Investigations at microscale were complemented by testing at the macroscale. In particular, the paper focuses on the evolution of the tensile strength and small strain shear stiffness as the materials are subjected to heating treatment. Results show that both parameters evolve in a non-monotonic manner with temperature. The observed mechanical responses are fully explained and corroborated by microstructural observations.

This paper presents a comprehensive experimental investigation on time-dependent swelling behaviour at both macroscale and microscale of a natural Australian expansive soil in compacted state. A number of one-dimensional swelling tests under different vertical pressures, different initial void ratios and initial water contents were performed. The characterization at macroscale was complemented by extensive microstructural investigations through mercury intrusion porosimetry and scanning electron microscope observation on both as-compacted and swollen specimens. The results were discussed at two different scales within a framework of double-porosity, which was finalized by linking the macrostructural¿microstructural strains ratio with secondary swelling/compression coefficients. The multi-scale correlation appears to be largely independent of the specimen initial conditions. The study showed that the secondary swelling and primary swelling are governed by the same factors and that secondary swelling takes place mainly in macropores, of which the change magnitude depends on the level of confinement applied. The microstructural investigations show that swelling is accompanied by significant microfabric changes.

The objective of this study is to improve the understanding of load transfer mechanism of Geogrid-Reinforced Pile-Supported Embankments (GRPS) via a new 3D analytical approach and comprehensive field tests. A full-scale embankment was built over a silty clay of medium compressibility as a part of the Liuzhou-to-Nanning High-speed Railway (LNHR) in China. Six sections of the embankment have been heavily instrumented producing comprehensive data of high quality. Field measurements evidence the existence of soil arching, membrane contribution and ground reaction, phenomena that are all contributing to load transfer mechanism. The new 3D analytical arching model accounts for a triangular arrangement of piles and, unlike existing methods, accounts for all relevant components of load transfer mechanisms. In addition, two key parameters were introduced in the model: an elastoplastic state parameter of soil arching (a) and a coefficient of equivalent uniform stress (ß). The former was used to satisfy the load equilibrium in case of partial arching while the latter was adopted to allow possible nonuniform vertical stress acting on the ground surface. The so-called ground reaction method was incorporated in an innovative manner to take into account the reactive support of the subsoil beneath geogrid-reinforced layer when estimating the tension development in the geogrid. Finally, the performance of the proposed model was assessed against several existing models and field measurements. Results showed that the new model presented herein outperforms existing models and satisfactorily predicts both the pile efficiency and tension development within the geogrid.

This study falls in the context of underground coal fires where burning coal can elevate the temperature of a rock mass in excess of 1000°. The objective of the research is to experimentally characterize the change in mechanical behaviour, mineralogy and microstructural texture of two sedimentary rocks when subjected to temperatures up to 1200¿°C for 24¿h. Specimens of local sandstone and mudstone were comprehensively characterized by X-ray diffraction and thermal-gravimetric analysis. These analyses were complemented by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy on polished thin sections. In addition, pore size distributions of these heated rocks were inferred by means of mercury intrusion porosimetry. These results were extended to an estimation of the intrinsic permeability using the Katz¿Thompson model. Investigations at micro scale were followed by mechanical testing (both unconfined and confined compression tests) on cylindrical specimens of heated rocks. Results show that the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of both rock types tends to increase when the temperatures increases up to 900¿°C, beyond which the UCS tends to slightly decrease. As for the permeability, a clear increase in intrinsic permeability was observed for both rocks. The macroscopic behaviour was found to be fully consistent with the changes observed at micro scale.

