Centrifuge and Real-Time Hybrid Testing of Tunneling beneath Piles and Piled Buildings (2018)
Journal Article
Andrea, F., & Alec M., M. (2019). Centrifuge and Real-Time Hybrid Testing of Tunneling beneath Piles and Piled Buildings. Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 145(3), Article 04018110. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29GT.1943-5606.0002003

Tunnels are constructed increasingly close to existing buried structures, including pile foundations. This poses a serious concern, especially for tunnels built beneath piles. Current understanding of the global tunnel-soil-pile-building interaction... Read More about Centrifuge and Real-Time Hybrid Testing of Tunneling beneath Piles and Piled Buildings.

A coupled thermal-mechanical numerical model of underground coal gasification (UCG) including spontaneous coal combustion and its effects (2018)
Journal Article
Ekneligoda, T., & Marshall, A. (2018). A coupled thermal-mechanical numerical model of underground coal gasification (UCG) including spontaneous coal combustion and its effects. International Journal of Coal Geology, 199, 31-38. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coal.2018.09.015

Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a promising option for extracting energy from coal in unworked or hard to access areas of the subsurface. From a geotechnical perspective, UCG involves various complex phenomena resulting from the elevated tempe...

A dynamic gradient ratio test apparatus (2018)
Journal Article
Khan, M., Dawson, A., & Marshall, A. (2018). A dynamic gradient ratio test apparatus. Geotextiles and Geomembranes, 46(6), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geotexmem.2018.07.003

The soil-geotextile filtration mechanism is a complex process which depends on physical compatibility between the geotextile and the soil to be retained. Several methods have been proposed by researchers for assessing the filtration behaviour of soil... Read More about A dynamic gradient ratio test apparatus.

Direct displacement-based seismic design of flexible-base structures subjected to pulse-like ground motions (2018)
Journal Article
Hajirasouliha, I., Marshall, A. M., & Lu, Y. (2018). Direct displacement-based seismic design of flexible-base structures subjected to pulse-like ground motions. Engineering Structures, 168, 276-289. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engstruct.2018.04.079

In this paper, a practical displacement-based framework is presented for seismic design of flexible-base structures in near-fault regions. Particular attention is given to pulse-like motions that may cause significant damage to building structures. T...

An improved replacement oscillator approach for soil-structure interaction analysis considering soft soils (2018)
Journal Article
Lu, Y., Hajirasouliha, I., & Marshall, A. M. (2018). An improved replacement oscillator approach for soil-structure interaction analysis considering soft soils. Engineering Structures, 167, 26-38. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engstruct.2018.04.005

This paper aims to improve the effectiveness of the replacement oscillator approach for soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis of flexible-base structures on soft soil deposits. The replacement oscillator approach transforms a flexible-base single... Read More about An improved replacement oscillator approach for soil-structure interaction analysis considering soft soils.

Elastic-brittle-plastic behaviour of shale reservoirs and its implications on fracture permeability variation: an analytical approach (2018)
Journal Article
Masoudian, M. S., Hashemi, M. A., Tasalloti, A., & Marshall, A. M. (2018). Elastic-brittle-plastic behaviour of shale reservoirs and its implications on fracture permeability variation: an analytical approach. Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 51(5), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00603-017-1392-y

Shale gas has recently gained significant attention as one of the most important unconventional gas resources. Shales are fine-grained rocks formed from the compaction of silt and clay sized particles and are characterised by their fissured texture a...
