Triaxial test of hydrated lime on the mechanical properties of hot mix asphalt concrete (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper reports on the experimental study, which conducted a series of triaxial tests for the asphalt concrete using hydrated lime as a mineral additive. Three HMA mixes, prepared by the specification for wearing, levelling and base layers, were s...

Scaling Laws in Progressive Collapse Studies (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This state-of-the-art study introduces an innovative approach employing scaling laws to facilitate the utilisation of small-scale models in progressive collapse experimentation. It evaluates the quasi-static behaviour of scaled beam-column sub-assemb... Read More about Scaling Laws in Progressive Collapse Studies.
Unveiling the potential of scaling in progressive collapse studies (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Progressive collapse: Past, present, future and beyond (2024)
Journal Article
The world has seen a surge in rigorous study efforts on the progressive collapse of structures in the past few decades. These events have led to new standards and provisions in building codes of practice, many of which are still bei... Read More about Progressive collapse: Past, present, future and beyond.
Uni- and tri-axial tests and property characterization for thermomechanical effect on hydrated lime modified asphalt concrete (2024)
Journal Article
Al-Ashaibi, A., Wang, Y., Albayati, A., Weekes, L., & Haynes, J. (2024). Uni- and tri-axial tests and property characterization for thermomechanical effect on hydrated lime modified asphalt concrete. Construction and Building Materials, 418, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2024.135307Permanent deformation, fatigue and thermal cracking are the three typical distresses of flexible pavement. Using hydrated lime (HL) into the conventional limestone mineral additive has been widely practiced, including in Europe, to improve the mechan...

Sensitivities Of Interfacial Bond-Sip Properties In Predicting The Behaviour Of FRP-Strengthened Concrete (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The performance of FRP-bonded concrete is heavily influenced by the properties of the bond between the two materials. Various bond-slip models incorporating interfacial bond properties have been developed to understand and predict this behaviour. In...
