EFFECT OF POZZOLAN PROPERTIES ON THE PROPERTIES OF BUILDING COMPOSITES
(2010)Pozzolans were used by ancient civilizations to enhance the properties of mortars and concrete and are now regaining popularity as sustainable, environmentally-friendly alternatives to cement. This paper studies the ... -
Effect of salt grain additions on fibrous peat consolidation
(2015)Peat has been considered a problematic geotechnical material, with extremely high water content, low shear strength and high compressibility. Although initially high, fibrous peat undergoes dramatic reductions in permeability ... -
Effect of temperature variation on Bayesian anomaly detection in model bridge experiments
(2023)Vibration-based structural health monitoring (SHM) focusing on changes in vibration characteristics has been studied to improve the efficiency of bridge maintenance and management. Particularly in long-term SHM, which ... -
Effect of the early dissolution of Al-phases in reactive industrial wastes, on the setting times and rheology of sustainable binders
(2022)Aluminium-containing minerals in industrial wastes are relatively common, and they have potential as pozzolans or geopolymer precursors for the production of sustainable cements. The availability of reactive Al plays an ... -
Effect of uncertainty in CPT end resistance on predicted monopile head load-displacement responses for offshore wind turbines
(2023)The increasing demand for renewable energy has led to the rapid growth of the offshore wind sector, leading to larger Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT) being developed in deeper water locations further offshore. The geotechnical ... -
Effect of varying component reliabilities on system reliability in flange-angle partially restrained steel moment connections
(2023)Load paths of lateral moment-resisting frames involve steel moment connections comprising several components such as angles, plates, bolts and welds. As per codal provisions, each component is designed on the basis of its ... -
Effective stress testing of peat
(2013)Recent peat soil problems, including failures of dykes, foundations and slopes in peat deposits, have focused greater attention on understanding the mechanical behavior of peat. Stability calculations routinely involve ... -
Effectiveness Assessment of Adaptation Measures to Build Wildfire Resilience of Road Networks
(2023)Wildfires have become a source of concern for society due to their increased frequency, intensity, and unpredictability. This has caused serious impacts all over the world, even in areas where this type of problem has not ... -
Effectiveness of draught reduction measures at improving building air-tightness
(2018)The building sector has a serious detrimental impact on the environment and reducing building energy requirements is an important environmental priority. Draughts (unmanaged air infiltration and exfiltration in buildings) ... -
Effectiveness of granular columns in containing settlement
(2014)Laboratory-based research studies and full-scale evaluations of the behaviour of ground improved with granular columns are ample regarding bearing capacity, but limited in respect to the settlement response. This paper ... -
Effectiveness of Smartphone Accelerometers for Inspection
(2023)Accelerometers are often used for inspection. With the rise of cheap accelerometers and their extensive use in smartphones there are opportunities to utilise such sensors for inspection and monitoring of our built ... -
Effects of cement kiln dust on physicochemical and geomechanical properties of loess soil, Semnan Province, Iran
(2022)For problematic soils, conventional (cement and lime) additives can provide the necessary improvements in geomechanical properties for various infrastructure constructions. However, these additives have a high environmental ... -
Effects of Climate Changes and Spatial Soil Moisture Variability on the Geomechanical Response of Segmented Buried Pipes.
(2023)Moisture content of soils as well as the geomechanical soil properties (soil modulus, ナ) are affected by seasonal fluctuations in temperature and rainfall. This phenomenon is even more amplified when we consider the climate ... -
Effects of decomposition on the compressibility of fibrous peat ? a review
(2013)Peat deposits are comprised of high organic content substances primarily derived from dead plant vegetation. Peat itself is not inert but undergoes continuous biological decomposition that causes progressive destruction ... -
Effects of Multiple Organic Dyes for Luminescent Down-Shifting Layers Application
(2017)High energy photons in the UV region are not efficiently used in solar cells and limit the overall efficiency of the cell. Luminescent Down-Shifting (LDS) layers can be used to convert the high energy photons to a lower ... -
The efficiencies of subsoils for on-site wastewater disposal with respect to endocrine disrupting chemicals
(2009)Septic tanks and other on‐site systems are a common means of disposing domestic wastewater effluent in Ireland. In assessing site suitability, subsoils below the percolation trench have an important role in attenuating ... -
Efficient Computational Methods for Probabilistic Damage Tolerance Design
(2023)Aircraft engine safety is influenced by material anomalies that can form during manufacturing melt and machining operations. These anomalies may occur at any location within a component and have led to catastrophic engine ... -
Efficient decomposition method for reliability analysis of coherent discrete systems
(2023)For the purpose of reliability analysis, the performance of many systems is modelled as a function of discrete component states. Examples include infrastructure networks such as transportation networks, power distribution ...
