Mixed empirical-numerical method for investigating tunneling effects on structures (2017)
Journal Article
Haji, T., Marshall, A. M., & Franza, A. (2018). Mixed empirical-numerical method for investigating tunneling effects on structures. Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 73, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tust.2017.12.008

The assessment of potential for building damage due to ground displacements caused by tunnelling is a global issue being faced by engineers. There is a two-way interaction between tunnelling and existing buildings; tunnel construction affects a build...

A centrifuge modelling study of the response of piled structures to tunnelling (2017)
Journal Article
Franza, A., & Marshall, A. M. (2018). A centrifuge modelling study of the response of piled structures to tunnelling. Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 144(2), https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29GT.1943-5606.0001751

Tunnelling beneath piled structures may compromise the stability and serviceability of the structure. The assessment of potential structure damage is a problem being faced by engineers across the globe. This paper presents the outcomes of a series of...

A cantilever approach to estimate bending stiffness of buildings affected by tunnelling (2017)
Journal Article
Haji, T. K., Haji, T., Marshall, A. M., & Tizani, W. (2018). A cantilever approach to estimate bending stiffness of buildings affected by tunnelling. Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 71, 47-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tust.2017.08.005

The evaluation of the effect of tunnel construction on buildings is a problem being faced by engineers around the world. Building bending stiffness is an important parameter in tunnel-soil-structure interaction analyses. The construction of a new tun...

Layered effects on soil displacement around a penetrometer (2017)
Journal Article
Mo, P.-Q., Marshall, A. M., & Yu, H.-S. (2017). Layered effects on soil displacement around a penetrometer. Soils and Foundations, 57(4), 669-678. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sandf.2017.04.007

The interpretation of cone penetration test (CPT) data is important for the in-situ characterisation of soils. Interpretation of CPT data remains a predominately empirical process due to the lack of a rigorous model that can relate soil properties to...

Prediction of strength and deformability of an interlocked blocky rock mass using UDEC (2017)
Journal Article
Alshkane, Y. M. A., Marshall, A. M., & Stace, L. (2017). Prediction of strength and deformability of an interlocked blocky rock mass using UDEC. Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 9(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jrmge.2017.01.002

The accurate prediction of strength and deformability characteristics of a rock mass is very challenging. In practice, properties of a rock mass are often estimated from available empirical relationships based on the uniaxial compressive strength (UC...
