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 ... -
Large expert-curated database for benchmarking document similarity detection in biomedical literature search
(2019)Document recommendation systems for locating relevant literature have mostly relied on methods developed a decade ago. This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents that ... -
Large scale compound parabolic concentrator for building integrated façade
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2023)This thesis presents the design, fabrication, performance and analysis of two façade integrated compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) for two different locations: Ferrara, Italy and Mayo Ireland. The research involves ... -
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 Quality Index for Optimizing a Safety Improvement Program
(2023)The Life Quality Index (LQI), a composite social indicator, was proposed as a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of investments in safety measures to enhance life quality. In the structural reliability field, the life ... -
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 ... -
Lifecycle operational reliability assessment of water distribution networks based on artificial neural network
(2023)In urban operation, a reliable water distribution network (WDN) is the foundation and various factors may undermine the reliability of WDNs. Due to the complexity and nonlinearity of WDNs, however, assessing the reliability ... -
Lifetime reassessment of offshore wind turbines using meta-models
(2023)Offshore wind turbines are usually designed for 25 years. After this period, there are various options regarding the further use of the wind turbines. One option is a so-called lifetime extension, i.e., to continue operating ... -
Lifetime seismic risk assessment of coastal highway bridges under corrosion, scour and liquefaction effects
(2023)Coastal highway bridges, particularly those with reinforced concrete members, are susceptible to chloride-induced corrosion in their lifetime due to the aggressive coastal environment. Such an adverse environment has also ... -

Light reflectance of concrete
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2013)A phenomenon known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect occurs where the air and surface temperatures are hotter than in their rural surroundings (Gartland, 2008). The UHI effect is a direct result of urbanisation whereby ... -
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 ... -
Limestone-filled, hydraulic-lime mortars for historic and traditional fabrics
(2019)Hydraulic lime (HL) mortars are considered compatible with historic fabrics and used in repairs. They consist of lime and clinkers (mainly belite). As belite hydrates slowly, some HLs develop strength for up to a year. ... -
Linear and non-linear spectral analysis of offshore lattice structures
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2000)Most of the offshore structures that are used in oil and gas exploration and production are lattice jacket structures. Until recently these structures have been sited in relatively shallow water, however, the trend now ...
