A Computationally Efficient Method to Determine the Probability of Rainfall-Triggered Cut Slope Failure Accounting for Upslope Hydrological Conditions. Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00603-023-03694-5We present a new computationally efficient methodology to estimate the probability of rainfall-induced slope failure based on mechanical probabilistic slope stability analyses coupled with a hydrogeological model of the upslope area. The model accoun... Read More about A Computationally Efficient Method to Determine the Probability of Rainfall-Triggered Cut Slope Failure Accounting for Upslope Hydrological Conditions.

Engineering Geology, 307, Article 106771. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enggeo.2022.106771Road networks in low and lower-middle income countries (LIC/LMICs) are rapidly expanding to enhance social and economic growth. The construction of a new road often requires cuttings to be made, especially in hilly topography. In LIC/LMICs, many prac...

Climate change risks to transport infrastructure (2021)
Report
Robson, E. (2021). Climate change risks to transport infrastructure. [Research paper for Northern Ireland Assembly, NIAR 227-2021]This paper discusses climate risks to transport infrastructure in Northern Ireland and how they will change with a changing climate. Adaption measures to improve the resilience of transport infrastructure to these climate risks are also discussed.
