Comparing eurocode 2 prestress loss estimations to strains measured on a pretensioned bridge beam
Elshafie, M.Z.E.B.; Bosman, T.; Kearsley, E.P.; Skorpen, S.A.; Butler, L.J. ( CRC Press/Balkema , 2019 , Conference Paper)The implementation of Eurocode 2 (EC2) for the design of concrete structures in South Africa in the near future is pending and necessitates refined understanding of EC2’s prediction models; including prestress losses and ... -
Development of a three-dimensional staged volume loss tunnelling method in the centrifuge
Gue C.Y.; Elshafie M.Z.E.B. ( ICE Publishing , 2019 , Article)Conventional assessment of tunnelling-induced settlement focuses primarily on transverse profiles given the transitional nature of the longitudinal settlement profile. This approach thus relies on the commonly made assumption ... -
Pervasive Fibre-optic sensor networks in bridges: A UK case study
Butler L.J.; Elshafie M.Z.E.B.; Middleton C.R. ( CRC Press/Balkema , 2018 , Conference Paper)Integrating fibre-optic sensor networks in a newly-constructed infrastructure assets enables datadriven performance assessment during its construction and throughout its operational life. As part of a multimillion pound ... -
Simulation of wellbore construction in offshore unconsolidated methane hydrate-bearing formation
SasakiT.; SogaK.; ElshafieM.Z.E.B. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Article)The unconsolidated nature of offshore methane hydrate-bearing formation poses challenges to sustainable methane gas production as the weak formation is susceptible to disturbance during wellbore construction. This could ... -
The role of statistics in data-centric engineering
Lau F.D.-H.; Adams N.M.; Girolami M.A.; Butler L.J.; Elshafie M.Z.E.B. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Article)We explore the role of statistics for Big Data analysis arising from the emerging field of Data-Centric Engineering. Using examples related to sensor-instrumented bridges, we highlight a number of issues and challenges. ... -
The synthesis of data from instrumented structures and physics-based models via Gaussian processes
Gregory A.; Lau F.D.-H.; Girolami M.; Butler L.J.; Elshafie M.Z.E.B. ( Academic Press Inc. , 2019 , Article)At the heart of structural engineering research is the use of data obtained from physical structures such as bridges, viaducts and buildings. These data can represent how the structure responds to various stimuli over time ...
