An objective framework for determination of the air-entry value from the soil?water characteristic curve
(2021)The air-entry value (AEV) suction, marking the transition between saturated and unsaturated soil mechanics, is arguably the most important parameter interpreted from the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC); its accurate ... -
Offshore wind-turbine structures: a review
(2013)This paper reviews various issues related to wind-power generation, one of the more popular forms of renewable energy, including attractions and challenges of electric power generation through onshore and offshore resources. ... -
On the calculation of offshore wind turbine load spectra for fatigue design
(2018)The present work researches on the definition of the load spectra used for offshore wind turbine low SN slope materials’ fatigue design. Uncertainty in the sample sized used to scale fatigue life is analyzed for the tower ... -
On the geotechnical design and use of peat bunds in the conservation of bogs
(Sfax, Tunisie, 2008) -
On the Modeling of Spar-type Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
(2013-07)In this paper an overview about floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) including operating conditions, property and applicability of the barge, tension-leg, and spar floating platforms is described. The spar-floating ... -
On the suitability of the Generalised Pareto to model extreme waves
(2018)Dealing with extreme events implies working with events that have low probability of occurrence. To characterize these, the peak-over-threshold method alongside the generalized Pareto distribution is commonly applied. ... -
Optimal transport pricing for Dublin
(PTRC, 1995) -
Optimising shared electric mobility hubs: Insights from performance analysis and factors influencing riding demand
(2023)In order to decarbonise the transport networks, systemic change is needed. One manifestation of this transformation is shared electric mobility, seeking to curtail car usage and ownership. This current case study aims to ... -
Optimization and Photostability Studies of Luminescent Organic Dyes for Solar Devices
(2018)The overall efficiency of a solar cell is limited due to high energy photons within the UV region not being used efficiently. Luminescent Down-Shifting (LDS) layers are used to convert the high energy photons to a lower ... -
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)
