A micro-scale (DEM) investigation on driven pile cycle behaviour Mar 1, 2014 - Jan 31, 2016
Structures such as bridges or wind turbines develop loads that have to be transmitted to the ground.
The loads can be static (self-weight) or dynamic (wind, wave or traffic loads) and may be significantly
large. Long piles are normally used to carr... Read More about A micro-scale (DEM) investigation on driven pile cycle behaviour.

Development of a Columbia-UK research co-operation programme on infrastructure & climate change Apr 1, 2014 - Aug 1, 2015
This is a travel grant to develop research on unsaturated soil behaviour and cyclic behaviour of soils and their relations with climate changes effects on civil engineering infrastructure. It aims to develop (long-term) a new Colombia-UK research net... Read More about Development of a Columbia-UK research co-operation programme on infrastructure & climate change.

Geotechnical analysis of recycled materials for use in a sports environment May 1, 2015 - Dec 31, 2015
The project will investigate the effectiveness of adding crumbed rubber to the site soil as a means of improving soil resilience to wheel loads, resisting erosion and hence reducing maintenance burden. The project will take the form of geotechnical... Read More about Geotechnical analysis of recycled materials for use in a sports environment.
