This paper discusses technical aspects of the experimental setup and calibration processing during centrifuge testing of single piles, instrumented with fibre Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors, under vertical loads. Results illustrate the influence... Read More about Setup and calibration of piles with FBG strain sensors in a geotechnical centrifuge.

Effect of infill nonlinearity on frame response to tunnelling (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yu, Y., Franza, A., Neves, L., & Marshall, A. M. (2024, June). Effect of infill nonlinearity on frame response to tunnelling. Presented at IS-Macau 2024: 11th International Symposium of Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground, Macao SAR, China

Tunnel construction is needed for infrastructure development in urban areas. However, underground excavation can detrimentally influence adjacent buildings; in particular , for framed structures with shallow foundations, damage would localise in the...
