Outcomes from applying the inverted classroom to a first year structures module (2020)
Journal Article

The Institution of Structural Engineers has recently invested
considerable eff ort in the thorny problem of how to improve
understanding of structural behaviour among undergraduate students.
This paper, based on a winning entry to the Institution’... Read More about Outcomes from applying the inverted classroom to a first year structures module.

Disproportionate collapse analysis of mid-rise cross-laminated timber buildings (2018)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the structural behaviour of a twelve-storey Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) building subjected to sudden removal of internal and external ground floor loadbearing walls, and computes the probability of disproportionate collapse....

Deployable structures classification : a review (2017)
Journal Article
Fenci, G., & Currie, N. (2017). Deployable structures classification : a review. International Journal of Space Structures, 32(2), 112-130. https://doi.org/10.1177/0266351117711290

Deployable structures have the capacity to transform and predictably adopt multiple predetermined configurations, moving through known paths, while deploying in a controlled and safe way. These characteristics introduce benefits when considering issu... Read More about Deployable structures classification : a review.

Optimisation of the deployment sequence of 2 Dof systems (2017)
Journal Article
Fenci, G., & Currie, N. (2017). Optimisation of the deployment sequence of 2 Dof systems. International Journal of Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements, 5(4), 504-513. https://doi.org/10.2495/CMEM-V5-N4-504-513

The methodology for the analysis of deployable structures with 2 degrees of freedom (DoF) and optimisation of the deployment sequence is proposed. A parametrically controlled geometry, based on the design of biomimetic deployable structures, is syste... Read More about Optimisation of the deployment sequence of 2 Dof systems.

Embedding technology in the structures thread of a civil engineering degree (2013)
Journal Article
Currie, N., Haynes, B., Leach, P., Wang, J., & Weekes, L. (2013). Embedding technology in the structures thread of a civil engineering degree

This paper describes an ongoing journey,
which began in the autumn semester of
2005 and continues to the present day, with
the aims of promoting good teaching at the
University of Salford, UK. It discusses the
challenges faced during the redesig... Read More about Embedding technology in the structures thread of a civil engineering degree.

Ecological strategy for eutrophication control (2010)
Journal Article

Water monitoring results of the Danjiangkou Reservoir indicated that total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations are high and therefore worse than required for central drinking water supplies. Nutrients including nitrogen and phosphorus accumu... Read More about Ecological strategy for eutrophication control.
