Impact resistance of concrete and fibre-reinforced concrete: a review (2023)
Journal Article
Esaker, M., Thermou, G., & Neves, L. (2023). Impact resistance of concrete and fibre-reinforced concrete: a review. International Journal of Impact Engineering, 180, Article 104722. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijimpeng.2023.104722

This paper summarises the research carried out to date on the impact resistance of concrete subjected to different impact load regimes, with a focus on high-velocity projectile impact load. An experimental database is compiled on the response of conc... Read More about Impact resistance of concrete and fibre-reinforced concrete: a review.

Analysing the impact of local factors on the life cycle of metallic bridge girders (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Calvert, G., Hamer, M., Neves, L., & Andrews, J. (2023, July). Analysing the impact of local factors on the life cycle of metallic bridge girders. Presented at Eighth International Symposium on Life-Cycle Civil Engineering (IALCCE 2023), Milan, Italy

A fundamental component of a life cycle analysis of a bridge is the modelling of asset condition post-construction. To enhance the accuracy of bridge deterioration models, several studies have calibrated models based on cohorts that incorporate struc...
