Industry-orientated MINRESCUE Workshop
The MINRESCUE industry-oriented workshop, facilitated by SUBTERRA, was successfully held at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid on September 29, 2022. The full-day workshop was delivered in person and in virtual mode to a large number of participants from across industry and academia (> 800 full-duration streams).
New paper in Journal of Acta Geotechnica
The paper entitled "Double image stress point bounding surface model for monotonic and cyclic loading on anisotropic clays" by Hesam Dejaloud and Mohammad Rezania has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Acta Geotechnica (top journal in geotechnical engineering field). In this paper a novel methodology, namely DISP method, is introduced to capture soil's nonlinear behaviour inside the yield surface which can also capture the cyclic soil responses very accurately.
SJTU-Warwick Joint Seed Fund
Thanks to successful SJTU-Warwick Joint Seed Fund, the group started an adventurous joint research project with Shanghai Key Laboratory for Digital Maintenance of Buildings and Infrastructure at SJTU, on the development of new phosphate-based cement from coal tailing and optimizing of its mixes’ rheology for three-dimension printing. Interesting outputs to follow!
New paper in Landslides Journal
The paper entitled "Predictive model of regional coseismic landslides’ permanent displacement considering uncertainty" has been accepted for publication in the prestigious Landslides Journal. This was the result of a collaborative research by fellow scientists at the Faculty of Geosciences and Environmental Engineering, of Southwest Jiaotong University, China.
