Use of industrial waste in construction and a cost analysis (2022)
Book Chapter

The average cost is increasing for disposing and managing industrial wastes in the world. The utilization/reuse of industrial wastes in construction is vital in that context to reduce the cost of both industrial operations and construction contractor...

Non-walkability in the car-centric city (2021)
Thesis

Background
Increasing the levels of walking for transport is a widespread urban policy goal, aligning with actions related to climate change, public health, equity of access and participation, and more liveable cities. The walking environment (WE),... Read More about Non-walkability in the car-centric city.

Effect of sea level rise on the overtopping of English coastal defences (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

With a rise in sea levels, there is a consequent increase in the risk to coastal communities of the severity and magnitude of flood events. However these increased risks are not spatially consistent, and the type and nature of a coastal defence may...

Investigating the use of joint probability curves in coastal engineering practice (2020)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the inherent inaccuracy in the estimation of various extreme response variables (RVs) for different sea defence structures using joint exceedance curve approaches in common use around the UK. Utilising stochastically generated... Read More about Investigating the use of joint probability curves in coastal engineering practice.

Evolution of joint probability methods in coastal engineering practice in the UK (2019)
Journal Article

This paper outlines the evolution of joint probability methods in the design and assessment of sea defence structures in the UK, together with the key drivers for these different methods. It highlights why and how the joint exceedance curve technique... Read More about Evolution of joint probability methods in coastal engineering practice in the UK.

Modeling oblique load carrying capacity of batter pile groups using neural network, random forest regression and M5 model tree (2018)
Journal Article

M5 model tree, random forest regression (RF) and neural network (NN) based modelling approaches were used to predict oblique load carrying capacity of batter pile groups using 247 laboratory experiments with smooth and rough pile groups. Pile length... Read More about Modeling oblique load carrying capacity of batter pile groups using neural network, random forest regression and M5 model tree.

Assessing the joint probability of sea conditions: A robust approach (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The design of breakwaters and other coastal structures around the UK requires the assessment of the joint probability of extreme waves and sea levels. There is a standard simplified approach applied within the UK that uses joint exceedance contours o... Read More about Assessing the joint probability of sea conditions: A robust approach.

Application of three nodded finite eleme (2018)
Journal Article

The convergence of numerical solution based on two nodded beam finite element require considerable number of
iterations and time; and is also plagued with shear locking. To address these deficiencies a three nodded beam element is
proposed in thi... Read More about Application of three nodded finite eleme.

Spatial analysis and simulation of extreme coastal flooding scenarios for national-scale emergency planning (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The UK has a long history of coastal flooding, driven by large-scale low-pressure weather systems which can result in flooding over large spatial areas. Traditional coastal flood risk analysis is, however, often undertaken at local scales and hence d...

National scale multivariate extreme value modelling of waves, winds and sea levels (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It has long been recognised that extreme coastal flooding can arise from the joint occurrence of extreme waves, winds and sea levels. The standard simplified joint probability approach used in England and Wales can result in an underestimation of flo...

Methodology to assess coastal infrastructure resilience to climate change (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The section of railway which runs along the coastline of south Devon in United Kingdom, from Exeter to Newton Abbot, is one of the most photographed sections of railway in the world. It was opened in 1846 with embankments and seawalls protecting and... Read More about Methodology to assess coastal infrastructure resilience to climate change.

Thermo-hydro-mechanically modified cross-laminated Guadua-bamboo panels (2015)
Thesis

Guadua angustifolia Kunth (Guadua) is a bamboo species native to South and Central America that has been widely used for structural applications in small and large-scale buildings, bridges and temporary structures. Currently, its structural use is re... Read More about Thermo-hydro-mechanically modified cross-laminated Guadua-bamboo panels.

Application of a conditional approach for multivariate extreme values to flood risk (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Flood risk is a function of probability and consequence. Flooding events can arise from different sources, pluvial, fluvial, groundwater and coastal flooding. Sometimes flooding at a specific location arises from a single source in isolation. Often h... Read More about Application of a conditional approach for multivariate extreme values to flood risk.

Multiobjective optimization for improved management of flood risk (2013)
Journal Article

Effective flood risk management requires consideration of a range of different mitigation measures. Depending on the location, these could include structural or nonstructural measures as well as maintenance regimes for existing levee systems. Risk an...

An automated method for costing flood risk mitigation measures for use with flood risk management decision support systems (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The UK’s first climate change risk assessment and the implications for the coast (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In 2008 the Climate Change Act was passed into law in the UK. This provides a legally binding framework for reducing carbon emissions. Much of the focus of the Act is on reducing emissions and hence on mitigation measures, however, the Act also req...
