A disaggregate analysis of ‘excess’ car travel and its role in decarbonisation (2022)
Journal Article
Wadud, Z., Adeel, M., Anable, J., & Lucas, K. (2022). A disaggregate analysis of ‘excess’ car travel and its role in decarbonisation. Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 109, Article 103377. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2022.103377

This paper measures ‘excess’ car travel for its role in decarbonisation. On average, each English adult travels around 5,680 miles a year and emits 1,006 kg of CO2. However, the top 5% ‘excess’ car users travel 4.8 times and emit 5.7 times the nation... Read More about A disaggregate analysis of ‘excess’ car travel and its role in decarbonisation.

Journal Article
Tew, Y. L., Tan, M. L., Juneng, L., Chun, K., Hafiz bin Hassan, M., bin Osman, S., …Kabir, M. H. (2022). Rapid extreme tropical precipitation and flood inundation mapping (flood-tropical) framework: initial testing for the 2021-2022 Malaysia flood. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 11(7), 378

The 2021-2022 flood is one of the most serious flood events in Malaysian history, with approximately 70,000 victims evacuated daily, 54 killed and total losses were up to MYR 6.1 billion. From this devastating event, we realized the lack of extreme p...

Controlled experiments were conducted to investigate the surface damage caused by perpendicular and oblique impacts of bullets into sandstone and limestone targets. Individual bullets fired in conditions simulating modern rifles at typical combat dis... Read More about Surface damage from perpendicular and oblique bullet impacts in stone.

A low computational cost seismic analyses framework for 3D tunnel-form building structures (2022)
Journal Article
Mohsenian, V., Nikkhoo, A., Hajirasouliha, I., & Hejazi, F. (2022). A low computational cost seismic analyses framework for 3D tunnel-form building structures. Advances in Structural Engineering, 25(14), 2938-2952. https://doi.org/10.1177/13694332221113040

Numerical modeling of tunnel-form buildings entails the utilization of 3D finite element models consisting of large numbers of shell and fiber elements. Accordingly, the non-linear analysis of such models under seismic excitations is both time-consum...
