The challenges of applying cycling design guidance (2023)
Journal Article

Cycle infrastructure provides a means for everyday travel by a mode which is efficient, benign to the environment and confers health benefits on the user. The UK Department for Transport has a funding stream dedicated to providing grants to English h... Read More about The challenges of applying cycling design guidance.

Zebra crossings at T-intersections: Likelihood of unintended negative consequences for safety and walkability (2023)
Journal Article

Local governments in Melbourne are installing zebra crossings at prioritised T-intersections within activity centres and neighbourhoods. These treatments are well-intentioned and meant to increase certainty for road users, to create a more equitable...

Development of integrated semi-active adaptive vibration control system for bridges subjected to traffic loads (2023)
Journal Article

Nowadays, the fluid viscous damper is the most conventional energy dissipation system implemented in bridge structures to control the vibrations due to traffic loads. However, to effectively protect the bridge against frequent and severer vibrations,...

Strengthening of reinforced concrete slabs using macro and micro synthetic fibers (2023)
Journal Article

Concrete is brittle and prone to cracking, especially under tensile forces. The gradual development and propagation of cracks would subsequently lead to brittle failure. The use of fibers is effective in restricting the propagation of cracks and impr... Read More about Strengthening of reinforced concrete slabs using macro and micro synthetic fibers.

Health monitoring of ultra high fiber performance reinforced concrete communication tower using machine learning algorithms (2023)
Journal Article

Within the last decades, the needed for communication towers has accelerated with the requirements for effective communication, especially for radio, radar, and television. The complexity configuration of the tower and limit access to the structure b...

Development of hybrid performance-based optimization algorithm for structures equipped with vibration damper devices (2023)
Journal Article

Nowadays, various types of vibration damping systems are being implemented in different buildings to diminish seismic effects on structures. However, engineers are faced with the challenging task of developing an optimum design for structures utilizi...

Transfer functions of proteinoid microspheres (2023)
Journal Article

Proteinoids, or thermal proteins, are inorganic entities formed by heating amino acids to their melting point and commencing polymerisation to form polymeric chains. Typically, their diameters range from 1 μm to 10 μm. Some amino acids incorporated i... Read More about Transfer functions of proteinoid microspheres.

Optimization of the multi-level spring restrainer for bridges by hybrid particle swarm and gravitational search algorithm (2023)
Journal Article

This paper proposes a new multi-level spring restrainer (MLSR) that exhibits multi stiffness performance in different levels of movement of bridge superstructure to prevent unseating during applied dynamic loads. The analytical model of the proposed... Read More about Optimization of the multi-level spring restrainer for bridges by hybrid particle swarm and gravitational search algorithm.

Wet–dry cycles and microstructural characteristics of expansive subgrade treated with sustainable cementitious waste materials (2023)
Journal Article

This work presents an experimental study on the physico-mechanical and microstructural characteristics of stabilised soils and the effect of wetting and drying cycles on their durability as road subgrade materials. The durability of expansive road su... Read More about Wet–dry cycles and microstructural characteristics of expansive subgrade treated with sustainable cementitious waste materials.

Maintenance of action: A qualitative study of cycle commuting adoption resulting from a cycle loan scheme (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction: Cycling has multiple health benefits, but its share of commuting mode remains low in the UK. Little is known about barriers and determinants for new sustained recruits to commuting, and few studies have examined new recruits for a suffi...
