Impact of water retainers in the strength, drying and setting of lime hemp concrete
(2012)Lime hemp concrete is a sustainable, carbon negative building material that can be used in certain applications lowering the environmental impact of construction. Hemp absorbs large quantities of mixing water (325% of its ... -
The impacts of climate change on groundwater recharge in low storativity fractured bedrock aquifers
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2020)The ongoing climate change is expected to cause an intensification of the hydrological cycle by enhancing the extreme events, thereby challenging the resilience of the groundwater resources. Additionally, it is well ... -
Implementations of Statistics, Probability, and Reliability in the Performance-Based Seismic Design of Structures
(2023)It is well-known that the main objective of building codes is to guarantee life safety by preventing the collapse of structures in major earthquakes. However, there is a knowledge gap about controlling structural damage ... -
Implementing Eurocode 7 to achieve reliable geotechnical designs
(IOS Press, 2013)This paper examines how the different measures to achieve safe and reliable geotechnical designs are implemented in Eurocode 7. These measures include: the use of the concept of geotechnical categories of take account of ... -
Implications of COVID-19 for future travel behaviour in the rural periphery
(2022)Background: The design, management and operation of transport systems is a complex activity and this has only been exacerbated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Concern has been raised over the likelihood of ... -
Implications of masonry infillヨrelated uncertainty on the optimal seismic retrofitting of existing buildings
(2023)Many research efforts have focused on developing multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) processes for selecting the optimal seismic retrofit alternative when several important decision variables (DVs) need to be considered. ... -
The Importance of Dynamic Effects in Progressive Collapse
(2010)This paper presents a methodology to assess the extent of damage to a multi-storey structure following localised collapse. This is accomplished through the design of an algorithm to track progressive collapse in a structure ... -

Improved geotechnical behavior of an expansive soil amended with tire-derived aggregates having different gradations
(2020)This experimental laboratory study examines the potential use of tire-derived aggregate (TDA) products as an additive to alleviate the inferior geotechnical properties of a subgrade deposit of clay soil with high ... -
Improved Perceptions of Autonomous Vehicles In Urban Mobility Environment Through Deep learning Object Detection Algorithms
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2024)Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) or self-driving cars have become the most exciting area of research in the field of transportation in the last decade. Implementation of AVs in real-world requires further investigation especially ... -
Improving internal erosion resistance of silty sand using additives
(2020)Seepage-induced erosion, leading to piping, is one of the most common causes of failure for earth dykes, levees and dams. Various soil improvement (mixing) technologies can be employed to improve the internal erosion ... -
Improving safety through statistical analysis of construction fatalities
(2023)The construction industry has the highest rates of fatalities, disabilities, and injuries & illnesses among all industries. While this situation has improved in some countries, for example the UK, to achieve sustained ... -
Improving seismic resilience of schools and educational communities
(2023)The sustainability of school infrastructure and the resilience of the educational communities to natural hazards is of paramount importance to provide the safety and protection from the various natural and man-made threats ... -
Improving the Mathematical Model for Luminescent Down-Shifting Layers by Investigating their Loss Mechanisms
(2017)A Luminescent Down-Shifting (LDS) layer is an optical approach to improve the solar cell’s optical response by using luminescent species doped in a polymer matrix material to form a thin layer to be deposited on top of the ...
