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. ... -
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 ... -
Short-term and long-term behavior of RC beams strengthened by galvanized steel mesh laminate
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Steel reinforced polymers (SRP) are useful in a wide range of applications, including strengthening of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures, due to their numerous advantages like high strength, low maintenance, ... -
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 ... -
Back-analysis of sprayed concrete lined (SCL) tunnel junctions at Liverpool Street Crossrail station
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Sprayed concrete linings (SCL) offer a versatile method of tunnel construction, particularly in regard to forming junctions since the lining acts as a shell structure which can redistribute the stresses around the opening ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Measurement of pile uplift forces due to soil heave in expansive clays
( Canadian Science Publishing , 2022 , Article)Piled foundations are widely used to limit the movement of foundations in expansive clays. These piles are subjected to large uplift forces as the clay swells (and downdrag forces when it shrinks). The appropriate method ... -
Water retention and characteristic curves representing tropical clay soils from Africa
( EDP Sciences , 2020 , Conference Paper)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, ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 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 ... -
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 ... -
Raman Spectroscopic and Microbial Study of Biofilms Hosted Gypsum Deposits in the Hypersaline Wetlands: Astrobiological Perspective
( Mary Ann Liebert Inc. , 2023 , Article)Gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) has been identified at the surface of Mars, by both orbiters and rovers. Because gypsum mostly forms in the presence of liquid water as an essential element for sustaining microbial life and has a low ... -
Integrated approach for closure correction of mercury injection capillary pressure measurements
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Closure correction is a key requirement for a reliable petrophysical evaluation using mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP). The available correction methods rely on identifying deflection points on capillary pressure ... -
Novel methodology to couple decline curve analysis with CFD reservoir simulations for complex shale gas reservoirs
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2024 , Article)Shale reservoirs are highly complex and are difficult to study using conventional reservoir simulation tools. This study introduces a novel methodology for estimating production from complex shale gas reservoirs by coupling ... -
CFD estimation of gas production in tight carbonates using single and dual-porosity models
