Integrity monitoring of cast in-situ piles using thermal approach: A field case study
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)A review of the literature shows that pile integrity is a significant concern in pile construction; in particular, determining the location and nature of anomalies along the depth of the piles using thermal integrity testing ... -
Water retention and characteristic curves representing tropical clay soils from Africa
( EDP Sciences , 2020 , Conference)Soil water retention curves (SWRCs) form an essential component of frameworks coupling the hydromechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils. The curves describe how suction changes with variables such as degree of saturation, ... -
Experimental and numerical investigation of the performance of self-sensing concrete sleepers
( SAGE Publications Ltd , 2020 , Article)Prestressed concrete sleepers with built-in fibre optic-based sensing systems have recently been developed to capture performance data within railway networks and to provide critical decision-support information to route ... -
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. ... -
Applicability of construction dewatering techniques for randomly-fractured rock
( ICE Publishing , 2024 , Article)Through analyzing a significant number of case histories, ranges of applications of dewatering techniques for randomly-fractured rock are proposed in terms of the rock mass permeability and the required drawdown. The ... -
Development of a new excavation technique for centrifuge testing in sand
( CRC Press/Balkema , 2021 , Book chapter)Even though shaft excavation is a key part of tunnelling projects in large cities, many uncertainties about their actual performance still exist in practice and only very few case studies have been reported in the literature. ... -
Pile Integrity Assessment through a Staged Data Interpretation Framework
( CRC Press , 2023 , Book chapter)Given the inherent nature of how deep cast-in-situ concrete foundations (piles and diaphragm walls) are constructed, evaluating their integrity is difficult. Several well-established methods for testing integrity have been ... -
Preface to the current edition
( CRC Press/Balkema , 2021 , Other)Technical Committee 204: "Underground Construction in Soft Ground" of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) was first established as TC28 in 1989 to provide a forum for interchange ... -
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 ... -
A systematic review of machine learning classification methodologies for modelling passenger mode choice
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article Review)Machine Learning (ML) approaches are increasingly being investigated as an alternative to Random Utility Models (RUMs) for modelling passenger mode choice. These approaches have the potential to provide valuable insights ... -
Evaluating prestress losses in a prestressed concrete girder railway bridge using distributed and discrete fibre optic sensors
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)This paper evaluates the data collected during a comprehensive monitoring campaign aimed at capturing the prestress loss behaviour of four 11.9 m prestressed concrete beams. These beams formed part of the superstructure ... -
Pile defect assessment using distributed temperature sensing: fundamental questions examined
( SAGE Publications Ltd , 2024 , Article)Thermal integrity testing has been successfully used to assess the quality of cast-in-place piles for the past decade. It employs temperature data measured during concrete curing to identify defects along the piles' length. ... -
Simulation of axial tensile well deformation during reservoir compaction in offshore unconsolidated methane hydrate-bearing formation
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Sand production encountered in the 2013 offshore field gas production tests at the Nankai Trough, Japan, could be attributed to well failure during reservoir compaction. In this study, well integrity under various reservoir ... -
Geosynthetic-reinforced soils above voids: Observation of soil and geosynthetic deformation mechanisms
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Understanding how a geosynthetic-reinforced soil deforms in response to the formation of an underlying void is crucial to provide appropriate designs of these systems. Centrifuge models employing a trapdoor to simulate the ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 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 ...
