An experimental study of cathodic protection for chloride contaminated reinforced concrete (2018)
Journal Article
Oleiwi, H., Wang, Y., Curioni, M., Chen, X., Yao, G., Augusthus Nelson, L., …Shabalin, I. (2018). An experimental study of cathodic protection for chloride contaminated reinforced concrete. Materials and Structures, 51(6), 148. https://doi.org/10.1617/s11527-018-1273-1

Cathodic protection (CP) is being increasingly used on reinforced concrete structures to protect steel reinforcing bars from corrosion in aggressive conditions. Due to the complexity of environmental conditions, the design specifications in national...

Influence of railway loading on the performance of soil-filled masonry arch bridges (2018)
Journal Article
Augusthus Nelson, L., Swift, G., Smith, C., Gilbert, M., & Melbourne, C. (2018). Influence of railway loading on the performance of soil-filled masonry arch bridges. Proceedings of the ICE - Bridge Engineering, 171(4), 276-289. https://doi.org/10.1680/jbren.17.00027

Masonry arch bridges are found in large numbers on the rail networks of Europe and other parts of the world. However, the mode of response of masonry arch structures subjected to railway loading is little understood. To address this, an experimental...

Shear behaviour of lightweight concrete beams strengthened with CFRP composite (2018)
Journal Article
Al-Allaf, M., Weekes, L., & Augusthus Nelson, L. (2019). Shear behaviour of lightweight concrete beams strengthened with CFRP composite. Magazine of Concrete Research, 71(18), 949-964. https://doi.org/10.1680/jmacr.17.00488

This paper presents the experimental results obtained from lightweight and normal concrete beams with closed and U-shaped configurations of epoxy bonded Carbon FRP (CFRP) reinforcement in order to compare the shear resisting mechanisms between lightw...

Long term durability properties of concrete modified with metakaolin and polymer admixture (2018)
Journal Article
Al Menhosh, A., Wang, Y., Wang, Y., & Augusthus Nelson, L. (2018). Long term durability properties of concrete modified with metakaolin and polymer admixture. Construction and Building Materials, 172, 41-51. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2018.03.215

Previous studies show that both metakaolin (MK) and polymer can respectively improve certain mechanical and durability properties of concrete. Also, recent studies show that a combination of MK and polymer further enhances the mechanical properties b...
