Impact of water retainers in the strength, drying and setting of lime hemp concrete
(2012)Lime hemp concrete is a sustainable, carbon negative building material that can be used in certain applications lowering the environmental impact of construction. Hemp absorbs large quantities of mixing water (325% of its ... -
Implementing Eurocode 7 to achieve reliable geotechnical designs
(IOS Press, 2013)This paper examines how the different measures to achieve safe and reliable geotechnical designs are implemented in Eurocode 7. These measures include: the use of the concept of geotechnical categories of take account of ... -
Implications of COVID-19 for future travel behaviour in the rural periphery
(2022)Background: The design, management and operation of transport systems is a complex activity and this has only been exacerbated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Concern has been raised over the likelihood of ... -
The Importance of Dynamic Effects in Progressive Collapse
(2010)This paper presents a methodology to assess the extent of damage to a multi-storey structure following localised collapse. This is accomplished through the design of an algorithm to track progressive collapse in a structure ... -

Improved geotechnical behavior of an expansive soil amended with tire-derived aggregates having different gradations
(2020)This experimental laboratory study examines the potential use of tire-derived aggregate (TDA) products as an additive to alleviate the inferior geotechnical properties of a subgrade deposit of clay soil with high ... -
Improving internal erosion resistance of silty sand using additives
(2020)Seepage-induced erosion, leading to piping, is one of the most common causes of failure for earth dykes, levees and dams. Various soil improvement (mixing) technologies can be employed to improve the internal erosion ... -
Improving the Mathematical Model for Luminescent Down-Shifting Layers by Investigating their Loss Mechanisms
(2017)A Luminescent Down-Shifting (LDS) layer is an optical approach to improve the solar cell’s optical response by using luminescent species doped in a polymer matrix material to form a thin layer to be deposited on top of the ... -
The inactivation of phages MS2, ΦX174 and PR 772 using UV and solar photocatalysis
(2012)The photolytic and photocatalytic disinfection of three bacteriophages (MS2, ?X174, PR772) under both artificial UV irradiation and natural sunlight was studied. A large variation was seen in the relative responses of ... -
Individual Blade Pitch Control of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines for Load Mitigation and Power Regulation
(2020)This paper proposes a new strategy for individual blade pitch control to regulate power production while simultaneously alleviating structural loads on spar-type floating offshore wind turbines. Individual blade pitch ... -
Indoor Characterisation of a Photovoltaic/ Thermal Phase Change Material System
(2015)Photovoltaic/ thermal (PV/T) systems integrate photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies and have the added advantage of producing both electrical and thermal energy simultaneously. This study has been carried out to ... -
Influence of loading rate and specimen geometry on lime mortar strength
(2012)Compressive and flexural strength are important properties because they relate to the quality and durability of a material, and its suitability for a particular design or application. In addition, compressive strength is ...
