Distribution-free stochastic model updating with copulas and staircase density functions
(2023)In stochastic model updating, a probabilistic model is assumed for the model parameters and its hyperparameters (e.g., means and variances) are calibrated to minimize the stochastic discrepancy between model outputs and ... -
Do tourists value different cycling infrastructure
(2013)This paper seeks to examine how tourists value different types of cycling infrastructure. An intercept stated preference survey that was carried out amongst tourists in Dublin, was conducted to answer this question. The ... -
Do tourists value different levels of cycling infrastructure?
(2015)This paper seeks to examine how tourists value different types of cycling infrastructure using the results from intercept stated preference survey that was carried out amongst tourists in Dublin. The attributes used in the ... -
Does it pay to work from home?

Does it pay to work from home? Examining the factors influencing working from home in the Greater Dublin Area
(2015)Encouraging working from home or telecommuting has long been seen as a means to encourage sustainable mobility. With i ncrease coverage of high - speed I nternet access and escalating transport costs, ... -
Drone image segmentation using machine and deep learning for mapping Irish bog vegetation communities
(2020)The application of drones has recently revolutionised the mapping of wetlands due to their high spatial resolution and the flexibility in capturing images. In this study, the drone imagery was used to map key vegetation ... -
Drying temperature and water content-strength correlations
(2014)For water content determinations on organic soils, several researchers have adopted lower oven-drying temperatures in the range 35?90?C (instead of the standardised range for mineral soils of 100?110?C) in order to prevent ... -
Durability of Alkali-Activated Materials Made with a High-Calcium, Basic Slag
(2021)Alkali activated (AA) materials have been investigated for decades as an alternative to Portland cement (PC) products. Most consist of a silicate waste activated with alkalis, which leads to lower green-house gas emissions ... -
Duration of strong ground motion affected by site conditions.
(2023)The duration of strong earthquakes plays an important role in seismic design. Many studies have dedicated to the strong earthquakes duration, but the existing researches considering the effect of site conditions is not ... -
Duration-dependent Fragility Functions for Seismic Damage and Loss Assessment of High-rise Buildings
(2023)The availability of large repositories of recorded and synthetic ground motions coupled with structural response simulation data in recent years has led to the increased popularity of data-driven models for seismic damage ... -
Dynamic Reliability-Based Design Optimization using Quantum-Inspired Algorithm and Probability Density Evolution Method Assisted by Change of Probability Measure Strategy
(2023)Dynamic reliability-based design optimization (DRBDO) is a promising design optimization approach for dynamic structures, when inherent uncertainties are involved in structural parameters and external excitations. This ... -
Dynamic response of Spar-type Floating Offshore Wind
Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are an alternative technology to harness the abundant wind energy in open sea areas. A FOWT structure consists of a floating platform, a mooring system, and a wind turbine structure ... -
Dynamic response of wind turbine tower assemblies
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2005)As wind turbine towers are composed of several flexible inter-connected components, it is important that the engineer has the ability to understand the dynamic behaviour of the system, including that of its components, in ... -
Dynamic responses and flow field characteristic of stochastic Burgers equation
(2023)Turbulent flow is a highly irregular motion which is usually described as stochastic process in engineering analysis and design, and Burgers equation as a turbulence model has been widely used in various fields. In order ... -
Dynamics of wind turbines including soil-structure interaction
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2012)This thesis investigates the dynamic response of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT) including Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) effects. Multi- Degree-of-Freedom (MDOF) HAWT models are proposed for dynamic analysis using ...
