An Industrial Knowledge Collaborative CAD System for Scaffolding Structures (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
O'Neill, S., Zhang, H., & Pawelak, M. (2011, September). An Industrial Knowledge Collaborative CAD System for Scaffolding Structures. Presented at Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing

Scaffolds are a form of temporary structure widely used throughout the construction industry for various purposes. Some common uses are to provide access, for storage of materials or as temporary support. The design of such structures is governed by...

Increasing Confidence in Mass Discharge Estimates Using Geostatistical Methods (2011)
Journal Article
Cai, Z., Wilson, R. D., Cardiff, M. A., & Kitanidis, P. K. (2011). Increasing Confidence in Mass Discharge Estimates Using Geostatistical Methods. Groundwater, 49(2), 197-208. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1745-6584.2010.00709.x

Mass discharge is one metric rapidly gaining acceptance for assessing the performance of in situ groundwater remediation systems. Multilevel sampling transects provide the data necessary to make such estimates, often using the Thiessen Polygon method...

Exploring the effects of stress history on the drained and undrained cyclic behaviour of granular materials. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barreto, D. (2011, January). Exploring the effects of stress history on the drained and undrained cyclic behaviour of granular materials. Paper presented at 5th International Conference on Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering (5-ICEGE)

This paper presents the results of 3D DEM simulations of granular materials subject to cyclic loading. While both the drained and undrained conditions are considered, the effects of depositional history and consolidation stress history on the stress-...

Settlement-The Short and the Long of it (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McDougall, J. (2008, March). Settlement-The Short and the Long of it. Presented at International Symposium on Waste Mechanics

Total settlement in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills can be considerable, from 25% to 50% of original fill thickness (Bjarngard and Edgers, 1990). Some occurs very quickly, i.e. during the filling phase (or short term), but there remains a signi... Read More about Settlement-The Short and the Long of it.
