- The winner of 2018 Professor Adrian Long Award for the Best paper in ICE Journal (Northern Ireland category), the work uses dry-air circulation technique in triaxial tests for inducing high suctions in soil samples which is an improvement over the axis-translation technique with suction capacity of 1500 kPa. The technique opens up avenues for studying the wet-dry behaviour of geo-materials in an extended range of suction (>1500 kPa) and is being implemented in the EPSRC CACTUS project that aims in limiting the impact of a changing environment on the geo-infrastructure (EP/R005834/1).
