Researchers from DARe's community presented 8 papers at the inaugural ICE Resilient Transport Conference in Manchester, September 2026, where nearly 200 people came together for knowledge exchange across academia, industry, and government.
This paper introduces PaveGNet, a spatiotemporal graph network that models fine‑grained pavement distress evolution by capturing spatial relationships, temporal dynamics, and external factors such as climate, traffic, and maintenance, providing a scalable, realistic approach for pavement assessment.
DARe co‑hosted a regional conference with the ICE North East Climate Action Group (ICE NE CAG), exploring how net zero carbon objectives can be embedded into infrastructure procurement.
This paper uses point cloud-based analysis to map and interpret long-term deformations in skewed masonry arch bridges, linking observed geometry to underlying kinematic mechanisms and challenging assumptions of rigid boundary conditions in skewed arch bridge assessment.
Prof Colin Herron, Newcastle University, shares his thoughts after attending the Innovate Zero Emission Heavy Goods Vehicles and Infrastructure Trials 2025.
The DARe Hub has collaborated with the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) to produce a new report, 'Delivering a resilient transport network'.
Embankments constructed from clays experience a suite of weather-driven deterioration processes that lead to a progressive loss of performance and eventually to failures. This study aimed to predict the time to failure of aging, deteriorating clay embankments supporting transportation infrastructure.
A leading cause of bridge failure is scour. Mitigating bridge scour is crucial for the longevity and safety of bridges, especially those spanning waterways. In this study the authors introduce a comprehensive framework for scour risk management.
DARe Hub Manager, Rose Bunker, shares insights from the CIHT Future Transport Event 2024
Dr Sam Cocking from the DARe Hub team shares why he got into structural engineering, what a typical day on DARe looks like, and his advice for fellow researchers.
