Our research develops improved methods for modelling, designing and monitoring structural and geotechnical systems using computational and experimental approaches.
We aim to increase understanding of interactions between earthworks, vegetation and climate change and produce guidance for the safety and resilience of infrastructure.
Our modelling and computational techniques for assessing the performance of new and existing structures under severe loading conditions have enhanced the accuracy of structural and geotechnical monitoring.
Our research addresses:
In collaboration with the British Geological Survey, we have developed a new sensor for detecting landslides which listens to the soil and rock as it starts moving, and produces an early warning message so that action can be taken.
We have developed Slope ALARMS which detect impending landslides and provide early warnings.
Our PhD students play a central role in our wide-ranging research activities, making vital contributions to the success of the research itself. Find out more about our PhD opportunities.
