Research Interests

My main area of research is in the study of the dynamic behaviour of ground anchorage systems and particularly the numerical and physical modelling of such systems. Another area of interest is the research into compaction of soil and the benthic impact of trawling with the main focus on the modelling of the interaction between the sea-bed and the trawling gear.

Research Grants

• 1/02/2006- 31/03/2006 Principal Investigator with Dr R.D. Neilson for  a 220k Euros (approx. £145k) EC grant “Development of Fishing Gears with Reduced Effects on the Environment” (part of the 3M Euro DEGREE project with 12 other participants). The work is collaborative with Drs Barry O’Neil of the Marine Lab, Fisheries Research Station, Aberdeen and Leonie Robinson of the University of Liverpool. 
• 1/11/2003-31/5/2006 Joint grant holder with Prof A.A. Rodger (principal investigator), Prof M. C. Davies ( University of Dundee), Drs R.D. Neilson and A. J. Starkey of a £267k E.P.S.R.C. grant (GR/S21335/01). This is a 3-year investigation into the behaviour of soil nails placed in retaining walls using the centrifuge modelling technique and numerical modelling.
• 1/02/2003-31/2/2006 Joint grant holder with Prof A.A. Rodger and Dr R.D. Neilson of a £36k grant funded by Amec. This isa 3-year project investigation on the determination of the total bolt length using the current GRANIT system with a view to redesigning it as well as developing a mathematical model in order to be able to detect some faults in anchorages, which currently cannot be detected.
• 1/12/2003-30/06/2004 Grant holder of a £18,434 commercialisation grant funded by the University of Aberdeen. This is a 7 months project with a view of recoding the program for anchorage systems written in Matlab into C++.
• 1/02/2003-31/2/2006 University Studentship of a £36k. The project on the fundamental understanding of anchorage behaviour in particular the detection of the free length of prestressed anchorages.
