Experimental investigation on liquefaction and post-liquefaction deformation of stratified saturated sand under cyclic loading (2019)
Journal Article

The soils are often distributed in a stratified structure. When an earthquake occurs, there are always risks of liquefaction for stratified soils which can cause serious consequences. The research aims to investigate the liquefaction and post-liquefa...

How accuracy of foot-placement is affected by the size of the base of support and crutch support in stroke survivors and healthy adults (2019)
Journal Article

Background
The high prevalence of falls due to trips and slips following stroke may signify difficulty controlling balance and adjusting foot-placement in response to the environment. We know very little about how controlling foot-placement is affec...
