Recent development and remaining challenges in determining unique bridge scour performance indicators (2018)
Journal Article
PRENDERGAST, L., GAVIN, K., STIPANOVIC, I., & SKARIC-PALIC, S. (2018). Recent development and remaining challenges in determining unique bridge scour performance indicators. Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 13(3), 291-300. https://doi.org/10.7250/bjrbe.2018-13.417

There have been significant developments in the area of vibration based bridge scour monitoring in recent years. Traditional scour monitoring using either visual assessment or diving inspections are now recognised to be very unreliable and highly sub...

Performance of CPT-based methods to assess monopile driveability in North Sea sands (2018)
Journal Article
Byrne, T., Gavin, K., Prendergast, L., Cachim, P., Doherty, P., & Chenicheri Pulukul, S. (2018). Performance of CPT-based methods to assess monopile driveability in North Sea sands. Ocean Engineering, 166, 76-91. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oceaneng.2018.08.010

Offshore pile driving is a high-risk activity as delays can be financially punitive. Experience of pile driving for offshore jacket structures where pile diameters are typically < 2 m has led to the development of empirical pile driveability models w...

Structural health monitoring for performance assessment of bridges under flooding and seismic actions (2018)
Journal Article
Prendergast, L. J., Limongelli, M. P., Ademovic, N., Anžlin, A., Gavin, K., & Zanini, M. (2018). Structural health monitoring for performance assessment of bridges under flooding and seismic actions. Structural Engineering International, 28(3), 296-307. https://doi.org/10.1080/10168664.2018.1472534

Bridges can be subjected to damaging environmental actions due to flooding and seismic hazards. Flood actions that result in scour are a leading cause of bridge failure, while seismic actions that induce lateral forces may lead to high ductility dema...

An iterative method to infer distributed mass and stiffness profiles for use in reference dynamic beam-Winkler models of foundation piles from frequency response functions (2018)
Journal Article
Wu, W., Prendergast, L., & Gavin, K. (2018). An iterative method to infer distributed mass and stiffness profiles for use in reference dynamic beam-Winkler models of foundation piles from frequency response functions. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 431, 1-19. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2018.05.049

Accurate characterisation of soil behaviour in Dynamic-Soil-Structure Interaction (DSSI) applications remains a significant challenge. Knowledge of the operational soil-structure interaction stiffness is important for applications ranging from earthq...
