Staff Profile

Background

Dr Colin Davie joined Newcastle University in 2004 as part of the Geotechnical and Structural Engineering Group in the School of Engineering. His research interests are broadly in coupled, multi-field problems of flow and conductivity in porous (geo)materials and cover fluid flow, heat transfer, electrical conductivity, chemical and microbial activity as well as mechanical responses, applying both numerical and experimental techniques.

He has a track record working in varied areas including:

• concrete exposed to elevated temperatures with applications in nuclear power plant structures and fires in tunnels and structures
• engineered barrier systems for sustainable urban drainage and for geological disposal of radioactive waste
• deterioration and dessication cracking of engineered soils with applications in stability of road and rail embankments and flood levees
• passive, responsive, variable-permeability materials with applications in construction and building skins

Colin's area of teaching revolves around geotechnics, geology and rock engineering for civil engineers and engineering geologists, as well as a little bit of concrete materials.
