Innovative methods of ground improvement for problematic transport earthwork materials

(Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Safdar M., Gunn M., Gray C., Payne I., Garelick J., Purchase D.

Topic:

Environmental management and policies

The paper focuses on emerging (bio-) chemical techniques used to improve engineering properties of two problematic earthwork materials of the UK rail network to address transport earthwork infrastructure resilience in view of climate change. Studied techniques include novel cementing agents (e.g...Read more

An Agent Based Modelling tool exploring decision-making processes for flood risk management

(Corresponding) Koutiva I., Makropoulos C.

Topic:

Water policy, management and society

Cities at risk of extreme hydro-meteorological events need to be prepared to decrease the extent of the impacts. However, the majority usually reacts to the catastrophe, having failed to proactively prepare against extremes. This can be a result of both absent structural protection measures and...Read more