In rockfall science, the bullet effect refers to the perforation of a rockfall mesh by a small block traveling at high speed. To date, there is still no comprehensive experimental data set investigating the underlying mechanisms of such effect. The bullet effect illustrates the fact that the capacity of a rockfall mesh depends on the size and speed of the impacting block. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the effect of block size and mesh geometry (aperture and wire diameter) on the mesh performance. The results clearly show that the amount of energy required to perforate the mesh drops as the blocks get smaller. They also suggest that the mesh performance reaches a maximum and reduces to zero when the mesh cannot sustain the static load imposed by very large blocks. The outcome of the first series validates an analytical model for mesh perforation, making it the first simple model capturing the bullet effect. A second series of tests focused on the effect of mesh geometry and it was found that decreasing the mesh aperture by 19¿% improves the performance by 50¿% while only an extra 30¿% could be gained by increasing the wire diameter by 33¿%. The outcomes of the second series were used to discuss and redefine a dimensionless geometrical parameter G* and to validate a simple power type equation relating the mesh characteristics and the mesh performance.

The new method has been validated against two benchmark methods, namely, the wax and plastic bag methods, by conducting swelling and shrinkage tests on intact Maryland clay. The results show that the new method yields similar values of volume but with much reduced data scattering. The HSP method is also far easier to use than the other two methods. Finally, the stiffness of the coating has been measured and its restraining effect has been found to be negligible. Some of the benefits of using the HSP method are: (1) limited fluid retention by the specimen postimmersion for volume measurement, (2) reduced water-intake rate with elimination of cracking upon swelling caused by high-suction gradients, (3) absence of the restraining effect on specimens upon swelling, and (4) accurate determination of the swelling and shrinkage curves with only one specimen per curve.

This device, which relies on development of tension in an enclosed water body, permits direct measurement of negative water potential. Many tensiometers have been built since 1993, all being based on the same principle although the design may differ slightly from the original. In particular, the common characteristic is a very small water reservoir that is believed to be the location of bubble nucleation, a phenomenon referred to as cavitation that impedes the sensor from functioning properly. Many have studied cavitation and different explanations or cavitation mechanisms have been proposed. However, all the considerations put forward were derived without being able to capture what happened inside the water reservoir at cavitation. This is now achieved with the new tensiometer specifically designed to "see" inside the water reservoir during suction measurement. For the first time, cavitation has been captured via high-speed photography and the mechanisms of cavitation can be explained using physical evidence. The first outcome is that it is possible for a high-capacity tensiometer to function to its full range with a large water reservoir. Then, the analysis of high-speed photographs reveals that the bubbles triggering cavitation are nucleated in the ceramic and make their way to the water reservoir. Cavitation occurs only when the air phase reaches the water reservoir.

[more] From a consideration of the concepts of geological weathering and structure, it can be expected that rockfall hazards should be characteristically different in different geological environments. This paper tests this idea by looking at the geometric characteristics of rock fragments formed on natural slopes in four different geological environments in Eastern Australia, where rockfall phenomena are often characterised by rolling of pre-detached debris. By measuring the three principle dimensions and making a systematic assessment of the shape characteristics of samples of rock debris in significant geological environments, it is found that the distributions of size and shape for the surface debris are statistically different. From the results, it is shown that the size and shape of debris is directly controlled by the rock type, its weathering characteristics and the structure of the parent rock mass. The severity of rockfall hazards is shown to be relatively lower in areas of Tertiary basalt, as the size of rolling fragments is limited by closely spaced fracturing inherited from its formation and the tendency to deteriorate further as it weathers deeply and rapidly. It is also lower in areas of Palaeozoic volcanics, since these tend to produce relatively angular fragments with higher proportions of fragments that are inherently more resistant to rolling. By contrast, thickly bedded sandstones form larger blocks with a larger proportion of shapes that are more prone to rolling. The size distribution of fragments is shown to be well approximated by a log-normal statistical distribution, and using the data provided in this study, it is possible to generate the size and shape data needed to undertake a stochastic assessment of rockfall trajectories in different geological environments. © 2013.

