Arching in granular soils: Experimental observations of deformation mechanisms
( ICE Publishing , 2021 , Article)Understanding soil arching is an important component of predicting soil behaviour in cases such as the progressive displacements above sinkholes and when predicting loads on buried structures, where the expected deformation ... -
Arching in granular soils: Limit state equilibrium
( ICE Publishing , 2021 , Article)One of the most critical assumptions in the application of arching theory is an accurate estimate of the coefficient of lateral stress, K, used to relate vertical and horizontal stresses on the assumed failure plane. ... -
Comparison of site-specific and empirical correlations for drained residual shear strength
( ICE Publishing , 2020 , Article)The discusser has an interest in the topic of the paper (Hayden et al., 2018) on the ability of empirical correlations to predict the residual friction angle of samples from a specific site. In fact, he provided one of the ... -
Development of a three-dimensional staged volume loss tunnelling method in the centrifuge
( ICE Publishing , 2019 , Article)Conventional assessment of tunnelling-induced settlement focuses primarily on transverse profiles given the transitional nature of the longitudinal settlement profile. This approach thus relies on the commonly made assumption ... -
Development of high-strength lightweight non-autoclaved aerated concrete
( ICE Publishing , 2020 , Article)Six concrete mixes with different proportions of various pozzolanic materials were investigated for the development of high-strength non-autoclaved aerated concrete (NAAC). Fly ash and slag were used as partial cement ... -
Discrete particle translation gradient concept to expose strain localisation in sheared granular materials using 3D experimental kinematic measurements
( ICE Publishing , 2018 , Article)It is well known that the constitutive behaviour of granular materials is influenced by strain localisation into zones of intensive shearing, known as shear bands. The failure mode of specimens tested under axisymmetric ... -
Effect of calcium nitrate healing microcapsules on concrete strength and air permeability
( ICE Publishing , 2019 , Article)This study investigates the compressive and flexural strengths, flexural modulus and air permeability of concrete samples containing 0.75% by cement weight of modified calcium nitrate self-healing microcapsules. The ... -
Introducing data-centric engineering to instrumented infrastructure
( ICE Publishing , 2019 , Conference)A variety of methods exist in the structural health monitoring literature that aim to combine the observed data and predicted outputs from physics-based models (e.g. model updating and calibration). Typically implemented ... -
Monitoring of shaft excavations in clay
( ICE Publishing , 2019 , Conference)Field observations of infrastructure performance, during and following construction, are vital for efficient design of infrastructure in subsequent projects. Fibre optic sensing technology offers considerable benefits ... -
Properties of fibre-reinforced concrete made with discarded materials
( ICE Publishing , 2019 , Article)This research paper investigates the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of steel slag aggregates (SSA), gravel aggregates (GLA), natural gabbro aggregates (NGA), and the different fresh and hardened properties ... -
Real-time statistical modelling of data generated from self-sensing bridges
( ICE Publishing , 2018 , Article)Instrumentation of infrastructure is changing the way engineers design, construct, monitor and maintain structures such as roads, bridges and underground structures. Data gathered from these instruments have changed the ... -
The engineering legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 TM: Stadium 974- Reuse as driving force for sustainable stadium design
( ICE Publishing , 2024 , Article)Stadium 974, located on the east shore of the Doha Bay in the municipality of Ras Abu Aboud, is the first fully demountable, transportable, and reusable stadium of its kind. Modular systems in construction have a long track ... -
The engineering legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM: Al Bayt Stadium
( ICE Publishing , 2024 , Article)In contemporary architecture, textile membranes offer a wide range of possible structural applications, especially for facades and roofs with large spans and where the reduction of self-weight plays an important role for ... -
The engineering legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM: Al Janoub Stadium
( ICE Publishing , 2024 , Article)Al Janoub was the first new-build stadium designed for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM. This paper describes the journey of the engineering design of the 40,000 seat stadium, from the concept and detailed design development ... -
The engineering legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM: Al Thumama Stadium
( ICE Publishing , 2024 , Article)The structures of the Al Thumama Stadium, built for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, can be categorised into four main building components. The permanent bowl structure with lower and middle tiers is mainly cast-in-place ...
