Correlating floodplain geochemical profiles with archival historical mining records to establish depositional chronologies of river sediment (2022)
Journal Article

Chronological markers in fluvial sediments can provide useful information on geomorphic response to historic catchment disturbance, and help explain historic channel morphodynamics. We concentrate on the River Nent catchment in Northern England, whic...

Perceived accessibility of employment sites by jobseekers and the potential relevance of employer-subsidised demand responsive transport to enhance the commute (2022)
Journal Article

The constraints placed by the transport options available to job-seekers are key factors for the accessibility of employment locations and therefore social inclusion. The present paper investigates the importance of these constraints and the potentia...

Being in the hyper city and the posthuman body (2022)
Journal Article

Since ancient times, the analogy of the body in relation to buildings was central both in Western and Eastern architectural and urban design. Over time, the prevalence of economies over inhabitants’ experience led to the adoption of architectural and... Read More about Being in the hyper city and the posthuman body.

Influence of orographic precipitation on coevolving landforms and vegetation in semi-arid ecosystems (2022)
Journal Article

Topography affects the intensity and spatial distribution of precipitation due to orographic lifting mechanisms and, in turn, influences the prevailing climate and vegetation distribution. Previous modelling studies on the impact of orographic precip... Read More about Influence of orographic precipitation on coevolving landforms and vegetation in semi-arid ecosystems.

Cycling tourism in Italy: Multimodal transport behaviours in a latent class analysis (2022)

Enhancing fire resistance of reinforced concrete beams through sacrificial reinforcement (2022)
Journal Article

Due to the superior properties of concrete, structural members made of concrete often satisfy fire requirements specified in codes and standards without special installations or the use of external insulation. A closer examination into fire codal pro... Read More about Enhancing fire resistance of reinforced concrete beams through sacrificial reinforcement.

A disaggregate analysis of ‘excess’ car travel and its role in decarbonisation (2022)
Journal Article

This paper measures ‘excess’ car travel for its role in decarbonisation. On average, each English adult travels around 5,680 miles a year and emits 1,006 kg of CO2. However, the top 5% ‘excess’ car users travel 4.8 times and emit 5.7 times the nation... Read More about A disaggregate analysis of ‘excess’ car travel and its role in decarbonisation.

Rapid extreme tropical precipitation and flood inundation mapping (flood-tropical) framework: initial testing for the 2021-2022 Malaysia flood (2022)
Journal Article

The 2021-2022 flood is one of the most serious flood events in Malaysian history, with approximately 70,000 victims evacuated daily, 54 killed and total losses were up to MYR 6.1 billion. From this devastating event, we realized the lack of extreme p...

Surface damage from perpendicular and oblique bullet impacts in stone (2022)
Journal Article

Controlled experiments were conducted to investigate the surface damage caused by perpendicular and oblique impacts of bullets into sandstone and limestone targets. Individual bullets fired in conditions simulating modern rifles at typical combat dis... Read More about Surface damage from perpendicular and oblique bullet impacts in stone.

A low computational cost seismic analyses framework for 3D tunnel-form building structures (2022)
Journal Article

Numerical modeling of tunnel-form buildings entails the utilization of 3D finite element models consisting of large numbers of shell and fiber elements. Accordingly, the non-linear analysis of such models under seismic excitations is both time-consum...

Road pavement defect investigation using treated and untreated expansive road subgrade materials with varying plasticity index (2022)
Journal Article

Road pavement defect has been a major issue in the construction industry leading to a high cost of maintenance and sometimes a total reconstruction of the road. Expansive road subgrade materials are one of the major causes of these road defects. In t...