[more] Hydromechanical compression tests have been performed on rock-mortar interfaces representing the contact between a host rock and a concrete bulkhead within an underground nuclear waste repository. The rock used in the tests is a Toarcian argillite. Most published studies concerning rock-concrete interfaces involve concrete-concrete contacts in which rock replicas are used instead of real rock samples. As a result, the effect of rock features, such as bedding planes and changes of the rock interface zone, on the hydromechanical behaviour of the interface cannot be investigated. The tests discussed in this paper demonstrate that the mechanical response is not affected when changing the parameters of the samples even not mismatching both walls. On the contrary, an initial monitored lateral displacement modifies the hydromechanical behaviour by limiting the interface ability to be hydraulically closed. The latter ability has been quantified by a simple evolution law and the difference of behaviour between the two kinds of samples has been confirmed. The analysis led to determine the hydraulic aperture shows that the values obtained are much lower to the classical values available in the literature. Finally, the application of the experimental results to the confinement by a bulkhead showed the localization of the flow within the interface. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Identical joint surfaces were prepared using a developed moulding method with special mortar and shear tests were performed on these samples under both static and cyclic loading conditions. Different levels of shear displacement were applied on the samples to study joint behaviour before and during considerable relative shear displacement. It was found that the shear strength of joints is related to rate of displacement (shearing velocity), number of loading cycles and stress amplitude. Finally, based on the experimental results, mathematical models were developed for evaluation of shear strength in cyclic loading conditions. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

For safe and efficient mining operations to occur the management of waste materials is required, which often takes the form of geotechnical structures constructed from this waste. The safe use of these structures requires a number of resources, one of these being sufficient information about the waste material properties. For example, the drying process of a tailings dam is predicted with the water retention and permeability of the tailings. When considering coal tailings, which are comprised of coal and mineral soil particles (typically), the presence of coal may be problematic. The localised hydrophobicity of coal molecules may have a unique effect on water permeability and retention; this is relevant to geotechnical analysis where hydrophilic behaviour is assumed. To explore the possible effect of localised hydrophobicity, mine tailings were obtained from a coal mine of the Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia, and the coal fraction was separated via density separation. After this, three materials were available: unchanged mine tailings and a coal and mineral fraction of tailings. The goal was to characterise the three materials and allow deeper insight on what effect the addition of coal has on retention and hydraulic properties. Characterization involved measuring particle size distribution, pore size distribution, soil water retention curve, and saturated water permeability. The results show that there are distinct differences in the water retention and permeability properties of each material, and a number of these differences could be explained by the differing particle/pore sizes observed in each material. However, the coal containing materials desaturated at low suctions (< 10 kPa) compared to the mineral fraction, which could not be explained by particle/pore size differences and points towards localised hydrophobicity as a possible cause.

All rights reserved. This experimental study investigates the compaction behavior of Maryland clay with different pore water salinity. Maryland clay powder was prepared with deionized water and CalCl2 solutions prepared at two concentrations (0.1 M/L Ca2+ and 1.0 M/L Ca2+) and then statically compacted in an oedometer cell. The compaction tests were complemented by microstructural characterization using mercury intrusion porosimetry. The effect of pore water salinity on the compaction behavior of the ML clay is quantified at both micro and macro scales. Results show that the compression index from 1D compression tests and the pore size distribution inferred by MIP are highly dependent on both the water content and pore water salinity. The compression index increases with water content but is not uniquely correlated with pore water salinity at a given water content. At low water contents, pore water salinity mainly affects the macro pores, while it leads to a significant influence on the micro pores when increasing water content.

Rockfall can cause loss of lives and significant damage to infrastructure and requires adequately designed protection structures to reduce the risk to an acceptable level. In Australia, rockfall draperies are more and more used as a passive protection structure although some research is still required to fully characterize the performance of draperies. Full-scale experimentation on rockfall drapery systems is very expensive and time consuming so that numerical methods are a useful and more economical alternative in order to better understand the behaviour of such systems. This paper presents a realistic 3D model of a chain-link drapery system developed with the commercially available finite element package of ABAQUS. The dynamic response of the system was simulated by incorporating the elastoplastic constitutive model in the explicit procedure of the solution. The developed model was calibrated by comparing the numerical results with the results of the laboratory-scale experiments. Preliminary results showed that the calibrated model was capable of predicting the system response with reasonable accuracy. In future, the model will be used in order to conduct parametric studies on different aspects of rockfall drapery design including slope material properties, number and spacing of anchors, impact energy, slope inclination, height of drapery system and block size.

