Find out more about topological optimisation.
A synthetic biology approach to material based design computation.
Providing infrastructure operators with a better understanding of wind risks.
Find out more about Soil-structure interaction under long term cyclic loading.
This research focused on investigating the material behaviour of stabilised soft alluvial soils. The aim was to improve poor ground conditions for civil engineering.
This project uniquely unpicks the potential for radical change in infrastructure through the allegory of medical trauma.
This project investigates self-healing materials that self-repair as a result of the metabolic activity of bacteria.
The RESNET project concerns the future reliability of the British electricity network.
This project will make forecasts of the number and location of electricity faults, provided via heat maps, and the number of customers without power.
Characterising the hydro-thermal potential of sustainable drainage systems.
This project will study water flow in porous soil using Zr-89 as a radiotracer for positron emission tomography (PET).
Earthquake reconnaissance plays an invaluable role in earthquake engineering. It enables the collection of perishable data on building performance that are otherwise unobtainable.
Find out more about Fragility analysis of offshore wind.
Modern architectural fabrics enable the construction of striking minimal surfaces, which act as both structure and cladding.
Experimental investigation of thermal conductivity of soils and borehole grouting materials.
This research will develop a new generation of analysis and decision making tools for engineers. They will identify how to locate, and when to deploy, resources to protect critical infrastructure during extreme weather events.
Combining real-time data with digital modelling and visualisation to create a digital twin of water infrastructure.
Fabric structures have provided shelter for thousands of years, but in the last century modern, synthetic, and woven engineering fabrics have become widespread.
Carbon dioxide naturally occurs in soils, natural gas, peat and coal. If any of these absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than they emit, they are known as carbon sinks.
This project aims to understand the response of composite barrier systems to extreme weather events and long-term climate change.
The aim of this project was to deduce the effects of climate change on infrastructure slopes by establishing a unique facility.
Architectural textiles offer a means to reduce energy and material consumption while delivering striking structural engineering solutions.
Activated carbon amended sand as a pollution attenuating material for sustainable stormwater management.
The project aims to help UK infrastructure deliver consistent, affordable and safe services, underpinned by intelligent design, management and maintenance.
