Journal Article
Rosine Larissa, T., Toma-Sabbagh, T., & Uzomah, V. (2019). Modelling of the effect of scale on the compressibility parameters of fine-grained soils. Geomechanics and Geoengineering, 14(4), 262-270. https://doi.org/10.1080/17486025.2019.1597282

The effect of sample scale represents a challenge when obtaining engineering parameters in the laboratory compared to those obtained in the field. This study aimed at contributing to existing knowledge numerically using the finite element software PL...

Rapid decision support tool based on novel ecosystem service variables for retrofitting of permeable pavement systems in the presence of trees (2013)
Journal Article
Scholz, M., & Uzomah, V. (2013). Rapid decision support tool based on novel ecosystem service variables for retrofitting of permeable pavement systems in the presence of trees. Science of the Total Environment, 458-46, 486-498. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2013.04.062

The retrofitting of sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) such as permeable pavements is currently undertaken ad hoc using expert experience supported by minimal guidance based predominantly on hard engineering variables. There is a lack of practical d... Read More about Rapid decision support tool based on novel ecosystem service variables for retrofitting of permeable pavement systems in the presence of trees.

Selecting sustainable drainage structures based on ecosystem service variables estimated by different stakeholder groups (2013)
Journal Article
Scholz, M., Uzomah, V., Almuktar, S., & Radet-Taligot, J. (2013). Selecting sustainable drainage structures based on ecosystem service variables estimated by different stakeholder groups. Water, 5(4), 1741-1759. https://doi.org/10.3390/w5041741

In times of recession, expert systems supporting environmental managers undergo a revival. However, the retrofitting of sustainable water structures is currently undertaken ad hoc using engineering experience supported by minimal formal guidance. The...

Rapid decision support tool based on novel ecosystem service variables for retrofitting sustainable drainage systems in the presence of trees
Thesis
Uzomah, V. (in press). Rapid decision support tool based on novel ecosystem service variables for retrofitting sustainable drainage systems in the presence of trees. (Thesis). University of Salford

There is a lack of practical decision support tools useful for a rapid assessment of
the potential of ecosystem services when retrofitting permeable pavements in urban areas
that either feature existing trees or should be pla
nted with trees in th... Read More about Rapid decision support tool based on novel ecosystem service variables for retrofitting sustainable drainage systems in the presence of trees.
