A data-driven approach for characterising the charging demand of electric vehicles: A UK case study
Abstract
the number of electric vehicles increases, the impact of their charging on distribution networks is being investigated using different load profiles. Due to the lack of real charging data, the majority of these load impact studies are making assumptions for the electric vehicle charging [...]- 1

Influence of railway loading on the performance of soil-filled masonry arch bridges
Abstract
Masonry arch bridges are found in large numbers on the rail networks of Europe and other parts of the world. However, the mode of response of masonry arch structures subjected to railway loading is little understood. To address this, an experimental study involving large-scale physical [...]- 0

Optimizing the valorization of industrial by-products for the induction healing of asphalt mixtures
Abstract
Self-healing within asphalt pavements is the process whereby road cracks can be repaired automatically when thermal and mechanical conditions are met. To accelerate and improve this healing process, metal particles are added to asphalt mixtures. However, this approach is costly both [...]- 3

Leakage monitoring using percolation sensors for revealing structural damage in engineering structures
Abstract
SUMMARY There is a continuous need for the monitoring of engineering structures, especially when scheduled inspections are difficult to perform or if they are too expensive. The present paper gives some results on the performance of sensors on the basis of percolation thresholds [...]- 0

Towards smart grids: Identifying the risks that arise from the integration of energy and transport supply chains
Abstract
This paper identifies the risks for the functionality and reliability of the grid that arise from the integration of the transport and supply chain. The electrification of transport is a promising option for the transition to a low carbon energy and transport system. But on the short [...]- 4

The cost of pipeling climate change mitigation : an overview of the economics of CH4, CO2 and H2 transportation
Abstract
Gases like CH4, CO2 and H2 may play a key role in establishing a sustainable energy system: CH4 is the least carbon-intensive fossil energy resource; CO2 capture and storage can significantly reduce the climate footprint of especially fossil-based electricity generation; and the use [...]- 1

Liquefaction fragility of sewer pipes derived from the case study of Urayasu (Japan)
Abstract
The damage on supply and drainage water networks is a serious cause of economic disruption for urban systems affected by earthquakes. Among various concerns, the ruptures of sewer pipes and manholes generated by liquefaction determine a particularly severe sanitary hazard and require [...]- 8
