Facade integrated concrete solar collectors
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2018)Concrete solar collectors are a type of solar thermal collector that are formed by embedding pipes within a layer of concrete that acts as the solar energy absorber. Concrete is a cheap, durable and abundant material that ... -
Facilitating optimal people-centered risk-informed infrastructure design in growing cities, through a holistic lens
(2023)Past events around the world have highlighted the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to natural and anthropogenic hazards, which result in disruptions that have significant societal consequences. Many previous studies ... -
Factors influencing e-cargo bike mode choice for small businesses
(2023)As a viable alternative to traditional and electric cars and vans, e-cargo bikes have the potential to improve the sustainability of urban logistics operations, particularly for last-mile deliveries. In this study, e-cargo ... -
Factors influencing preferences for real-time public transport information
(Association for European Transport, 2007)This paper presents the results of a study undertaken in Dublin, to ascertain preferences for real-time public transport information. This study examines the need for public transport information across three stages of ... -
Fallacy of wide undrained strength range at the Casagrande liquid limit
(2019)The liquid limit (LL), as originally proposed by Atterberg, is notionally the water content below which fine-grained soil ceases to flow as a liquid. In many countries, the Casagrande-cup approach is the standard procedure ... -
Fast perturbation-dependent reliability curves in traffic networks
(2023)Uncertainty characterisation and reliability analysis for high-fidelity models is often prohibitive due to the large analysis efforts it demands. This is particularly prevalent in highly complex systems that require costly ... -
Fatigue Assessment of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Tower under Wind-Wave Coupled Loading
(2023)Floating offshore wind turbine towers (FOWTs) shows promising possibilities in the exploitation of the affluent Aeolian source at the deep ocean. However, the taller FOWT is also highly prone to fatigue damage under the ... -
Fatigue reliability using a multiple surface approach
(2019)Reliability analysis for offshore wind turbine structural fatigue is an effort demanding task. The new trends in the design of these systems, such as, the usage of alternative computational fluid dynamics or finite element ... -
FEM non-linear modelling of cob using ANSYS

A field investigation into the mechanisms of pile ageing in sand
(2021)The design of axially loaded piles has been an area of focus for the offshore industry in recent years. A number of studies report substantial increases in the shaft capacity of piles driven in sand, known as pile ageing. ... -
Field measurements of horizontal stress on an instrumented pile in sand
(ASCE: Reston, VA, USA, 2006) -
Field tests on single piles subjected to lateral and combined axial and lateral loads
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2003)This thesis describes the results of full-scale instrumented field studies on laterally loaded piles embedded in a layered soil. The research centred around tests on (i) 350mm square reinforced concrete piles driven through ... -
Finite dimensional surrogates for extreme events
(2023)Finite dimensional (FD) models are developed for random processes X(t) with continuous samples. The FD models Xd(t) are deterministic functions of time and finite sets of random variables which are defined on the same ... -
A finite-strain hyperviscoplastic model and undrained triaxial tests of peat
(2017)This paper presents a finite-strain hyperviscoplastic constitutive model within a thermodynamically consistent framework for peat which was categorised as a material with both rate-dependent and thermodynamic equilibrium ... -
First Excursion Probability Sensitivity Estimation by means of Multidomain Line Sampling
(2023)The first excursion probability offers the means for measuring the chances that one or more dynamic responses of a structural system subject to stochastic loading exceed a prescribed threshold level within a certain time ...
