Clarke B (2016) The future of geotechnical and structural engineering research in Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Civil Engineering

 
Description The network ran a series of workshops with academia and industry to uncover the research challenges facing the development of infrastructure focusing on geotechnical and structural engineering aspects. At the end of the grant a further workshop was held at the Institution of Civil Engineers which led to a paper summarising industry's and academia's view of the challenges was published. This is being used to support developments in this area through EPSRC, UKCRIC and academia in general
Exploitation Route A paper has been published in an international peer reviewed journal and the paper is being used as evidence to support the development of strategic investment in geotechnical and structural engineering research
