Barbados is heavily reliant on groundwater resources for its potable water supply, with over 80% of the island?s water sourced from aquifers. The ability to meet demand will become even more challenging due to the continuing climate crisis. The consequen...

Reinforced concrete slab-column structures, despite their advantages such as architectural flexibility and easy construction, are susceptible to punching shear failure. In addition, punching shear failure is a typical brittle failure, which introduces di...

A drogue is used to stabilise and straighten seismic arrays so that seismic waves can be well-received. To embed the effect of a cone-shaped drogue into the numerical modelling of the deep-towed seismic survey system, one surrogate model that maps the re...

Geomechanical modelling of the processes associated to the exploitation of subsurface resources, such as land subsidence or triggered/induced seismicity, is a common practice of major interest. The prediction reliability depends on different sources of u...

Many complex urban drainage quality models are computationally expensive. Complexity and computing times may become prohibitive when these models are used in a Monte Carlo (MC) uncertainty analysis of long time series, in particular for practitioners. Co...

In this study, applicability of a data-driven Gaussian Process Emulator (GPE) technique to develop a dynamic surrogate model for a computationally expensive urban drainage simulator is investigated. Considering rainfall time series as the main driving fo...

Wind conditions in South Africa are suitable for small-scale wind turbines, with wind speeds below 7 m.s-1. This investigation is about a methodology to optimise a full wind turbine using a surrogate model. A previously optimised turbine was further opti...
