Coupled centrifuge-numerical modelling of shallow strip foundations (2024)
Presentation / Conference

Hybrid modelling within geotechnical centrifuge tests is capable of combining the advantages of centrifuge models (providing soil stress/deformation data) with those of numerical models (capturing structural details along with associated load distrib...

Effect of infill nonlinearity on frame response to tunnelling (2024)
Conference Proceeding

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...

Response of framed buildings on separate footings to tunnelling: a hybrid modelling study (2024)
Conference Proceeding

Within the framework of hybrid geotechnical modelling, the coupled centrifuge-numerical modelling (CCNM) technique, developed at the University of Nottingham Centre for Geomechanics (NCG), is becoming a well-established approach to study the interact...

Load transfer mechanisms for capped and uncapped non-displacement piles above tunnels: a centrifuge modelling study (2024)
Journal Article

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...

Effect of elastic modulus on masonry buildings during tunnelling: a coupled centrifuge-numerical modelling study (2024)
Conference Proceeding

In this study, a novel coupled centrifuge-numerical modelling (CCNM) approach of shallow strip foundations developed at the University of Nottingham Centre for Geomechanics (NCG) is used to study the response of masonry building behaviour during tunn...

Effects of embedded walls on tunnelling-induced sandy ground displacements: a numerical investigation (2024)
Journal Article

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...

Setup and calibration of piles with FBG strain sensors in a geotechnical centrifuge = Configuration et calibration de pieux équipés de capteurs de deformation FBG dans une centrifugeuse géotechnique (2024)
Conference Proceeding

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...
