Mechanics of MEXE method for masonry arch bridge assessment (2010)
Journal Article
Wang, J., & Melbourne, C. (2010). Mechanics of MEXE method for masonry arch bridge assessment. Proceedings of the ICE - Engineering and Computational Mechanics, 163(3), 187-202. https://doi.org/10.1680/eacm.2010.163.3.187

The assessment of the load-carrying capacity of a masonry arch bridge has traditionally been undertaken using the Military Engineering Experimental Establishment (MEXE) method (or a modified version of this), which has its roots in idealised elastic...

Use of remediated soil materials for sustainable plant growth (2010)
Journal Article
Rodriguez, O., Sellers, G., Sinnett, D., Moffat, A. J., & Hutchings, T. R. (2010). Use of remediated soil materials for sustainable plant growth. Land Contamination and Reclamation, 18(1), 25-39. https://doi.org/10.2462/09670513.989

Greenspace is increasingly recognized as a cost-effective end use for brownfield and contaminated sites. These sites are often unsuitable for vegetation establishment, either due to the presence of contaminants, or because the soil is of insufficient...

How and to what extent do construction project features contribute to accidents? Insight for accident prevention (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Manu, P., Ankrah, N., Proverbs, D., Suresh, S., & Ahadzie, D. (2010, July). How and to what extent do construction project features contribute to accidents? Insight for accident prevention. Paper presented at West Africa Built Environment Research (WABER) Conference, Accra, Ghana

The implementation of effective accident prevention measures requires insight into how accidents occur and the extent to which accident causal factors contribute to accidents. Construction projects features (CPFs) such as the nature of project, metho... Read More about How and to what extent do construction project features contribute to accidents? Insight for accident prevention.

Overcoming isolation in distance learning: Building a learning community through time and space (2010)
Journal Article
Croft, N., Dalton, A., & Grant, M. (2010). Overcoming isolation in distance learning: Building a learning community through time and space. Journal for Education in the Built Environment, 5(1), 27-64

The rise in popularity of distance education programmes, taught through web-based media, belies the difficulty in preparing, delivering and studying on such programmes. Preparing and providing quality material and a rich learning experience are key... Read More about Overcoming isolation in distance learning: Building a learning community through time and space.

Towards interrogating the contribution of construction project features to accident causation (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Manu, P., Ankrah, N., Proverbs, D., Suresh, S., & Adinyira, E. (2010, June). Towards interrogating the contribution of construction project features to accident causation. Paper presented at 1st International Postgraduate Research Conference on the Built Environment, Kumasi, Ghana

Studies on construction accident causation within the UK construction industry have revealed two key hierarchies of causal factors namely: distal factors and proximal factors. Although both causal factors have been the focus of investigation, the dis... Read More about Towards interrogating the contribution of construction project features to accident causation.
