Construction and built environment
The built environment sector continues to face severe challenges in the current economic climate, but by working together with industry, we can play a vital role in its stabilisation and growth.
Hardness Testing
Hardness of materials has probably long been assessed by resistance to scratching or cutting
Development of Accelerometry for Examinations in Skeletal Surgeries
This project aims to analyse patient's posture and pattern of movement before and after skeletal surgeries.
Development of a device with assist people with significant degradation in their memory
In this study a device consisting of a microprocessor, user interface and suitable integrated software will be developed to assist people with significant memory degradation to enable them to have an improved like experience.
Raman spectroscopy of White Portland cement
The grey colour of ordinary Portland cement is due to the presence of ferrite, the presence of which is unwelcome in White Portland cement (WPC)
Fire retardant clay-polymer nanocomposites - SUREFIRE
The SUREFIRE project was undertaken to develop a brand-new class of materials that provide strength, stiffness, hardness and fire performance properties to compete with conventional materials such as steel or concrete.
Building performance and renewable energy technology evaluation
At the Centre for Infrastructure Management, we can monitor and evaluate the in-service performance of buildings incorporating new energy efficient technologies such as photo-voltaic, solar thermal hot water and ground source heat pumps.
Energy in buildings
We specialise in optimising energy usage in domestic, industrial and commercial buildings, both newly built and retrofitting
