Why did UK governments cut road building in the 1990s and expand it after 2010? (2019)
Journal Article

Why did a Conservative UK government decide to cut back road building during a time of austerity in the 1990s, whereas a Conservative-led Coalition government decided to substantially increase road building during a time of austerity after 2010? This... Read More about Why did UK governments cut road building in the 1990s and expand it after 2010?.

Effect of organic matter on swell and undrained shear strength of treated soils (2019)
Journal Article

This paper presents a laboratory and statistical study on swell and undrained shear strength of cemented organic clays blended with eco-friendly (by-product) cementitious materials such as ground granulated blast slag (GGBS) and cement kiln dust (CKD...

The role of local perched aquifers in regional groundwater recharge in semi-arid environments: Evidence from the Cuvelai-Etosha Basin, Namibia (2019)
Journal Article

The influence of local perched aquifers on groundwater recharge in semi-arid areas at a regional scale remains inadequately studied, especially in southern Africa where data scarcity limits the understanding of recharge and groundwater flow processes...

Inferring pyroclastic density current flow conditions using syn-depositional sedimentary structures (2019)
Journal Article

The processes occurring in the basal region of concentrated pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) influence the mobility, runout distance, and damage potential of a current, but directly observing these processes is extremely difficult. Instead, we mus... Read More about Inferring pyroclastic density current flow conditions using syn-depositional sedimentary structures.

Remote sensing for drought monitoring & impact assessment: Progress, past challenges and future opportunities (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Elsevier Inc. Drought is a common hydrometeorological phenomenon and a pervasive global hazard. As our climate changes, it is likely that drought events will become more intense and frequent. Effective drought monitoring is therefore critical,... Read More about Remote sensing for drought monitoring & impact assessment: Progress, past challenges and future opportunities.

When urban environments meet pedestrian’s thoughts: implications for pedestrian affect (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This UK-based study explores the ways in which urban environments and pedestrians’ thoughts interact. Such interactions have implications for hedonic well-being and affect. Analy... Read More about When urban environments meet pedestrian’s thoughts: implications for pedestrian affect.

Strain evolution of brick masonry under cyclic compressive loading (2019)
Journal Article

Long-term fatigue tests in compression were performed on low-strength brick masonry prisms under laboratory conditions at different maximum stress levels. The maximum and minimum total longitudinal deformations with the loading cycles were recorded.... Read More about Strain evolution of brick masonry under cyclic compressive loading.

Vibration-based Bayesian model updating of civil engineering structures applying Gaussian process metamodel (2019)
Journal Article

Structural health monitoring plays a significant role in providing information regarding the performance of structures throughout their life spans. However, information that is directly extracted from monitored data is usually susceptible to uncertai...

Embedding social inclusiveness and appropriateness in engineering assessment of green infrastructure to enhance urban resilience (2019)
Journal Article

Urban resilience emerges not only from ‘what’ is done in relation to critical infrastructure systems, but in the ‘how’ of their conception, co-creation and integration into complex socio-ecological-technical systems. For green infrastructure, where o... Read More about Embedding social inclusiveness and appropriateness in engineering assessment of green infrastructure to enhance urban resilience.

Integrating structure-from-motion photogrammetry into rock weathering field methodologies (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Despite recent rapid advances in the field of structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry, the use of high-resolution data to investigate small-scale processes is a relatively underdeveloped field. In particular, rock... Read More about Integrating structure-from-motion photogrammetry into rock weathering field methodologies.
