Structural damping estimation from live monitoring of a tall modular building
(2023)The damping ratio is a key indicator of an individual structure's susceptibility to dynamic loads, including the level of discomfort experienced by the occupants of a tall building subjected to wind loading. While ... -
A study of the durability of OPC vs. GGBS concrete on exposure to silage effluent
(American Society of Civil engineers, 2008)Ordinary portland cement (OPC) has been traditionally used in the construction of concrete silos in Ireland. However, the aggressive nature of the effluent produced by silage leads to severe degradation of the concrete. ... -
A study of the parameters that determine the reactivity of sugarcane bagasse ashes (SCBA) for use as a binder in construction
(2020)This paper intends to contribute to the use of waste, as binder replacement, to lower the negative environmental impact of construction. Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) is an agricultural waste which has been reported as ... -
A study of the workability of natural hydraulic lime mortars and its influence on strength
(Springer, 2008)Lime mortars are currently used for both repairs to historic buildings and new construction. An important mortar property is workability. Lime mortars are often described as highly workable, however, due to the many ... -
A study of wind-wave misalignment for the Irish coastline and its effect on the wind turbine response
(2022)A wind turbine is one of the largest rotating structures on earth. More wind turbines are now being developed with taller towers and longer blades, making them more flexible. As a result, an offshore wind turbine can ... -
Suitability of a high-calcium slag for alkali activation, and strength and microstructure of the resultant materials.
(2022)We study the feasibility of producing building materials by activating an Irish slag with alkali-metal activators. The slag is highly amorphous and basic (CaO+ MgO/SiO2=1.56), with CaO/SiO2=1.41 and Al2O3/SiO2=0.34 which ... -
Surrogate infill criteria for operational fatigue reliability analysis
(2018)Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) fatigue damage is an intense, resource demanding task. While the current methodologies to design OWT to fatigue are quite limited in the way and amount of uncertainty they can ... -
Sustainability of combined vacuum and surcharge preloading
(ASCE, Reston, VA, USA, 2014)This paper presents a review of combined vacuum consolidation and surcharge preloading which is arguably more sustainable approach to soft-soil ground improvement than other strategies in reducing post-construction ... -
Sustainable environmental geotechnics practices for a green economy
(2022)The revitalisation of the global economy after the Covid-19 era presents environmental geotechnics with the opportunity to reinforce the need for a change in paradigm towards a green, circular economy and to promote ...
