UK medical teaching about ageing is improving but there is still work to be done: the Second National Survey of Undergraduate Teaching in Ageing and Geriatric Medicine. Age and Ageing, 43(2), 293-297. https://doi.org/10.1093/ageing/aft207

Introduction: in 2008, a UK national survey of undergraduate teaching about ageing and geriatric medicine identified deficiencies, including failure to adequately teach about elder abuse, pressure ulcers and bio- and social gerontology. We repeated t...

The role of ettringite in the deterioration of artificial lime stabilised soils: a microstructural study (2013)
Journal Article
Buttress, A., Grenfell, J., & Airey, G. (2013). The role of ettringite in the deterioration of artificial lime stabilised soils: a microstructural study. Road Materials and Pavement Design, 14(3), https://doi.org/10.1080/14680629.2013.779306

The formation of ettringite has been defined as a major failure mechanism of lime stabilised cohesive soils. It can result in both disruptive volumetric changes and loss of mechanical strength. The mechanisms of its formation and the role it plays in... Read More about The role of ettringite in the deterioration of artificial lime stabilised soils: a microstructural study.

Evaluation of moisture sorption and diffusion characteristics of asphalt mastics using manual and automated gravimetric sorption techniques (2013)
Journal Article
Apeagyei, A. K., Grenfell, J., & Airey, G. (2014). Evaluation of moisture sorption and diffusion characteristics of asphalt mastics using manual and automated gravimetric sorption techniques. Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 26(8), Article 04014045. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29MT.1943-5533.0000929

One of the most important factors influencing the durability of asphalt mixtures is moisture-induced damage resulting from the presence and the transport of moisture in pavements. Moisture-induced damage is an extremely complicated phenomenon that is...
