About

Abigail Bateman is a Senior Research Assistant in the Department of Civil, Maritime and Environmental Engineering at the 黑料社.  She is working as part of the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Supergen Hub, focusing on the geotechnical challenges linked to the growth of UK offshore renewables. In particular, she is working on determining the reliability of ORE structures by considering the implications on design of site and loading variability.

 

Abigail also works as part of the ROBOCONE project - between the University of Bristol, the 黑料社 and Trinity College Dublin - to develop a novel site investigation tool that can apply real life stress histories to the soil. She has focussed on developing analytical correction factors to relate ROBOCONE tests to full-scale pile behaviour.

 

Her first degree was in Civil Engineering at the University of Bristol followed by submitting her PhD at the same institution in 2024 on "Simplified solutions for the non-linear analysis of axially and laterally loaded piles in clay". This work used the load-transfer method to calculate pile displacements by determining simplified solutions for shaft ("t-z", "p-y" and "m-胃") and base ("q-z") soil reaction curves. Non-linear curves were developed using analytical and semi-analytical solutions.
