Numerical modelling of rainfall influence on the susceptibility of a slope to sliding under induced compression (2023)
Journal Article
Eyo, E., & Abbey, S. (2023). Numerical modelling of rainfall influence on the susceptibility of a slope to sliding under induced compression. Applied Sciences, 13(23), Article 12692. https://doi.org/10.3390/app132312692

This study examines the pore water pressure responses and stability of an unsaturated–saturated consolidating slope under the influence of rainfall infiltration. Analysis of slope behaviour was carried out with the results obtained for soils having s...

A phenomenological inquiry of building and living in European Earthship homes (2023)
Journal Article
Booth, C. A., Rasheed, S., Mahamdau, A., Horry, R., Abbey, S., Manu, P., …Prabhakaran, A. (in press). A phenomenological inquiry of building and living in European Earthship homes. Infrastructure Asset Management, https://doi.org/10.1680/jinam.23.00028

Earthships remain a relatively under explored type of sustainable/alternative home. This is the first study to investigate the personal experiences of constructing and living in European Earthship-homes. The aim of this study is to reveal insights in...

Towards the European Commission's road safety goal of 'Vision Zero': Intended routes of the SOTERIA journey (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Booth, C. A., Georgakis, P., Magoutas, B., Sudhakaran, G. M., Abbey, S. J., Prabhakaran, A., …Digkas, A. (in press). Towards the European Commission's road safety goal of 'Vision Zero': Intended routes of the SOTERIA journey.

The emergence of complex urban mobility environments, where unknown interactions between different types of vulnerable road users (VRUs) and between VRUs and motorised vehicles, poses the need for a clear understanding of user behaviours, fair and op...

Wet–dry cycles and microstructural characteristics of expansive subgrade treated with sustainable cementitious waste materials (2023)
Journal Article
Abbey, S. J., Amakye, S. Y., Eyo, E. U., Booth, C. A., & Jeremiah, J. J. (2023). Wet–dry cycles and microstructural characteristics of expansive subgrade treated with sustainable cementitious waste materials. Materials, 16(8), 3124. https://doi.org/10.3390/ma16083124

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.

Development of a Lytag-silica fume based lightweight concrete and corresponding design equation for pure bending (2023)
Journal Article
Abbey, S. J., Ghassan, N., Booth, C. A., & Nukah, P. D. (in press). Development of a Lytag-silica fume based lightweight concrete and corresponding design equation for pure bending. Case Studies in Construction Materials,

This study presents a novel Lytag-silica fume concrete (LSFC) for structural and other construction applications. The evaluation of compressive strength development and stress strain relationships of the LSFC light weight was carried out to determine...
