A novel fatigue test method for bitumen-stone combinations under cyclic tension-compression loading (2024)
Journal Article
Zhou, L., Airey, G., Zhang, Y., Huang, W., & Wang, C. (2025). A novel fatigue test method for bitumen-stone combinations under cyclic tension-compression loading. Materials and Design, 249, Article 113577. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2024.113577

Asphalt pavement distress is closely linked to the fatigue performance of asphalt mixtures. Traditional fatigue tests like the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) cannot assess failure between bitumen and stone, while methods like the four-point bending (4...

Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) is an effective intervention method for improving the shear strength of existing reinforced concrete (RC) beams, yet predictive analyses are scarce. This study introduces and compares nine machine learning... Read More about Data-driven shear strength prediction of RC beams strengthened with FRCM jackets using machine learning approach.

A Revolutionary Deep Generative Modelling for Linear and Nonlinear Analysis of Masonry (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Adaileh, A., Ghiassi, B., & Briganti, R. (2024, July). A Revolutionary Deep Generative Modelling for Linear and Nonlinear Analysis of Masonry. Presented at 18th International Brick and Block Masonry Conference, Birmingham, UK

The primary challenge in designing and analysing masonry structures is predicting their mechanical response. In particular, fast and direct prediction of masonry mechanical response field is desirable. This motivates the present study to introduce an...

Assessment of the Accuracy of Terrestrial Laser Scanners in Detecting Local Surface Anomaly (2024)
Journal Article
Algadhi, A., Psimoulis, P., Grizi, A., & Neves, L. (2024). Assessment of the Accuracy of Terrestrial Laser Scanners in Detecting Local Surface Anomaly. Remote Sensing, 16(24), Article 4647. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs16244647

The surface anomaly is a common defect for structures that resist lateral stresses, such as retaining walls. The accurate detection of an anomaly using contactless techniques, such as the Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS), is significant for the reliab...
