Experimental investigation of the residual behaviour of damaged masonry arch structures (2020)
Journal Article
Augusthus Nelson, L., & Swift, G. (2020). Experimental investigation of the residual behaviour of damaged masonry arch structures. Structures, 27, 2500-2512. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.istruc.2020.08.008

New masonry arch bridges are rarely constructed as part of modern transport networks, however they continue to remain an integral part of modern civil infrastructure due to their overall resilience. This resilience has led to extremely long service l... Read More about Experimental investigation of the residual behaviour of damaged masonry arch structures.

Analytical modelling of bond-slip failure between epoxy bonded FRP and concrete substrate (2020)
Journal Article
Augusthus Nelson, L., Al-Allaf, M., & Weekes, L. (2020). Analytical modelling of bond-slip failure between epoxy bonded FRP and concrete substrate. Composite Structures, 251, 112956. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2020.112596

In this paper, a set of explicit theoretical derivations from a generalised bond-slip model for an epoxy bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) sheet to concrete are presented. The derivations address the maximum bond resistance, load-slip response,... Read More about Analytical modelling of bond-slip failure between epoxy bonded FRP and concrete substrate.

Validation of a finite element modelling approach on soil-foundation-structure interaction of a multi-storey wall-frame structure under dynamic loadings (2020)
Journal Article
Qaftan, O., Toma-Sabbagh, T., Weekes, L., & Augusthus Nelson, L. (2020). Validation of a finite element modelling approach on soil-foundation-structure interaction of a multi-storey wall-frame structure under dynamic loadings. Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 131, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soildyn.2020.106041

Validated numerical approaches are very important in dynamic studies of soil-structure interaction. Experimental outputs of physical models are required to validate the numerical approaches. Testing and analysis of an experimental scaled model is eco...
