Awareness of health impacts of NO2 and, potential responses to diesel vehicle bans and proposals to cease their production
O'Mahony, Margaret; Broderick, Brian (2019)Evidence of associations between ambient concentrations of NO2 and a range of effects on health has strengthened in recent years. On average, transport is responsible for 40% of NOx emissions influencing ambient NO2 ... -
Damping Ratio Estimation for a Slender Modular Building from Full Scale Ambient Response Monitoring
Fitzgerald, Breiffni; Broderick, Brian; Hickey, John (2023)The application of modular construction in tall slender structures is a relatively novel concept. Modular buildings with heights exceeding 130m have been successfully constructed by combining reinforced concrete cores with ... -
The Effect of Acceleration Signal Length on the Outputs from Modal Identification Methods
Fitzgerald, Breiffni; Broderick, Brian; Hickey, John (2023)The damping ratio is a significant factor influencing the dynamic behaviour of a structure. The safety, serviceability and habitability of a structure are all impacted by the damping ratio. Damping ratio does not relate ... -
Experimental and computational evaluation of modal identification techniques for structural damping estimation
Fitzgerald, Breiffni; Broderick, Brian (2022)The damping ratio is a key indicator of a structures susceptability to human discomfort due to dynamic loads. Computational models, wind tunnel studies and empirical data can provide estimates of the damping ratio of a ... -
Impact of Nitrogen Dioxide on Health with Particular Emphasis on Vulnerable Groups
O'Mahony, Margaret; Broderick, Brian; Hennessy, Martina (Environmental Protection Agency, 2023)Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a highly reactive gas and is primarily produced by the burning of fuel. It forms from emissions from cars, trucks and buses and power plants. Exposure to NO2 has been associated with adverse ... -
Integrated transportation and land use regression modelling for nitrogen dioxide mitigation
O'Mahony, Margaret; Broderick, Brian (2023)The transport sector has been identified as one of the main contributors to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution in Ireland. This research develops an enhanced Wind Sector Land Use Regression (WS-LUR) model to estimate NO2 ... -
Mitigation of wind induced accelerations in tall modular buildings
Hickey, John; Broderick, Brian; Fitzgerald, Breiffni (2022)This paper compares two methods of mitigating wind induced vibrations in tall modular buildings. Tall buildings experience wind induced motion which can result in serviceability and habitability issues associated with ... -
Mitigation of Wind Induced Accelerations in Tall Modular Buildings
Fitzgerald, Breiffni; Broderick, Brian (2022)This paper compares two methods of mitigating wind induced vibrations in tall modular buildings. Tall buildings experience wind induced motion which can result in serviceability and habitability issues associated with ... -
Model Validation for the Wind Response of Modular High-Rise Buildings through Full Scale Monitoring
Fitzgerald, Breiffni; Broderick, Brian (2022)For many tall building forms, habitability requirements associated with excessive acceleration response become a governing design criterion as building heights increase. This study considers the wind-induced acceleration ... -
Personal exposure to air pollution in office workers in Ireland: measurement, analysis and implications
Gill, Laurence; Broderick, Brian (2013)An experimental assessment of personal exposure to PM10 in 59 office workers was carried out in Dublin; Ireland. Two hundred and fifty five samples of 24 hour personal exposure were collected in real time over a 28 month ... -
Real time air quality forecasting using integrated parametric and non-parametric regression techniques
Misstear, Bruce; Broderick, Brian (2015)This paper presents a model for producing real time air quality forecasts with both high accuracy and high computational efficiency. Temporal variations in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels and historical correlations between ... -
Regression models for predicting the inelastic seismic response of steel braced frames
Broderick, Brian; Hickey, John (2022)This paper describes the development of regression equations to predict the peak inelastic drift and acceleration response of steel concentrically braced frame (CBF) building structures. A database of Engineering Demand ... -
Structural damping estimation from live monitoring of a tall modular building
Fitzgerald, Breiffni; Broderick, Brian (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 ...
