Tunnelling-induced wall damage: an appraisal of elastoplastic constitutive models for the masonry (2024)
Journal Article
Yu, Y., Franza, A., Ghiassi, B., Canhoto Neves, L., & Marshall, A. M. (in press). Tunnelling-induced wall damage: an appraisal of elastoplastic constitutive models for the masonry. Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology,

This paper investigates the role of masonry elastoplastic constitutive models on tunnelling induced damage in buildings. A two-stage analysis method (TSAM) is adopted, incorporating input greenfield displacements, 3D masonry walls, and an elastic mod...

Measuring pore sizes of nonwoven geotextiles by X-ray CT images: a comparative evaluation (2024)
Journal Article
Khan, M. W., Dawson, A. R., Marshall, A. M., & Chaudhry, R. (2024). Measuring pore sizes of nonwoven geotextiles by X-ray CT images: a comparative evaluation. Geosynthetics International, https://doi.org/10.1680/jgein.24.00055

This paper focuses on evaluating the pore sizes of four nonwoven geotextile specimens with different pore size distribution techniques. The paper introduces a bubble analysis technique to find the two-dimensional (2D) pore size distribution of geotex...

Load transfer mechanisms for capped and uncapped non-displacement piles above tunnels: a centrifuge modelling study (2024)
Journal Article
Tang, C., Franza, A., Xu, J., & Marshall, A. M. (2024). Load transfer mechanisms for capped and uncapped non-displacement piles above tunnels: a centrifuge modelling study. Géotechnique, https://doi.org/10.1680/jgeot.23.00201

This paper presents results from geotechnical centrifuge tests of tunnelling in dry dense sand beneath loaded non-displacement piles, focusing on the effect of a pile cap (representative also of a raft or grade beam) in contact with the soil surface...

Effects of embedded walls on tunnelling-induced sandy ground displacements: a numerical investigation (2024)
Journal Article
Xu, J., Zheng, L., Song, G., Zhang, D., Sheil, B., & Marshall, A. M. (2024). Effects of embedded walls on tunnelling-induced sandy ground displacements: a numerical investigation. Géotechnique, https://doi.org/10.1680/jgeot.23.00307

Urban tunnelling projects pose significant risks to the integrity of nearby structures due to ground movements induced by the excavation process. Embedded walls are commonly employed as a protective measure to mitigate these adverse effects. This pap...
