"Vacuum consolidation improves peat ground conditions"
(2010)Trinity College Dublin is currently testing an innovative technique, known as vacuum consolidation, to improve peat ground conditions, as part of the National Roads Authority Fellowship initiative. -
Vacuum Consolidation in Peat
(2012)Vacuum consolidation is a ground improvement technique to induce settlement and increase shear strength by applying a vacuum pressure to the ground. A pilot vacuum consolidation field trial, covering a 10x10m area, has ... -
Validated TRNSYS model for forced circulation solar water heating systems with flat plate and heat pipe evacuated tube collectors
(Elsevier, 2011)This paper presents a validated TRNSYS model for forced circulation solar water heating systems used in temperate climates. The systems consist of two flat plate collectors (FPC) and a heat pipe evacuated tube collector ... -
Validating and estimating the benefits of introducing urban traffic control systems
(World Conference on Transport Research, 2013) -
Vibration control of spar-type floating offshore wind turbine towers using a tuned mass-damper-inerter
(2019)This paper investigates the use of a passive tuned mass‐damper‐inerter (TMDI) for vibration control of spar‐type floating offshore wind turbine towers. The TMDI is a relatively new concept as a passive vibration control ... -
Vibration Control of Wind Turbines: Recent Advances and Emerging Trends
(2020)The wind energy sector globally is expanding and developing technically at a rapid pace. Demand for renewable energy is soaring and there is a need for increasing the efficiency and design life of wind turbine ... -
Virtual Historic Centers: Digital Representation of Archaeological Heritage
(Springer Nature, 2022)Digitization and virtual representation of archaeology and architectural heritage potentially connects tangible and intangible cultural assets allowing for recording, conserving, and documenting cultural heritage. Process ... -
Water content determinations for peat and other organic soils using the oven-drying method
(2014)There has been much debate in literature over the past 60 years regarding an appropriate oven-drying temperature for water content determinations on peat and other organic soils. For inorganic soils, the water content is ... -
Wavelet‐based individual blade pitch control for vibration control of wind turbine blades
(2019)This paper proposes a novel individual blade pitch control strategy with the objective of reducing blade vibration. A wavelet linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control algorithm, which is an advanced modification of the ... -
Wavelet-Based Evolutionary Response of Multi-Span Structures Including Wave-Passage and Site-Response Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers. This material may be downloaded for personal use only. Any other use requires prior permission of the American Society of Civil Engineers.”, 2013) -
Wavelet-Bayesian hierarchical stochastic model for short-term traffic flow at noncritical junctions
(2008)In ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) equipped urban transportation systems noncritical junctions are often ignored in short-term traffic condition prediction algorithms as the traffic data collection systems in ... -
Weathering and consolidation trials on sandstones used in Irish Monuments.
(LNEC, Laboratorio Nacional de Engenharia Civil, Lisbon, 2008)The objective of this study was to assess the efficiency of consolidant treatments in improving the durability of Irish sandstones, particularly sandstones used in national monuments at Cashel, Clonfert and Clonmacnoise. ... -
What causes energy and transport poverty in Ireland? Analysing demographic, economic, and social dynamics and policy implications
(2022)Energy and transport poverty have been postulated as conditions linked by overlapping causal factors such as structural economic inequality or housing stock and affecting overlapping demographics such as family size or ... -
A wolf in sheep's clothing: Exposing the structural violence of private electric automobility
(2023)The world is running out of time to avoid cataclysmic climate impacts. Therefore, determining which decarbonisation strategies are more effective and inclusive in reducing anthropogenic dependency on fossil fuels is vital ...
