Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Geotechnical engineering
  • Structural engineering

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geotechnical engineering, Pile, Structural engineering, Cone penetration test and Shear stress. His Geotechnical engineering research incorporates elements of Finite element method and Soil mechanics. His Soil mechanics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Stiffness, Foundation engineering and Shear.

His Pile study incorporates themes from Marine engineering, Foundation and Dynamic load testing. His studies in Dynamic load testing integrate themes in fields like Shear strength, Stress, Bearing capacity and Forensic engineering. His work focuses on many connections between Shear stress and other disciplines, such as Effective stress, that overlap with his field of interest in Site analysis, Pore water pressure, Soft clay and Load distribution.

His most cited work include:

  • BASE RESISTANCE OF JACKED PIPE PILES IN SAND (101 citations)
  • BASE RESISTANCE OF JACKED PIPE PILES IN SAND (101 citations)
  • A review of bridge scour monitoring techniques (93 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Kenneth Gavin mostly deals with Geotechnical engineering, Pile, Structural engineering, Offshore wind power and Cone penetration test. His Geotechnical engineering research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Stiffness and Finite element method. His Pile research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Load testing, Displacement, Dynamic load testing and Shear stress.

His work on Pier as part of general Structural engineering research is frequently linked to Frequency response, Jacking and Accelerometer, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Kenneth Gavin has included themes like Creep and Bearing capacity in his Cone penetration test study. The various areas that Kenneth Gavin examines in his Foundation study include Bridge and Forensic engineering.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geotechnical engineering (66.33%)
  • Pile (50.51%)
  • Structural engineering (32.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Geotechnical engineering (66.33%)
  • Pile (50.51%)
  • Offshore wind power (20.92%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Geotechnical engineering, Pile, Offshore wind power, Offshore geotechnical engineering and Soil structure interaction. Many of his research projects under Geotechnical engineering are closely connected to Field with Field, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His study with Pile involves better knowledge in Structural engineering.

His research in Stiffness intersects with topics in Shear, Material properties, Structural load and Bending moment. He interconnects Probabilistic logic, Parametric statistics, Permeability and Spatial variability in the investigation of issues within Finite element method. His study in Cone penetration test is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hammer, Uncertain data, Solver and Pier.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Monotonic laterally loaded pile testing in a dense marine sand at Dunkirk (20 citations)
  • Finite-element modelling of laterally loaded piles in a dense marine sand at Dunkirk (19 citations)
  • PISA design model for monopiles for offshore wind turbines: application to a stiff glacial clay till (15 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Statistics
  • Geotechnical engineering
  • Structural engineering

Kenneth Gavin mainly investigates Soil structure interaction, Offshore geotechnical engineering, Geotechnical engineering, Pile and Offshore wind power. Kenneth Gavin performs multidisciplinary study in Offshore geotechnical engineering and Field in his work.
