This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the. University of Bath URSA competition. Project. Read more
Foundation services for sustained presence on the moon
Multiple space agencies are working together to develop a sustained presence on the moon as a means for further deep space exploration of Mars and beyond. Read more
Design of lattice metamaterials for vibration control
Lightweight structural designs with reduced construction materials and embodied carbon can be achieved with the design of new more sustainable construction materials. Read more
Dynamics of heterogeneous structures for non-destructive testing: theoretical study and experimental validation
Non-destructive methods are common to monitor damage in important civil engineering structures, like dams, bridges, and power plants. Read more
Enhanced finite element analysis of soil-structure dynamic interaction
Conventional structural design does not consider soil-structure interaction (SSI). However, in cases of an earthquake, the soil-structure reciprocal motion can have detrimental effects on heavy structures (e.g. Read more
Innovative solar thermal diodes for use in adaptive/dynamic building envelopes
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Over 30% of global final energy consumption can be attributed to residential and commercial sector buildings. To achieve Net/Near-Zero Energy Building commitments, building envelopes using adaptive/dynamic technologies will be instrumental in reducing energy consumption. Read more
Development and manufacturability of metamaterials for cavity noise suppression
Supervisory Team. A.G. Wilson, P.A.S. Reed, J.L.T. Lawrence, and P.B. Murray. Project description. Read more
Next Generation 'circular' net zero carbon concretes for the UK's offshore wind energy sector
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
The UK’s offshore wind energy (OWE) sector is rapidly expanding through the deployment of 130 semi-submersible floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) every year, to meet future green energy demands and net zero carbon emission targets by 2050. Read more
Fatigue life assessment of old steel truss bridges
Steel trusses have widely been used over the last 150 years for railway and highway bridges. Read more
Multi-hazard earthquake-fire behaviour of concrete filled steel tubular columns
Our futuristic vision for Sustainable and Resilient Structures is one that has transparent expectations of structural performance against time, increased loads, environmental changes and natural disasters. Read more
