This first aim of this work involved the modelling of the behaviour of unreinforced soils by the creation of a new constitutive model.The second aim involved the creation of a new composite soil-fibre model. Both models were compared against published and primary experimental data with success, and the former is implemented into the finite element software LUSAS.

Sole trader / computer technician
-
Jun 2009 - Dec 2012
Sole Trader, providing a computer repair service to the local community. Encountered a diverse array of challenges including marketing & promotion, analysis of current market & competition and communicating technical issues to the general public. Many of these issues only occurred towards the start of the business process, once I gained an understanding of the market, and once word of mouth spread the flow of business was consistent and regular.
