GeoSure Compressible Deposits

The GeoSure data sets and reports from the British Geological Survey provide information about potential ground movement or subsidence in a helpful and user-friendly format. The reports can help...

GeoSure compressible deposits version 8

This dataset provides an assessment of the potential for a geological deposit to compress under an applied load, a characteristic usually of superficial deposits such as peat or alluvium. Some...

Compressible ground (5km Hex-Grid) version 7

The 5km Hex GS Compressible Ground dataset shows a generalised view of the GeoSure Compressible Ground v7 dataset to a hexagonal grid resolution of 64.95km coverage area (side length of 5km). This...

Experimental direct shear friction dataset for synthetic clay gouges (NERC grant NE/L002469/1)

Friction coefficient and frictional stability (rate & state parameter) data for triaxially compressed direct shear experiments on kaolinite-rich china clay and Mg-montmorillonite fault gouges...

Ground Movements: Shrink/Swell Clays Project

The main aim of the project is to determine the shrinkage and swelling properties of UK clays and mudrocks and to investigate the relationships between them. Thus leading to a better understanding...

Engineering geology of tropical red clay soils

Dataset comprises the results of a study into the engineering geological characteristics of tropical red clay soils, funded by the Overseas Development Administration. The geotechnical properties...

Unconfined compressive strength data for rocks from TilTil and ElTeniente mines, Chile

Unconfined compressive strength data for rocks from TilTil and ElTeniente mines in Chile, plus basic index tests (porosity, density) and Elastic wave velocity for selected samples. Laboratory data...

Multiscale models for MCFC, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and CO2 compression

Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) data of tests conducted on salt samples from the Northwich Halite Member

The dataset contains unconfined compressive strength data of salt samples collected from the Northwich Halite Member at the Winsford Mine in Cheshire, UK. Each sample was unconfined and deformed...

Mg and Li isotope data on laboratory clay minerals and metadata (NERC grant NE/M001865/1)

Clay minerals (smectites) were synthesised experimentally to determine isotope fractionation factors (Li and Mg). The data are provided here. Interpretation is ongoing.

Experimental friction dataset for heterogeneous and homogeneous mixed quartz-clay fault gouge layers (NERC Grant NE/P002943/1)

The data are from a suite of friction experiments performed on simulated fault gouges comprised of clay-quartz mixtures, sheared in a direct-shear arrangement. Some experiments were performed on...

Elemental and isotopic data for timed exchange experiments between clay, mineral water and seawater

This dataset presents both isotopic and elemental data for a series of cation exchange experiments between mineral water, montmorillonite clay and seawater. These were a series of in-house...
