Achieving Sustainable Inter‐City Transport in Ireland
(2011)Over the past decade the Irish government has invested intensively in a large national motorway network. One of the side effects of this investment has been that now inter-city travel is now considerably cheaper and ... -
Adaptive Kriging with biased randomisation for reliability analysis of complex limit state functions
(2019)The present paper researches an innovative approach in the application of meta-modelling for reliability analysis. It consists in the usage of a priori knowledge about the problem being analysed in order to improve the ... -
Air-tightness field data for dwellings in Ireland
(Elsevier, 2012)Air-tightness plays a major role in both building energy performance and indoor environmental quality. Ireland's National Methodology for the calculation of energy performance of buildings, the Building Energy Rating (BER) ... -
Analysing the usage of a segregated interurban cycleway (Greenway) in Ireland
(2012)This paper analyses the usage of a pilot greenway in a rural environment in Ireland. The path is 42 km long and has several settlements and schools located along the route. A survey was conducted in five schools along ... -
Analysis of Luminescent Solar Concentrator Performance Using a Ray Tracing Algorithm: Modelling, Optimization and Validation
(2017)In this paper, the behaviour of a LSC doped with Near-Infrared Quantum Dots (NIR-QD) in an epoxy host material is modelled by a ray tracing algorithm under different iteration numbers. It is shown that by increasing the ... -
Analysis of the relationship between urban background air pollution concentrations and the personal exposure of office workers in Dublin, Ireland, using baseline separation techniques
(2011)Real–time concentrations of PM10 were monitored over a 24 hour period for a number of different subjects as part of an investigation to examine the influence of daily activities and locations on the personal exposure of ... -
The anisotropy of Leighton Buzzard sand under general stress conditions
(2003)A hollow cylinder apparatus was used to investigate the inherent anisotropy and membrane penetration of Leighton Buzzard sand test-specimens. The degree of inherent anisotropy was found to be independent of the mean ...
