Performance investigation of light steel framing
No full textAs academic lead partner Professor Ogden and his team at Oxford Brookes University were responsible for a major research programme focusing on the development of light steel construction technology. Major industry funding in conjunction with EU support, facilitated a detailed understanding of the technology, and various demonstration projects including the then largest light steel framed building in Europe, constructed at Oxford Brookes University. The results of the work have been adopted by industry in order to innovate novel construction solutions. As a consequence light steel framing is now the favoured method of construction across the entire modular off-site buildings sector and in other mass market construction applications including site-built structural framing and infill walling. The value of the market that that has emerged in the UK during the census period is estimated to be £78 million per annum
Pearling: Testimony to an Island Economy
No full textOxford Brookes Archaeology and Heritage (OBAH) offers research, and consultancy services in archaeology, heritage and the ancient environment. OBAH undertook four major excavations on behalf of the Government of Bahrain between 2009 and 2010. The impact of OBAHs excavations and reports were instrumental in (a) the sites excavated being designated national monuments, protected under law, and (b) underpinning a UNESCO World Heritage bid by Bahrain in 2010. Pearling and its cultural landscapes in Bahrain was awarded World Heritage status at the 36th meeting of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in June 2012
Safer and more economical slender structures
No full textResearch, led by Oxford Brookes University’s Dr Mike Godley and Dr Rob Beale, into the design and analysis of scaffold structures has enabled a better understanding of their behaviour, higher standards of safety and improved design. The Group produced technical guidance to the HSE and authored the design guide TG20:08 (2008); the basis for scaffold design in the UK. The Group contributed to new Euronorms for scaffolding and the UK design guide is compatible with these. Furthermore, the Group informed a pan- European design guide for storage racking systems (2000) that later transformed with little modification into EN 15512 (2009). This is now the basis for the design of all such storage racks across Europe
The local socio-economic impacts of major power station projects
No full textThe Impacts Assessment Unit (IAU) at Oxford Brookes University has pioneered research on the local socio-economic impacts of major power station projects. Resultant insights have included:
• Increasing focus on socio-economic impacts in the assessments of such projects;
• Use of associated planning techniques and mitigation measures; and
• Use of the research by wide range of stakeholders, including developers, local communities, local authorities and various agencies (e.g. health, education etc).
Within the REF period these insights have been deployed in new power station impact research, recently (2011-2013) forming part of the successful EDF (international electricity utility company www.edf.com) application to the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) (now National Infrastructure Directorate within the UK Planning Inspectorate (PINS)) to build a new nuclear power station Hinkley Point C (Somerset), plus consultation studies for a new nuclear power station Sizewell C (Suffolk)
Learning Outside the Box: Designing Social Learning Spaces
No full textSocial learning theory asserts that learning involves constructing knowledge through dialogue with others. Traditional learning spaces designed with didactic pedagogies in mind are often not flexible enough to cater to the range of social learning activities promoted by educationalists in classrooms today.
This thesis investigates the interaction between social constructivist theories of learning and urban design, developing a body of social learning space design theory as well as space design principles which foster social learning in a university setting. The research uses an 'Enquiry by Design' methodology to develop the principles, basing this enquiry on two case studies: (i) a pilot study
analysing an existing social learning space; the Simon Williams Undergraduate Centre, and (ii) an ongoing masterplanning project at Oxford Brookes University's Gipsy Lane campus, Space to Think
