Using Floating Bike Data to Determine Cyclist Exposure to Poor Air Quality
(2021)Introduction: The World Health Organisation (WHO) claims that 9 out of 10 people breath air containing high levels of pollutants, while air pollution itself is responsible for around 7 million premature deaths every year ... -
Using Real-Time Spatial Delphi to locate Loading bays and Parcel Lockers
(2023)Urban logistics has become part of the citizensメ life, who often use e-commerce options to buy goods and groceries. The constant increase of this phenomenon which has been witnessed in recent years led to a consequent ... -
Vacuum consolidation field test on a pseudo-fibrous peat
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2012)Several different ground improvement methods have been used to improve soft highly compressible organic soils such as peat. Vacuum consolidation is a ground improvement technique developed in the 1950’s, in which the ... -
"Vacuum consolidation improves peat ground conditions"
(2010)Trinity College Dublin is currently testing an innovative technique, known as vacuum consolidation, to improve peat ground conditions, as part of the National Roads Authority Fellowship initiative. -
Validated TRNSYS model for forced circulation solar water heating systems with flat plate and heat pipe evacuated tube collectors
(Elsevier, 2011)This paper presents a validated TRNSYS model for forced circulation solar water heating systems used in temperate climates. The systems consist of two flat plate collectors (FPC) and a heat pipe evacuated tube collector ... -
Validating and estimating the benefits of introducing urban traffic control systems
(World Conference on Transport Research, 2013) -
Validating the current state-of-practice for seismic risk (and resilience) analysis
(2023)Regional risk analysis provides information for decisions made by communities, state and federal agencies, and the insurance industry. Model validation and updating are crucial since inaccurate predictions may lead to ... -
Value of more accurate urban weather prediction in the day-ahead energy market
(2023)Urban heat significantly influences human comfort and leads to additional energy use for space-cooling in built environments. The building sector has a high potential for cost savings and emission reduction by improving ... -
Vibration control of offshore wind turbines using tuned liquid column dampers
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2008) -
Vibration control of spar-type floating offshore wind turbine towers using a tuned mass-damper-inerter
(2019)This paper investigates the use of a passive tuned mass‐damper‐inerter (TMDI) for vibration control of spar‐type floating offshore wind turbine towers. The TMDI is a relatively new concept as a passive vibration control ... -
Vibration control of structures using active and semi-active tuned mass dampers
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2006)This study addresses the vibration control of tall and flexible structures, such as wind turbine towers (WTTs). Investigations into the use of single and multiple tuned mass dampers (TMDs) with passive, active and semi-active ... -
Vibration control of wind turbines with variable rotor sped and grid faults
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2014)The aim of this thesis is to propose, design and analyze vibration mitigation systems in wind turbines. Formulations have been developed to include variations of the rotational speed of the blades. The control methodologies ... -
Vibration Control of Wind Turbines: Recent Advances and Emerging Trends
(2020)The wind energy sector globally is expanding and developing technically at a rapid pace. Demand for renewable energy is soaring and there is a need for increasing the efficiency and design life of wind turbine ... -
Virtual Historic Centers: Digital Representation of Archaeological Heritage
(Springer Nature, 2022)Digitization and virtual representation of archaeology and architectural heritage potentially connects tangible and intangible cultural assets allowing for recording, conserving, and documenting cultural heritage. Process ... -
Volume effects in glued laminated timber beams
(2023)This paper discusses several aspects related to volume effects on glued laminated timber (GLT) beams, with focus on the combined effects of height and length on the bending strength. Challenges related to the prediction ... -
Vulnerabilities in Water Distribution Systems Using N-k Contingency Analysis
(2023)Adequate performance of water distribution systems is at the core of community resilience. Water distribution systems are vulnerable to a variety of hazards, as they are susceptible to direct physical damage (e.g., ... -
Vulnerability Assessment of Infrastructure Networks Following Earthquakes: The Fundamental Step to Assess Network Resilience and Functional Recovery
(2023)Disruptive events can result in devastating damage and interruptions in distributed infrastructure networks (e.g., Transportation network), affecting the lives and wellbeing of communities that rely on their functionality. ...
