Optimizing the use of on-street car parking system as a passive control of air pollution exposure in street canyons by large eddy simulation
(2011)An investigation was carried out to establish the effectiveness of parked cars in urban street canyons as passive controls on pedestrian pollutant exposure. A numerical model of a generic street canyon was developed using ... -
Origin and technology of the Georgian brick at Fade Mansion, Dublin, built c. 1728
(2021)This paper studies the provenance and firing technol- ogy of the Fade Mansion brick. The microstructure was studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mineral associations and transformation were ... -
Origin of films on monumental stone
(Earthscan, 2006)This paper investigates the origin of superficial films on different rock types from rural and urban locations in Spain and Ireland, focusing mainly on oxalate films. There is little agreement on the origin of oxalate films ... -
An overview of the University College Dublin hollow cylinder apparatus
(2001)Most sedimentary soils are inherently ansiotropic. Their response to loading will depend on the directions of the principal stresses. In most geotechnical problems the principal stresses gradually rotate during loading. ... -
An Overview of the University College Dublin Hollow Cylinder Apparatus
(2001)This presentation is divided into two sections. First, an example showing the influence of the principal stresses on the strength and deformation characteristics of a soil is discussed. Secondly, an overview of a unique ... -
PALM: A Personal Activity Location Model of Exposure to Air Pollution
(Irish Epa, 2015) -
Parallel implementation of a transport network model
(Elsevier, 2005)This paper describes the parallel implementation of a transport network model. A `Single-Program, Multiple Data? (SPMD) paradigm is employed using a simple data decomposition approach where each processor runs the same ... -
Particulate phosphorus and suspended solids losses from small agricultural catchments: links to stream and catchment characteristics.
(2019)Excessive phosphorus (P) inputs from agriculture are well established as a contributor to freshwater eutrophication. Decreasing these inputs is an important step in improving the ecological state of impaired waters. ... -
Passenger Requirements of a Public Transport Ticketing System
(2005)Currently in Dublin the system of public transport ticketing is under review and there are plans to introduce a multi-modal, multi-operator ticketing system. It is planned that this system would be operated via smart card ... -
Pathways to decarbonising the transport sector: The impacts of electrifying taxi fleets
(2023)The impacts of climate change have prompted governments to pledge to introduce policies aiming to limit the increasing temperature. One of the strategies involves reducing and, eventually, eliminating internal combustion ... -
Peat Improvement Under Vacuum Preloading: A Novel Approach for Bog Roads in Ireland
(2010)This paper presents the preliminary findings of a TCD/NRA vacuum preloading field trial which is part of a research project into construction options for improving rampart roads. Vacuum preloading is a construction method ... -
Performance of embankments on soft ground: A1033 Hedon Road Improvement Scheme, UK
(CRC Press/Balkema, Leiden, Netherlands, 2008) -
Performance of Embankments on Soft Ground: A1033 Hedon Road Improvement Scheme, UK
(2008)This paper presents the response of the ground foundation during the construction of the approach embankments to a new flyover at Salt End junction, A1033 Hedon Road Improvement Scheme, UK. The site area was underlain by ... -
Personal exposure to air pollution in office workers in Ireland: measurement, analysis and implications
(2013)An experimental assessment of personal exposure to PM10 in 59 office workers was carried out in Dublin; Ireland. Two hundred and fifty five samples of 24 hour personal exposure were collected in real time over a 28 month ... -
A petrographic study of mortar hydraulicity.
(2008)The nature of the binder determines the mortar cohesiveness and its intrinsic bond, therefore it greatly impacts its physical properties and durability. In a binder, the hydrated material is mainly responsible for the ...
