Investigates Poisson’s ratio of standard and elasticised EPS under conditions relevant to integral bridge abutments.
Paper details and full-text access →2026 · IGS 13 ICG
Uses simple shear tests to examine EPS geofoam and structure-interface response under monotonic and cyclic loading.

Uses rod-stack compression models and image analysis to investigate deformation in soil containing rubber chips.
Paper details and full-text access →2026 · IGS 13 ICG
Investigates tensile behaviour after wet–dry cycling of geosynthetics embedded in construction and demolition waste.
Paper details and full-text access →2026 · IGS 13 ICG
Describes IGS Romania’s GeoSint workshop programme for introducing geosynthetics to university students.
Paper details and full-text access →2025
Numerical analysis examines earthquake response of a large underground reinforced-concrete water tank. Relevant to tank design limits, but its structural results do not validate modular plastic stormwater tanks.
Paper details and full-text access →2022
Accelerated UV exposure changes PET nonwoven tensile and thermal response. Demonstrates the need to assess exposure durability; test hours are not a direct conversion to years outdoors.
Paper details and full-text access →2012
University thesis models buried arch-shaped stormwater chambers and compares results with field loading data. Foot-region stress and soil support are important; arch-chamber results do not establish the capacity of modular crate tanks.

Develops methods for assessing wind uplift, protective cover, liner tension and strain. Applies to exposed geomembranes generally, including heavy liners; consult the subsequent corrections and extensions when using the equations.
