Calibration and Validation of a Ballistic Pendulum for Blast Load Testing Structures
Research Report No RR4, August 2007
Abstract:
An experimental technique for testing structures and structural components subjected to blast loads has recently been commissioned, and consists of a ballistic pendulum contained inside a blast chamber. This report describes the first series of tests performed, which consists of metal beams subjected to transverse blast loads produced by application of explosives. The aim of the tests was to calibrate the new ballistic pendulum and to validate the results by comparison with known experimental and analytical solutions.

Soil Improvement with Industrial By-Products
Research Report No RR6, October 2007
Abstract:
The use of industrial by-products in the stabilisation of problematic soils offers many economical, ecological and social benefits to the practice of soil improvement. This report investigates the fundamental reaction mechanisms and geotechnical implications of the industrial by-products Flyash and Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag activated with hydrated lime applied to a variety of soils of natural characteristics.
Keywords:
Soil Improvement, Hydrated lime, Flyash, Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag, microstructure, SEM, mineralogy, XRD

Lime Slurry Pressure Injection in High-Plasticity Soils: A Case Study
Research Report No RR7, October 2007
Abstract:
Lime Slurry Pressure Injection (LSPI) is a soil improvement operation that has been employed by the railway industry for a number of decades to reduce maintenance expenditure of problematic subgrades. This report presents a detailed field investigation of a site of shrink/swell risk that has been injected with a lime and flyash slurry and investigates the many diverse technical processes associated with a favourable stabilisation response.
