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) ... -
