Developing a hybrid risk assessment method for prioritizing the critical risks of temporary accommodation sites after destructive earthquakes (2022)
Journal Article
Dabiri, M., Sarvari, H., Chan, D. W., & Olawumi, T. O. (2022). Developing a hybrid risk assessment method for prioritizing the critical risks of temporary accommodation sites after destructive earthquakes. Habitat International, 128, Article 102667. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.habitatint.2022.102667

One of the most critical challenges in preventive planning and disaster management is the multitudinous uncertainties involved in decision-making. Previous studies showed the usefulness of intuitionistic fuzzy sets for considering uncertainties in de...

Joint Effect of Heavy Vehicles and Diminished Light Conditions on Paediatric Pedestrian Injuries in Backover Crashes: A UK Population-Based Study (2022)
Journal Article
Wiratama, B. S., Hsu, L.-M., Yeh, Y.-S., Chen, C.-C., Saleh, W., Liu, Y.-H., & Pai, C.-W. (2022). Joint Effect of Heavy Vehicles and Diminished Light Conditions on Paediatric Pedestrian Injuries in Backover Crashes: A UK Population-Based Study. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 19(18), Article 11689. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph191811689

Backover crashes cause considerable injuries especially among young children. Prior research on backover crashes has not assessed the joint effect of heavy vehicles and diminished light conditions on injuries. By analysing the United Kingdom STATS19...

Dynamic Behaviour of a Geotechnical Seismic Isolation System with Rubber-Sand Mixtures to Enhance Seismic Protection (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bernal-Sanchez, J., McDougall, J., Miranda-Manzanares, M., & Barreto, D. (2022, September). Dynamic Behaviour of a Geotechnical Seismic Isolation System with Rubber-Sand Mixtures to Enhance Seismic Protection. Presented at 3rd European Conference on Earthquake Engineering & Seismology, Bucharest, Romania

A Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) system is proposed in this study based on the use of Rubber-Soil mixtures (RSm) to facilitate the benefits of dynamic soil-foundation structure interaction. The latter is possible due to the lower stiffness and... Read More about Dynamic Behaviour of a Geotechnical Seismic Isolation System with Rubber-Sand Mixtures to Enhance Seismic Protection.

Narrative modelling: A comparison of high and low mass dwelling solutions in Afghanistan and Peru (2022)
Journal Article
Eltaweel, A., Kuchai, N., Albadra, D., Coley, D., Hart, J., Acevedo-De-los-Ríos, A., & Rondinel-Oviedo, D. R. (2023). Narrative modelling: A comparison of high and low mass dwelling solutions in Afghanistan and Peru. Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 44(1), 5-24. https://doi.org/10.1177/01436244221125720

Displaced populations are housed in various constructions, including lightweight predesigned structures. Theoretically, self-built heavyweight structures should ensure better temperatures and be closer to cultural norms. To examine this directly for...

Nonlinear response of RC columns subjected to equal energy-double impact loads (2022)
Journal Article
Tantrapongsaton, W., Hansapinyo, C., Limkatanyu, S., Zhang, H., & Vimonsatit, V. (2022). Nonlinear response of RC columns subjected to equal energy-double impact loads. Buildings, 12(9), Article 1420. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings12091420

Defining the damage and deflection from the impact by using only the impact energy could be misleading due to the effect of the impact momentum. In addition, reinforced concrete columns might be subjected to repeated impact loading. Hence, this study...
