Physical Modelling of Instability in Granular Soils and Tsunami Hazards Associated with Coastal Slope Failures
… were explored through large scale granular collapse experiments conducted with a new vertical lifting gate facility. Granular columns under varying levels of submergence were released and the wave generation, propagation and runup were captured through wave capacitance gauges and cameras. …

Continuum Mechanics Modelling of Corrugated Board
… loading. The failure stress is compared with collapse experiments on corrugated board cylinders and the failure stress presented herein is seen to be in significantly better agreement with the measured stresses than the Tsai-Wu failure criterion alone. Alongside with the numerical predictive …

Stochastic prediction of collapse of building structures under seismic excitations
… acceptably small likelihood of structural collapse. Therefore, accurate estimate of collapse likelihood of buildings under seismic excitations has recently become critical in efforts to promote hazard-resilience of the society, especially in developing national building codes, regional …

Disproportionate Collapse Resistance of Timber Beam-column Connections
Disproportionate collapse occurs when a structure collapses globally as a result of localised initial damage, such as element removal. Multi-material beam-column connections in timber post-and-beam buildings provide deformation capacity, continuity, and ductility necessary to form alternative load …
