Development of a vehicle-bridge-soil dynamic interaction model for scour damage modelling (2016)
Journal Article
Prendergast, L. J., Hester, D., & Gavin, K. (2016). Development of a vehicle-bridge-soil dynamic interaction model for scour damage modelling. Shock and Vibration, 2016, 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1155/2016/7871089

Damage detection in bridges using vibration-based methods is an area of growing research interest. Improved assessment methodologies combined with state-of-the-art sensor technology are rapidly making these approaches applicable for real-world stru...

A comparative study on deflection-hardening behavior of ductile alkali-activated composite (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Zhang, S., Nedeljković, M., Ghiassi, B., & Ye, G. (2016). A comparative study on deflection-hardening behavior of ductile alkali-activated composite. In V. Mechtcherine, V. Slowik, & P. Kabele (Eds.), Strain-hardening cement-based composites (123-130). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-024-1194-2_14

Alkali-activation technology as an environmental friendly approach to produce construction materials can lead to a great CO2 emission reduction and provide high potential for waste reutilization. Alkali activated materials (AAMs) generally exhibit be... Read More about A comparative study on deflection-hardening behavior of ductile alkali-activated composite.

Determining the presence of scour around bridge foundations using vehicle-induced vibrations (2016)
Journal Article
Prendergast, L. J., Hester, D., & Gavin, K. (2016). Determining the presence of scour around bridge foundations using vehicle-induced vibrations. Journal of Bridge Engineering, 21(10), Article 04016065. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28asce%29be.1943-5592.0000931

Bridge scour is the number one cause of failure in bridges located over waterways. Scour leads to rapid losses in foundation stiffness and can cause sudden collapse. Previous research on bridge health monitoring has used changes in natural frequency... Read More about Determining the presence of scour around bridge foundations using vehicle-induced vibrations.
