NewsCivil Engineering infrastructure such as water and waste water systems and transport networks is expensive, and its value to society stretches over many generations.
Discover moreConcrete is relatively weak in tension and may require some form of reinforcement to cope with tensile forces.
Discover moreOptimising the serviceable condition of our infrastructure legacy and informing future resilience against climate change are today’s key challenges.
Discover moreSlope and slope related issues provide a critical challenge to civil engineering projects.
Discover moreImproving the monitoring and maintenance of current infrastructure, and developing predictive sensing systems for our next generation infrastructure.
