Shear strength of cross laminated timber-concrete connections reinforced with carbon fibre polymer composites
Published 2018-01-01This paper presents an experimental study on the mechanical behaviour of four different timber concrete composite (TCC) connections. Experimental shear tests were conducted to assess the strength and stiffness of the ...Open AccessConference paper -
Stereoscopic modelling and monitoring of the roughness in concrete pavements
Published 2018-01-01The detection and measurement of surface properties, such as cracks and roughness, on concrete structures have been of significant interest in recent years. Crack formation, width and propagation as well as surface roughness ...Open AccessConference paper -
Coupling finite elements for modelling fluid flow in fractured porous media
Published 2018-01-01The presence of discontinuities such as cracks and faults in porous media can remarkably affect the fluid pressure distribution. This is due to considerable contrast between hydraulic properties of porous matrix and ...Open AccessConference paper -
Comparison of Reynolds averaging Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulent models in predicting wind pressure on tall buildings
Published 2019-01-01This paper presents a detailed comparison of using Reynolds Averaging Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach in predicting wind pressure on a super-tall 406 m slender tower with circular cross-section. The results obtained from ...Open AccessArticle -
Crack growth modelling: enriched continuum vs. discrete models
Published 2015-01-01Failure in quasi-brittle materials usually appears in the form of narrow bands called fracture process zones, where all inelastic deformation takes place, while the surrounding bulk material outside those areas typically ...Conference paper
