PALM: A Personal Activity Location Model of Exposure to Air Pollution
(Irish Epa, 2015) -
Panel-Oriented Surrogate Model for Developing Class Fragility Curves for Transmission Towers
(2023)A panel-oriented surrogate model for classes (or portfolios) of transmission towers is presented. The surrogate model can be implemented as a beam-column element, whose validity is established through rigorous abstraction ... -
Parallel implementation of a transport network model
(Elsevier, 2005)This paper describes the parallel implementation of a transport network model. A `Single-Program, Multiple Data? (SPMD) paradigm is employed using a simple data decomposition approach where each processor runs the same ... -
Partial Factors for Displacement-based Seismic Design and Assessment Consistent with the Second-generation of Eurocodes
(2023)The second generation of Eurocode 8 introduces the displacement-based approach (for both design and assessment) alongside the traditional force-based one, which employs linear analysis and equivalent forces reduced to ... -
Partial Safety Factor for the Design Strength Prediction of Naturally Corroded Prestressing Strands
(2023)Existing reinforced and prestressed concrete structures are often affected by corrosion triggering high annual maintenance costs and impairing their safety, durability and serviceability. Although scientific studies have ... -
Particulate phosphorus and suspended solids losses from small agricultural catchments: links to stream and catchment characteristics.
(2019)Excessive phosphorus (P) inputs from agriculture are well established as a contributor to freshwater eutrophication. Decreasing these inputs is an important step in improving the ecological state of impaired waters. ... -
Passenger Requirements of a Public Transport Ticketing System
(2005)Currently in Dublin the system of public transport ticketing is under review and there are plans to introduce a multi-modal, multi-operator ticketing system. It is planned that this system would be operated via smart card ... -
Pathways to decarbonising the transport sector: The impacts of electrifying taxi fleets
(2023)The impacts of climate change have prompted governments to pledge to introduce policies aiming to limit the increasing temperature. One of the strategies involves reducing and, eventually, eliminating internal combustion ... -
Peat Improvement Under Vacuum Preloading: A Novel Approach for Bog Roads in Ireland
(2010)This paper presents the preliminary findings of a TCD/NRA vacuum preloading field trial which is part of a research project into construction options for improving rampart roads. Vacuum preloading is a construction method ... -
Performance of embankments on soft ground: A1033 Hedon Road Improvement Scheme, UK
(CRC Press/Balkema, Leiden, Netherlands, 2008) -
Performance of Embankments on Soft Ground: A1033 Hedon Road Improvement Scheme, UK
(2008)This paper presents the response of the ground foundation during the construction of the approach embankments to a new flyover at Salt End junction, A1033 Hedon Road Improvement Scheme, UK. The site area was underlain by ... -
Performance of high-strength concrete composite columns subject to earthquake loading conditions
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2011)Composite construction has been used in industry for decades due to superior load carrying capacity of the members compared with traditional reinforced concrete construction. A composite column is a structural member that ... -
Personal exposure to air pollution in office workers in Ireland: measurement, analysis and implications
(2013)An experimental assessment of personal exposure to PM10 in 59 office workers was carried out in Dublin; Ireland. Two hundred and fifty five samples of 24 hour personal exposure were collected in real time over a 28 month ... -
A petrographic study of mortar hydraulicity.
(2008)The nature of the binder determines the mortar cohesiveness and its intrinsic bond, therefore it greatly impacts its physical properties and durability. In a binder, the hydrated material is mainly responsible for the ... -
A petrographic study of the technology of hydraulic mortars at masonry bridges, harbours and mill ponds.
(Galileo Editions, 2008)Masonry mortars for underwater works such as bridge piers, harbours and mill ponds are of hydraulic nature. This paper investigates the raw materials and production technology of a number of these mortars. It focuses on ... -
Phase Change Materials for Solar Energy Applications
(Central West Publishing, 2019)Increasing levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy dependency on other countries have brought governments to develop and improve various ways of producing energy. There are many different methods of renewable ...
