Triaxial test of hydrated lime on the mechanical properties of hot mix asphalt concrete (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Al Ashaibi, A., Wang, Y., Albayati, A., Weekes, L., & Haynes, J. (2024). Triaxial test of hydrated lime on the mechanical properties of hot mix asphalt concrete.

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)
Conference Proceeding
Elkady, N., Augusthus-Nelson, L., & Weekes, L. (in press). Scaling Laws in Progressive Collapse Studies.

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.

Progressive collapse: Past, present, future and beyond (2024)
Journal Article
Elkady, N., Augusthus Nelson, L., Weekes, L., Makoond, N., & Buitrago, M. (2024). Progressive collapse: Past, present, future and beyond. Structures, 62, 106131. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.istruc.2024.106131

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.2024.135307

Permanent 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...
