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...

Dynamic thermal simulation of advanced natural ventilation in buildings : current and future usage, UK exemplar (2019)
Journal Article

This paper evaluates the use of advanced natural ventilation (ANV) strategies in a range of climatic conditions from four cities in the UK. A prototype ANV system was proposed to determine the most effective case in mitigating overheating. The case w...

Rating the components of indoor environmental quality in students classrooms in warm humid climate of Uli, Nigeria (2019)
Journal Article
Munonye, C., & Ji, Y. (2019). Rating the components of indoor environmental quality in students classrooms in warm humid climate of Uli, Nigeria

The indoor environment of classrooms needs to be comfortable for the occupants to perform their class work effectively. To achieve this objective, architects and engineers need to be proactive at the early design stage by considering the very compone...

Analyzing the deformation of multilayered saturated sandy soils under large building foundation (2019)
Journal Article
Li, C., Xiu, Z., Ji, Y., Wang, F., & Chan, A. (2019). Analyzing the deformation of multilayered saturated sandy soils under large building foundation. KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 23, 3764-3776. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12205-019-0187-y

The generalized plasticity theory has been subject of much research in geomechanics. The Pastor-Zienkiewicz model and its modified versions are among these. For large foundations resting on multilayered soils the actual loading is often non-linear. I...

Retrofit modelling of existing dwellings in the UK : the Salford Energy House case study (2019)
Journal Article
Ji, Y., Lee, A., & Swan, W. (2019). Retrofit modelling of existing dwellings in the UK : the Salford Energy House case study. International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation, 37(3), 344-360. https://doi.org/10.1108/IJBPA-12-2018-0106

There is a clear consensus that improving energy efficiency of existing housing stock is
necessary to meet the UK’s legally binding carbon emission targets by 2050. The aim of this
research is to assess the energy saving potentials from building re... Read More about Retrofit modelling of existing dwellings in the UK : the Salford Energy House case study.
