Barriers to Sustainable Transport in Ireland
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2011)This synthesis report provides an overview of the findings from the Assessing the Barriers to SustainableTransport in Ireland project and distils the conclusions outlined in the End of Project Report. The purpose of this ... -
Behaviour and Properties of Lime-Pozzolan Pastes
(2010)Lime pozzolan mortars have been used by numerous ancient civilizations of builders, and are now regaining popularity as environmental sustainable alternatives to cements for masonry and concrete applications. This paper ... -
Bicycle infrastructure preferences - A case study of Dublin
(2012)This paper examines infrastructure preferences for cyclists. While the culture of cycling in the UK and Ireland has experienced some growth over the past decade, particularly in the urban areas, much debate exists ... -
A binding composition and method for producing the binding composition.
(European patent agency, European patent agency, 2023)The present invention relates to binding compositions. Also disclosed are methods for producing the binding compositions and use of the binding compositions as binders, cements, and in concretes. Also disclosed are ... -
Biopolymer based soil treatment for geotechnical engineering applications
(Springer, Singapore, 2023)Biopolymers (natural polymers) are exuded by micro- and macro-organisms (bacteria, plants, etc.) and have been shown to affect the geotechnical engineering behavior and properties of different soil types for low dosage ... -
Briefing: Atterberg limits and peat
(2016) -
Briefing: Specific gravity of solids relationship with ignition loss for peaty soils
(2020)Peaty soils have an extremely high water content and a low specific gravity of solids (Gs) compared with most inorganic soils. Accurate knowledge of the Gs value allows void ratio computations for given water contents and ... -
Briefing: Water content determinations of peaty soils using the oven-drying method
(2022)In order to prevent possible charring, oxidation and (or) vaporisation of substances other than pore water, many researchers have adopted oven-drying temperature (t) values in the range 60–90°C for water content determinations ... -
Building Failure Consequences
(2011)The consequences of structural failures (caused by an accidental action) typically come in several forms: for example fatalities, injuries, structural damage, damage to contents, loss of functionality and environmental ... -
Building support for cloud computing in the Irish construction industry
(2010)The construction industry has been traditionally recognised as a fragmented sector associated with a poor level of implementation and penetration of Information Communication Technology (ICT) by Small to Medium Size ... -
A Case for Facade Located Solar Thermal Collectors
(2015)This paper explores the potential for façade located solar thermal collectors. Building typologies with limited roof space area are highlighted. A relationship exists between hot water consumption and the solar collector ... -
Case studies used in construction to achieve specific learning outcomes: The case of the embankments constructed for the approach to Limerick Tunnel, Ireland
(University of Missouri, 2013)This paper gives an example of a case study written for instructional purposes, in order to support the achievement of specific learning outcomes which include (i) identifying modes of failure and (ii) selecting appropriate ...
