(2015)This research examines the behavior of cyclists in Dublin City with specific regard to red light running. A number of specific research questions are raised by this study. These quest ions address the impact of different ... -
An investigation in axial cyclic loading on aged piles in sand
(2021)In recent years, there has been a significant push to develop optimized pile designs in the offshore industry, driven by the growth of offshore wind. One of the largest remaining uncertainties governing axial pile design ... -
An Investigation into Irish historical ceramics: the brick of Arch Hall, Wilkinstown, Co. Meath
(Royal Irish Academy, 2005)A letter written in 1710 by Robert, first Viscount Molesworth, to his wife describes ongoing work to the garden of their estate in Co. Dublin and to the digging of ponds and the subsequent making of bricks. This connection ... -
An Investigation into the Aspiration Efficiency of Building Ventilation System Inlets for Reducing Energy Consumption in Air Filtration Systems
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2023)The built environment has been widely recognised as one of the largest energy consumers in the modern world, negatively impacting the environment and contributing to climate change. A disaggregation of the energy consuming ... -
An investigation into the causes, impacts and measures to deal with diatom bloom in Vartry Reservoir
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2019)In Ireland, there are more than 12,000 lakes and lakes and reservoirs are the main source of drinking water for two million people.
