Deuerlein, Jochen (author), Gilbert, Denis (author), Abraham, E. (author), Piller, Olivier (author)In this manuscript, we consider the problem of optimally scheduling the restoration of a water distribution network with multiple failures after a disaster. The decisions made are the sequence of burst/broken pipes and leaks that need to be replaced or repaired, respectively, subject to constraints on workforce availability and physical...conference paper 2018

Jalilvand, Soroosh (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Doherty, Paul (author), Gilbert, Robert B. (author), Vinayagamoothy, Siva (author), Bradshaw, Aaron (author)Offshore wind developments are moving towards deep water where the energy is abundant and visual and sound interference is minimised. However, construction in deep water poses several challenges to developers, among which are the high cost of operation and material transport. The current study addresses the behaviour of a novel foundation system...conference paper 2016

Liu, Z. (author), Lacasse, S. (author), Nadim, F. (author), Gilbert, R. (author)The safe bearing capacity for offshore shallow foundations has been traditionally assessed using working stress design (WSD) methods (e.g. the API RP 2GEO guideline). Other codes of practice such as the ISO standard strive to provide designs achieving a desired target reliability level in the form of the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)...conference paper 2015

(author)There is a need for a method for assessing the results from changes in the potential durability of road materials due to the inclusion of reclaimed and secondary component materials in the manufacture of new road materials. Such changes will have an effect on the cost of the construction maintenance, both financially to the client and...conference paper 2014

Khan, I.M. (author), Gilbert, T. (author), Barigou, M. (author)The shape of the nozzle geometry is increasingly attractive in heating, ventilation and air conditioning applications. However an important consideration in the design of nozzle geometry is its effect on the dynamics of near flow field jet and to minimise the manufacturing cost for practical applications. In this investigation the effect of an...conference paper 2006
