Performance of axially loaded single pile embedded in cohesive soil with cavities (2017)
Journal Article
Al-Jazaairry, A., & Toma-Sabbagh, T. (2017). Performance of axially loaded single pile embedded in cohesive soil with cavities

The stability of a single model pile located adjacent to a continuous cavity was studied. This paper is an attempt to understand the behaviour of axially loaded single pile embedded in clayey soil with the presences of cavities. The performance of pi...

An evaluation DEM accuracy acquired using a small unmanned aerial vehicle across a riverine environment (2017)
Journal Article
unmanned aerial vehicle across a riverine environment. International journal of new technology and research, 3(7), 43-48

Fluvial systems offer a challenging and varied environment for topographic survey, displaying a rapidly varying morphology, diversevegetation assemblage and varying degree of submergence. Traditionally theodolite or GPS based systems have been used t... Read More about An evaluation DEM accuracy acquired using a small unmanned aerial vehicle across a riverine environment.

Journal Article
Ismagilova, E., Agzamov, F., & Abbas, A. (2017). Optimization of self-healing additives dispersity in cement. Georesursy Георесурсы (Print) (Print), 19(2), 129-134. https://doi.org/10.18599/grs.19.2.7

The article reflects results of the experimental studies on the modifying agent’s dispersion to affect the nature of its distribution in the total volume of cement stone. An attempt was made to evaluate the strength and filtration properties of the... Read More about Optimization of self-healing additives dispersity in cement.

Housing adaptations in the UK : scoping the evidence to support policy and practice (2017)
Journal Article
Russell, R., Newton, R., Mackintosh, S., & Ormerod, M. (2017). Housing adaptations in the UK : scoping the evidence to support policy and practice. Innovation in Aging, 1(Supl_1), 1036-1036. https://doi.org/10.1093/geroni/igx004.3774

In the UK there is a paucity of research evidence to underpin the implementation of housing adaptations’ policy and practice with little knowledge of what works for whom, in what circumstances, and to what effect. While the UK Government has signific... Read More about Housing adaptations in the UK : scoping the evidence to support policy and practice.
