Problem areas are identified together with various ill... Read More about Hybrid concrete: improved processes and performance.

Digitally enabling the construction virtual enterprise (2003)
Thesis
Wilson, I. Digitally enabling the construction virtual enterprise. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The construction industry is highly fragmented, consisting of a large number of very small companies that come together as members of non-collocated teams to complete building projects, and who subsequently may never work together again. The indus... Read More about Digitally enabling the construction virtual enterprise.

Monte Carlo simulation of quasielastic neutron scattering from localised and long-range hydrogen motion in C15 Laves phase intermetallic compounds (2003)
Journal Article
Bull, D., Broom, D., & Ross, D. (2003). Monte Carlo simulation of quasielastic neutron scattering from localised and long-range hydrogen motion in C15 Laves phase intermetallic compounds. Chemical Physics, 292(2-3), 153-160. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0301-0104%2803%2900155-1

A number of cubic C15 Laves phase intermetallic compounds are able to absorb large amounts of hydrogen. At low solute concentrations, the protons occupy tetrahedral interstitial sites, which form a network of hexagons. It is believed that the motion...
