Recycling plastic waste in cement composites for construction. Engineers Ireland Journal
(2019)Gurbir Kaur and Sara Pavía explore the possibility of raising the amount of recycled plastic (34%) by replacing sand with plastic waste in mortars and concretes, as this would not only reduce plastic incineration and ... -
Recycling Waste Heat from Industrial Wastewater Treatment Processes
(2023)Significant amounts of energy are consumed in heating water for domestic, commercial, and industrial activities. In addition, significant amounts of the energy transferred to water heating is still embedded in the wastewater ... -
Reducing energy consumption and increasing filter life in HVAC systems using an aspiration efficiency reducer: Long-term performance assessment at full-scale
(2017)The concept of using an aspiration efficiency reducer (AER) in building heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to control particulate air pollution concentrations was previously demonstrated using a 1:4 ... -
Reducing the erodibility of sandy soils engineered by cyanobacteria inoculation: a laboratory investigation
(2023)Windblown and water-induced erosion cause substantial soil losses worldwide, especially for drylands. Any sustainable management program that increases soil organic matter and improves the stability of the crustal layer ... -
Regression models for predicting the inelastic seismic response of steel braced frames
(2022)This paper describes the development of regression equations to predict the peak inelastic drift and acceleration response of steel concentrically braced frame (CBF) building structures. A database of Engineering Demand ... -
The relationship between geometric design consistency and safety on rural single carriageways
(Association for European Transport, 2007)Rural single carriageways in Ireland tend to fall below current design standards and have higher accidents rates (per vehicle kilometre) than roads designed to modern standards. Resources are not available to improve ... -
The Relative Influence of Proximity to Fast Road Infrastructure, Accessibility and Deprivation on Crime
(Hindawi, 2018)Irish rural areas saw an increase in the number of burglaries in the period following the completion of a network of high speed motorway interurban routes. To test the hypothesis that the new fast infrastructure was ... -
Repair and Conservation of the Four Courts Dome
(2018)The Four Courts was built between 1786 and 1802. Fire events, the 1922 civil war, pollution and exposure have damaged the building’s fabric. A conservation project by the Office of Public Works focussed on the dome, an ... -
Repair mortars for masonry bridges
(2006)This paper addresses the decay and performance of lime mortars used for repairs to masonry fabrics. It sets out how analytical science, laboratory testing and practical experience contribute to the diagnosis of mortar ... -
Retrofit minipile system to increase the capacity of existing foundations
(IHS BRE Press, 2008)This paper describes a novel underpinning system incorporating Ankerbond and high capacity vertical piles bored through existing concrete foundations. A special cutting head, with three diamond tipped cutters, is used ...
