Development of low carbon concrete and prospective of geopolymer concrete using lightweight coarse aggregate and cement replacement materials (2024)
Journal Article
Nukah, P. D., Abbey, S. J., Booth, C. A., & Oti, J. (2024). Development of low carbon concrete and prospective of geopolymer concrete using lightweight coarse aggregate and cement replacement materials. Construction and Building Materials, 428, Article 136295. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2024.136295

The use of Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBS) as an alternative cement replacement material in combination with conventional coarse aggregate have been successful in the production of near green concrete. Undoubtedly, GGBS has exhibited go... Read More about Development of low carbon concrete and prospective of geopolymer concrete using lightweight coarse aggregate and cement replacement materials.

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...
