Setup and calibration of piles with FBG strain sensors in a geotechnical centrifuge (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tang, C., Marshall, A. M., Heron, C., Franza, A., & Xu, J. (2024, August). Setup and calibration of piles with FBG strain sensors in a geotechnical centrifuge. Presented at XVIII European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Lisbon (Portugal)

This paper discusses technical aspects of the experimental setup and calibration processing during centrifuge testing of single piles, instrumented with fibre Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors, under vertical loads. Results illustrate the influence... Read More about Setup and calibration of piles with FBG strain sensors in a geotechnical centrifuge.

Empirical and semi-analytical methods for evaluating tunnelling-induced ground movements in sands (2019)

Empirical formulas and closed-form solutions provide, in many cases, good predictions of tunnelling-induced ground movements which, when combined with their computational efficiency, make them valuable for tunnel-structure interaction analyses. For s... Read More about Empirical and semi-analytical methods for evaluating tunnelling-induced ground movements in sands.
