Laboratory hydraulic tensile strength correlation with strength-based brittleness indices for carbonate reservoirs
(2024)Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is the primary choice for stimulating petroleum reservoirs. Rock tensile strength and brittleness are crucial parameters required for screening candidate reservoirs and in designing successful HF ... -
Langevin Dynamics for Importance Sampling in Reliability Analysis
(2023)Importance Sampling (IS) is a popular simulation method for the reliability analysis of general engineering systems. Its core idea is to build a biased density that can sample from the failure domain more frequently than ... -
Leveraging data-driven approaches to explore the effect of various disaster policies on post-earthquake household relocation decision making
(2023)Earthquake events can cause affected households to relocate. Post-earthquake relocation disrupts displaced householdsメ social ties as well as their access to affordable services. Simulation models that capture post-earthquake ... -
Life-Cycle Residual Performance Assessment of Concrete Bridges Considering Spatial Variability of Corrosion
(2023)A recent SEI/ASCE survey highlights that advanced life-cycle models for deteriorating structures are well established for some of the most detrimental damage processes (e.g. corrosion). However, reliability assessment ... -
Lime mortars for masonry repair: Analytical science and laboratory testing versus practical experience
(2006)This paper addresses the decay and performance of lime mortars used for repairs to masonry fabrics. It sets out how analytical science, laboratory testing and practical experience contribute to the diagnosis of mortar ... -
Material Flow Accounting in an Irish City-Region 1992-2002
(Elsevier, 2011)This paper aims to measure raw material inputs and waste flows in an Irish city-region in order to analyse (i) whether there was absolute dematerialisation in the particular case-study over the period 1992-2002 and (ii) ... -
Measuring risk of attack on bus networks
(2008)Public transport systems are at risk from attacks as they are open, dynamic systems carrying large numbers of people. Although attacks have been carried out on public transport since the 1920?s, the nature of attacks has ... -
Measuring the Transport Patterns of Those Living in Deprived Areas in Dublin, Ireland
(2012)This paper examines the relationship between social deprivation and travel patterns . Many studies ha ve examined the relationsh ip between deprivation and travel patterns , but few have compared those in the most ... -
Mechanical and fluid transfer properties of some lime and Portland cement mortars.
(Taylor and Francis Group, London., 2009)The type of binder determines mortar properties, and these impact the durability of masonry. This paper intends to assist on the choice of mortar for a particular fabric, by investigating the properties of mortars made ... -
Mechanical Properties and Slope Stability of Dewatered Digested Sewage Sludge
(MEngSc thesis (Supervisor Dr. T.F. Widdis; Extern Prof. A. Coul), University College DublinUniversity College Dublin, Engineering, 1995)The necessity for economically feasible landfill operations for the safe disposal/use of municipal sludges has become of paramount importance as a result of increasing environmental requirements augmenting the quantities ... -
Mechanics-based fragility assessment of existing prestressed concrete bridges under traffic loads
(2023)After catastrophic collapse of several major bridges in Italy, the safety evaluation and retrofit interventions on existing bridges became a top priority for the engineering community, road management companies and government. ...
