A new macro-element model encapsulating the dynamic moment-rotation behaviour of raft foundations (2015)
Journal Article
Heron, C., Haigh, S., & Madabhushi, S. (2015). A new macro-element model encapsulating the dynamic moment-rotation behaviour of raft foundations. Géotechnique, 65(5), https://doi.org/10.1680/geot.SIP.15.P.020

The interaction of shallow foundations with the underlying soil during dynamic loading can have both positive and negative effects on the behaviour of the superstructure. Although the negative impacts are generally considered within design codes, sel... Read More about A new macro-element model encapsulating the dynamic moment-rotation behaviour of raft foundations.

Dynamic response of flexible square tunnels: centrifuge testing and validation of existing design methodologies (2015)
Journal Article
Tsinidis, G., Pitilakis, K., Madabhushi, G., & Heron, C. (2015). Dynamic response of flexible square tunnels: centrifuge testing and validation of existing design methodologies. Géotechnique, 65(5), https://doi.org/10.1680/geot.SIP.15.P.004

A series of dynamic centrifuge tests were performed on a flexible aluminium square tunnel model embedded in Hostun dry sand. The tests were carried out at the centrifuge facility of the University of Cambridge in order to further improve knowledge re...
