Wave damping by large-scale offshore kelp farms - A numerical modelling framework using a porous medium approach

Large-scale cultivation of seaweed presents opportunities for multiple global challenges currently at play. Cultivated seaweed can provide a sustainable source of protein for humans and cattle without competing for land, freshwater supply or the use of fertilisers. Kelp forests are known to be a solid basis for an elaborate biome that supports...

Concrete slab beneath ballast bed - An Abatement Measure For Railway Induced Vibration

In this research project, an assessment of an abatement measure for mitigating railway induced vibrations is carried out. Ground-borne vibrations, which are primarily generated due to wheel-rail interaction, may also result in ground-borne noise in the buildings located in vicinity of railway tracks. An example of adverse environmental impact...