Reliable prediction of shear strength for engineering scale in-situ discontinuities is still problematic. There is currently no consensus or a satisfactory method to estimate shear strength, account for surface variability and manage the effects of the recognised ¿scale effect¿ phenomenon. Shear behaviour of a discontinuity rock mass greatly depends upon the rock joint roughness, which is generally concealed within the rock mass. As such, the limited amount of accessible surface information complicates even further the exercise of shear strength prediction. Often, small size specimens (e.g. rock core) are recovered to conduct experimental tests and predictions can be made from analysing traces. In this paper, three different shear strength prediction approaches were followed and their relative performances were compared. The results reveal that the prediction of shear strength from recovered sub samples can be significantly variable. The application of Barton¿s empirical model to four selected traces, produced a large scattering of results, with the prediction highly dependent on the trace used. Conversely, the application of Casagrande and co-workers¿ stochastic approach on the same traces, produced the least scatter and provides statistical data to quantify variability and uncertainty.

A large par... [more] The Hunter Expressway is a $1.7 billion road project in the Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia to provide a new east-west connection between Newcastle and the Lower Hunter. A large part of the materials encountered on site are expansive tuffaceous soils that would normally be discarded. However, because of increasing financial, environmental and space constraints, it is required to make use of these swelling materials in embankments. These materials include highly weathered claystone containing about 20% in mass of smectite. The highly plastic claystone is present in layers alternating with layers of nonplastic coal. Hence, when excavating the material, the claystone is mixed with the coal and it becomes relevant to consider the swelling potential of the mixture instead of that of the claystone alone. Some typical coal and claystone materials used in embankments were characterized by compaction curves and Atterburg limits. Then, a series of swelling tests were conducted on compacted specimens, of mixtures of coal and claystone, prepared in the laboratory with comparable initial conditions (suction and void ratio) so that any change in swelling potential could be solely attributed to the coal content. The results show that the addition of the coal has an effect in reducing the swelling potential of the claystone beyond a simple dilution effect. Some type of swell inhibition is implied. The addition of coal also significantly reduces the time taken for final swell strain to be reached. © 2014 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

As a result of land use and climatic changes this trend is expected to continue, with areas at high risk of dryland salinity predicted to more than double over the next 40 years. This presents a significant risk to road asset managers as concentration of salts within road pavements has been shown to cause damage to pavements and surfacings. The present study explores the impact of dryland salinity on road pavements by assessing the effect of naturally occurring salts on the tensile and shear strength of a sealed granular pavement. Tensile and shear strength testing was conducted on a granular pavement material at a range of salt concentrations. This testing confirmed that the presence of natural salts can have a positive effect on bitumen-sealed granular pavements in contrast to the negative impact salt crystallisation can have on bitumen surfacings. While in solution, salts were found to have a very small positive effect on tensile and shear strength, which is likely related to clay chemistry interactions. Upon crystallisation, salts were observed to form cubic bonds within the pores of the granular material which led to a significant increase in tensile strength. However, at interface between the surfacing and the granular material whisker-shaped crystals were observed to grow from the bitumen. The results suggest that increases in dryland salinity, while presenting a risk to the performance of road surfacings, may actually increase the tensile and shear strength of road pavement materials.

The interpretation of the cyclic hydro mechanical compression tests shows an apparent residual intrinsic transmissivity of Tr = 3 × 10-15 m3, the evolution of the intrinsic transmissivity versus the normal stress is anisotropic. The comparison of the fracture void spaces with hydro mechanical factors show that: the back computed method to obtain the void spaces is verified for low normal stress values, and the anisotropy of the outflow is explained by the modeled evolution of the void spaces with the normal stress.
