A comparison between the MEXE and Pippard's methods of assessing the load carrying capacity of masonry arch bridges (2013)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Haynes, B., & Melbourne, C. (2013). A comparison between the MEXE and Pippard's methods of assessing the load carrying capacity of masonry arch bridges

The Military Engineering eXperimental Establishment (MEXE) method is a long established system of masonry arch load carrying capacity assessment. It has been subject to review in recent years and some shortcomings have been identified. There is now g...

Physical modelling of cyclically loaded masonry arch bridges (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Swift, G., Augusthus Nelson, L., Melbourne, C., & Gilbert, M. (2013, October). Physical modelling of cyclically loaded masonry arch bridges. Presented at 7th International Conference on Arch Bridges, Trogi-Split, Croatia

Experimental work involving large-scale physical models of backfilled masonry arch bridges is being undertaken to examine the behaviour of these structures under cyclic loading regimes. The aim of this research is to better understand the relationshi... Read More about Physical modelling of cyclically loaded masonry arch bridges.

The need for alternative research approaches in construction management : the case of delay studies (2013)
Journal Article
Alsehaimi, A., Koskela, L., & Tzortzopoulos Fazenda, P. (2013). The need for alternative research approaches in construction management : the case of delay studies. Journal of Management in Engineering, 29(4), 407-413. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29ME.1943-5479.0000148

Over the years, there have been many studies of delay in construction, and this type of study continues to be popular in construction management research. A synthesis and critical evaluation of delay studies in developing countries reveals that poor...

Assessing the impact of delivering family interventions training modules: Findings of a small-scale study (2013)
Journal Article
Murphy, N., & Withnell, N. (2013). Assessing the impact of delivering family interventions training modules: Findings of a small-scale study. Mental health nursing (London), 33(5), 10-13

This paper discusses the impact of delivering a family interventions module to qualified mental health practitioners, and in particular highlights whether participants are able to utilise the skills that they learn into practice. This small-scale stu... Read More about Assessing the impact of delivering family interventions training modules: Findings of a small-scale study.

Changes in perspectives of the values and benefits of nature (2013)
Thesis
Smith, D. Changes in perspectives of the values and benefits of nature. (Thesis). University of Salford

Social-ecological systems describe interactions between humans and nature. The ecosystem approach provides a holistic system to manage and understand these interactions, and to maintain and enhance ecosystem services - the benefits nature provides to...
