Impacts of sea level rise on wave overtopping rates around the coast of England (2022)
Journal Article
Hames, D., Vidal, I., & Ben, G. (2023). Impacts of sea level rise on wave overtopping rates around the coast of England. Proceedings of the ICE - Maritime Engineering, 176(3), 110-117. https://doi.org/10.1680/jmaen.2021.020

There is unequivocal evidence that global sea levels are rising. It is therefore inevitable there will be socioeconomic impacts as a result of this. To aid mitigation, and the implementation of adaptation measures, it is vital the magnitude of the po...

Parameter-based seismic vulnerability assessment of Mexican historical buildings: Insights, suitability, and uncertainty treatment (2022)
Journal Article
Ramírez Eudave, R., Ferreira, T. M., & Vicente, R. (2022). Parameter-based seismic vulnerability assessment of Mexican historical buildings: Insights, suitability, and uncertainty treatment. International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 74, Article 102909. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijdrr.2022.102909

The seismic vulnerability assessment of large sets of constructions is meaningful for anticipating post-earthquake scenarios in the context of loss prevention and resilience. These activities must overcome several difficulties related to the size and...

European countries are affected by various levels of seismic hazard, including many areas with medium to high seismicity. Heavy damage over large areas has been observed in past earthquakes in these countries, particularly in masonry buildings locate...

The average cost is increasing for disposing and managing industrial wastes in the world. The utilization/reuse of industrial wastes in construction is vital in that context to reduce the cost of both industrial operations and construction contractor...

Effect of sea level rise on the overtopping of English coastal defences (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Hames, D., & Gouldby, B. (2021). Effect of sea level rise on the overtopping of English coastal defences. In FLOODrisk2020. https://doi.org/10.3311/FloodRisk2020.11.13

With a rise in sea levels, there is a consequent increase in the risk to coastal communities of the severity and magnitude of flood events. However these increased risks are not spatially consistent, and the type and nature of a coastal defence may...
