Understanding pedestrian red light violation: Exploration of the impact of traffic engineering and traffic conditions (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Pellecuer, L., & Chusseau, A. (in press). Understanding pedestrian red light violation: Exploration of the impact of traffic engineering and traffic conditions.

The design of the geometry and traffic controls at signalised junctions is often focused on the level of service offered to drivers and rarely takes into consideration the level of service offered to pedestrians. This results in pedestrian adopting i... Read More about Understanding pedestrian red light violation: Exploration of the impact of traffic engineering and traffic conditions.

Buckling-restrained bracing system with ultra-high-performance fiber concrete (2023)
Journal Article
Ostovar, N., & Hejazi, F. (2023). Buckling-restrained bracing system with ultra-high-performance fiber concrete. Applied Sciences, 13(14), Article 8250. https://doi.org/10.3390/app13148250

Recently, buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) have been widely implemented as seismic load resistance systems in buildings to enhance their response against dynamic vibration. However, during catastrophic earthquakes, the steel core in BRB devices full... Read More about Buckling-restrained bracing system with ultra-high-performance fiber concrete.

Embedding citizens within airborne microplastic and microfibre research (2023)
Journal Article
Williams, B., De Vito, L., Margarida Sardo, A., Pringle, K., Hansen, M., Taylor, M., …Hayes, E. (2023). Embedding citizens within airborne microplastic and microfibre research. Cambridge Prisms: Plastics, 1(e11), 1-5. https://doi.org/10.1017/plc.2023.11

Microplastics are ubiquitous in our environment but their presence in air is less well understood. Homes are likely a key source of airborne microplastics and microfibres to the environment owing to the frequent use and storage of plastics and textil...
