Earth construction techniques (such as adobe, rammed earth, and wattle-and-daub) are common in Brazil, especially in Minas Gerais, where they have been applied since the colonial period (15th-18th
This project aims to investigate the capabilities of adaptive structures that change their geometry and mechanical properties to accommodate operational loading and extend their lifespan, thereby s
In the context of long-term monitoring applications, there are numerous structural states that exhibit similar behavior but cannot be generalized with a single model (whether data- or physics-based
Worldwide decentralized water and wastewater systems, including in UK rural areas and Islands, can have a high cost and be unreliable, often failing during treatment.
Professor Lindsay Beevers has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (FRSE). Professor Beevers is among 57 new fellows selected to join the RSE for their individual excellence and thought leadership in their respective fields, across the sciences, arts, business, professions, and the third and public sectors.
The projections of sea level rise show that UK sea level will continue to rise well beyond 2100, even under scenarios where future temperature rise is stopped.
Continuum mechanics approaches have been used to model the mechanical behaviour of biological (and active) systems at length scales that are large enough.
Membrane fouling – the deposition of organic and inorganic matter on the membrane surface – is a major technical obstacle affecting membrane-based water treatment processes.
