Knowledge Exchange
Honours Projects, supervisor for a number 4th year civil engineering students, carrying-out investigations and literature reviews on a number of topics related to Tay Road Bridge, Dundee Roads and Dundee Waterfront project:
2014-2015 New products such as energy efficient ‘cold-lay’ surfacing materials are in their development phase and plays a vital role in providing roads and footpaths that meet the needs of the user, are safe and give value for money.
2014-2015 Traffic assessment of new roads at Dundee Central Waterfront.
2014-2015 Applying minimum asphalt protection layer and binder thickness on waterproofing systems on concrete bridge decks for practical economic reasons and, in such cases, a number of premature failures have occurred when the asphalt has broken up and potholes have developed.
2015-2016 The reuse and recycling of reclaimed building demolition materials, road planning, crushed concrete and mineral by-products such as slags, furnace bottom ash (FBA) and the like and to encourage their widest application in roads and pavement design.
2015-2016 Using AutoCAD Civil 3D to design a roadway in accordance with the Manual of Contract Documents for Highway Works (MCHW), Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB).
2015-2016 Environmental assessment of the impacts that road projects may have on levels of noise and vibration. It includes on calculating night time noise levels, determining the extent of the study area and selecting appropriate traffic speed data.
2015-2016 Environmental assessment of the impact that road projects may have on local regional air quality. It includes a calculation method to estimate local pollutant concentrations and regional emissions for air including those for carbon.
