Researching resilience in action: Matters of action research as ‘matters of care’

, 2022
This paper traces my Action Research (AR) journey and suggests a care perspective to AR. In my research that investigated the idea of resilience in disaster recovery, I engaged in a five-year collaborative inquiry of what it means to do resilience with a

Numerical Investigation of Parameters Influencing the Shear Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Beams

Buildings
This study investigates the shear damage mechanisms in reinforced concrete (RC) beams through non-linear numerical modeling. Using the Finite Element Method (FEM) in ABAQUS, a Concrete Damaged Plasticity (CDP) framework was validated against experimental

Modified Strut-and-Tie Model for RC Deep Beams Considering Size Effect and Longitudinal Reinforcement

Buildings
Accurate prediction of the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams remains challenging due to the complex interaction of multiple load transfer mechanisms and the pronounced size effect in quasi-brittle materials.

Jack the lion – the making of a film about action research as action research

, 2020
In the pages that follow, it will be argued that the process of action research and the production of a documentary film are structurally comparable. Based on this assumption, this text tells the story of the making of a film on action research.

A Novel 3D Reinforced Particle Model for Reinforced Concrete Fracture Assessment: Formulation and Validation

Applied Mechanics
Rigid particle models (PMs) that explicitly consider the influence of the aggregate structure and its physical interaction mechanisms have been used to predict cracking phenomena in concrete.

So you think you are doing action research? Indicators of enactment of participatory action research in higher education

, 2013
Action Research is being adopted as a research and project method for the higher education learning and teaching sector. A researcher new to Action Research may need to be scaffolded through the process of validating their research as Action Research ...

Direct Shear Tests and Capacity Model for Sliding-Type Splicing Connections in Widened Bridges

Buildings
In the widening of multi-span continuous concrete box-girder bridges, conventional splicing structures often fail to accommodate differential shrinkage and creep between new and existing decks, leading to transverse deformation and cracking.

Action learning for simulation design in project portfolios

, 2021
Accessing reliable data from within organisations is become more difficult as the business environment becomes ever more complex and there are increasing concerns about breaching 'commercial in confidence’ requirements.

Numerical and experimental simulation of dowel action across reinforced concrete (RC) cracks under two-directional loading

, 2018
The local and global behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members and structures may be affected by cracks and the capabilities of stress transfer mechanisms.
