Experimental study on bond-sip behaviour between CFRP sheets and lightweight concrete (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Mustafa, A., Weekes, L., & Augusthus Nelson, L. (2015, September). Experimental study on bond-sip behaviour between CFRP sheets and lightweight concrete. Presented at ACIC 2015, Cambridge, UK

Epoxy bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are widely used for the retrofit of ailing reinforced concrete structures, for both shear and flexure. The behaviour of retrofitted concrete structures is governed by the bond and material charac... Read More about Experimental study on bond-sip behaviour between CFRP sheets and lightweight concrete.

Biomimetic approach for the creation of a deployable structure based on the blooming of the Morning Glory flower (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Fenci, G., Currie, N., & Weekes, L. (2015, August). Biomimetic approach for the creation of a deployable structure based on the blooming of the Morning Glory flower. Presented at International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS) Symposium 2015 : Future Visions, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

This research project proposes the design of a freestanding, biomimetically inspired, deployable canopy. Nature inspires the structure in terms of mechanism and shape, allowing for the creation of a lightweight, multifunctional, and efficient deploya...
