In-situ measurement and numerical simulation of resin pressure during Glass/Epoxy prepreg composite manufacturing (2016)
Journal Article
Ammasai Sengodan, G., Maheshwari, M., Joshi, S., Chen, Z., Asundi, A., & Tjin, S. (2016). In-situ measurement and numerical simulation of resin pressure during Glass/Epoxy prepreg composite manufacturing. Measurement, 94, 505-514. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.measurement.2016.08.028

Resin pressure distribution of a curing Glass/Epoxy prepreg lay-up is the key parameter that controls the strength, stiffness and void nucleation of the cured composite part. It is vital to monitor and control the resin movement of curing laminate to...

Integrated framework for early warning system in UAE (2016)
Journal Article
Alhmoudi, A., & Aziz, Z. (2016). Integrated framework for early warning system in UAE. International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment, 7(4), 361-373. https://doi.org/10.1108/IJDRBE-08-2015-0040

Purpose - The impacts and costs of natural disasters on people, properties and environment is
often severe when they occur on a large scale and with no warning system in place. The lack
of deployment of early warning system, low risk and
hazard... Read More about Integrated framework for early warning system in UAE.

Understanding the terminologies : disaster, crisis and emergency (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Al-Dahash, H., Thayaparan, M., & Kulatunga, U. (2016, September). Understanding the terminologies : disaster, crisis and emergency. Presented at Association of Researchers in Construction Management (ARCOM), Manchester, UK

Despite the fact that there is a difference between the terms disaster, crisis and emergency, they are closely interconnected, interdependent and overlap significantly. With a blurred line between the definitions of these terms, the mainstream litera... Read More about Understanding the terminologies : disaster, crisis and emergency.

Geotechnical characterization of cost overrun drivers in highway projects (2016)
Book Chapter
Amadi, A., & Higham, A. (2016). Geotechnical characterization of cost overrun drivers in highway projects. In Proceedings of the Thirty-Second ARCOM Annual Conference 2016 (311-320). ARCOM

Infrastructure projects typically face far higher levels of cost overrun than any other form of construction or civil engineering project. An expansive range of research identifying theoretical and technical explanations for this negative trend has e...

Since its launc... Read More about Manchester Central Library and Town Hall Extension Project : the BIM journey so far of a public sector client.

Urban regeneration and civic economics : a community-led approach in Boston and Naples (2016)
Journal Article
Esposito De Vita, G., Trillo, C., & Oppido, S. (2016). Urban regeneration and civic economics : a community-led approach in Boston and Naples

Although the seeds of a communitarian oriented
thinking date back to the 19th century, it was in
the 1980s that a group of political philosophers
started to challenge systematically the individualist
liberalism prevailing at that time. The initia... Read More about Urban regeneration and civic economics : a community-led approach in Boston and Naples.

The soil microbiome at the Gi-FACE experiment responds to a moisture gradient but not to CO2 enrichment (2016)
Journal Article
De Menezes, A., Müller, C., Clipson, N., & Doyle, E. (2016). The soil microbiome at the Gi-FACE experiment responds to a moisture gradient but not to CO2 enrichment. Microbiology, 162, 1572-1582. https://doi.org/10.1099/mic.0.000341

The soil bacterial community at the Giessen free-air CO2 enrichment (Gi-FACE) experiment was analysed by tag-sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. No substantial effects of CO2 levels on bacterial community composition were detected. However, the soil moi...
