Identifying the Characteristics of Households with Multiple Car Ownership
(2011)This paper examines the characteristics of households with multiple car ownership in Dublin, Ireland. Data from the 2006 Census of Ireland are analysed to ascertain the characteristics of these households. The analysis ... -
Impact of emissions information on mode choices in Dublin
(2013)The rise of smartphone applications within the transport sector has created new and exciting opportunities to provide users with a wide range of previously unavailable information services. The combination of journey ... -
Impact of water retainers in the strength, drying and setting of lime hemp concrete
(2012)Lime hemp concrete is a sustainable, carbon negative building material that can be used in certain applications lowering the environmental impact of construction. Hemp absorbs large quantities of mixing water (325% of its ... -
Implications of COVID-19 for future travel behaviour in the rural periphery
(2022)Background: The design, management and operation of transport systems is a complex activity and this has only been exacerbated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Concern has been raised over the likelihood of ... -

Improved geotechnical behavior of an expansive soil amended with tire-derived aggregates having different gradations
(2020)This experimental laboratory study examines the potential use of tire-derived aggregate (TDA) products as an additive to alleviate the inferior geotechnical properties of a subgrade deposit of clay soil with high ... -
Improving internal erosion resistance of silty sand using additives
(2020)Seepage-induced erosion, leading to piping, is one of the most common causes of failure for earth dykes, levees and dams. Various soil improvement (mixing) technologies can be employed to improve the internal erosion ... -
Individual Blade Pitch Control of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines for Load Mitigation and Power Regulation
(2020)This paper proposes a new strategy for individual blade pitch control to regulate power production while simultaneously alleviating structural loads on spar-type floating offshore wind turbines. Individual blade pitch ... -
Influence of the aggregate quality on the physical properties of natural feebly-hydraulic lime mortars.
(Springer, 2008)This paper examines the influence of the shape, average size and calcite content of the aggregate on strength, porosity, water absorption, density and capillary suction of natural feebly- hydraulic lime (NHL 2) mortars. ... -
Intermittent swelling and shrinkage of a highly expansive soil treated with polyacrylamide
(2022)This laboratory study examines the potential use of an anionic polyacrylamide (PAM)-based material as an environmentally sustainable additive for the stabilization of an expansive soil from South Australia. The experimental ... -
Introduction of a thermodynamically hyperelastic model for peat
(CRC Press, 2014)Peat is a complex geomaterial having extremely high water content, low shear strength and undergoes large deformations under loading. Based on the volume fraction concept, this paper presents a basic hyperelastic biphasic ... -
An investigation in axial cyclic loading on aged piles in sand
(2021)In recent years, there has been a significant push to develop optimized pile designs in the offshore industry, driven by the growth of offshore wind. One of the largest remaining uncertainties governing axial pile design ... -
Laboratory hydraulic tensile strength correlation with strength-based brittleness indices for carbonate reservoirs
(2024)Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is the primary choice for stimulating petroleum reservoirs. Rock tensile strength and brittleness are crucial parameters required for screening candidate reservoirs and in designing successful HF ...
