Quantification and optimisation of the benefits and risks of urban cycling
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2017)This thesis reports on a research project aimed at developing comprehensive methods for quantifying the benefits and risks of urban cycling, investigating the environmental exposures of cyclists and developing a tool for ... -
An investigation into the performance of septic tank soak-pit systems and alternative infiltration systems in low permeability subsoils in Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2014)In Ireland, domestic wastewater from oyer one-third of the population, or approximately 500,000 dwellings is discharged to on-site treatment systems.
