Rail Passengers' Preferences for On-board Wi-fi Internet Access
(88th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board, 2009) -
Rail passengers' preferences for onboard Wi-Fi internet access
(2009)This paper presents the results of a survey which was conducted on an Irish Rail service to ascertain how the value of travel time may change if individuals could partake in another activity while travelling. The survey ... -
Rampart roads in the peat lands of Ireland: genesis, development and current performance
(Leiden, Netherlands : CRC Press/​Balkema, 2008) -
Rampart Roads in the Peat Lands of Ireland: Genesis, Development and Current Performance
(2008)The construction and improvement of roads on peat lands has always been a challenging task in geotechnical engineering. Rampart roads, which are a particular feature of the bog roads in Ireland, are caused by the excavation ... -
Random field modeling of the mechanical properties of graphene nanoplatelets
(2023)In this work, a random field approach is employed to model the mechanical properties of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) consisting of multiple graphene sheets connected with van der Waals forces. GNPs share the excellent ... -
Random vibration and global dynamic analyses of nonlinear MDOF systems under combined additive and multiplicative excitation
(2023)The random vibration and global dynamic analyses of structures subjected to combined additive and multiplicative excitation are challenging issues. In this paper, the direct probability integral method (DPIM), as a novel ... -
Rapid Resilience assessment of a Transport Networks for Medical Needs
(2023)A healthy transportation network should be resilient in many ways and resilience for medical emegencies or needs are one of the important factors in this regard. This paper demonstrates for such resilieince can be rapidly ... -
Rational bridge maintenance decisions in urban areas
(2023)Bridge owners need to make decisions about their assets at various stages in the bridgeﾒs life cycle. Decisions at various project stages are based on different levels of information and various degrees of decision model ... -
A re-examination of the life and work of A.F.G. Kerr and of his colleagues and friends
(2015)Arthur Francis George Kerr’s life is reviewed and related to a previously published account. Kerr’s collecting activity is analysed using an expanded version of the Thai Biogeography Group’s database of collections. 8,666 ... -
Re-open our city and campus post-Covid: A case study of Trinity college Dublin, the University of Dublin
(2021)Dublin, Ireland, like most other large cities has undergone lockdown due to the outbreak of the coronavirus. Ongoing physical distancing requirements, as cities reopens, has resulted in a collapse to transit’s capacity and ... -
Reactivity of raw, pyroprocessed and GGBS-blended alum sludge (AS) waste for sustainable cement production
(2023)This paper investigates AS waste to produce a construction binder of low environmental impact. It studies the reactivity of AS so that it can be used instead of traditional (higher impact) binders. Currently, most construction ... -
Real time air quality forecasting using integrated parametric and non-parametric regression techniques
(2015)This paper presents a model for producing real time air quality forecasts with both high accuracy and high computational efficiency. Temporal variations in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels and historical correlations between ... -
Realistic system reliability estimates in design of levee systems
(2023)Reliability-based design of levee systems requires proper treatment of spatial variability in reliability analysis. In practice, this is often dealt with by standardized factors that represent the typical spatial variability. ... -
Reappraisal of soil extrusion for geomechanical characterisation
(2019)Reverse extrusion has been promoted over the past four decades for remoulded undrained shear strength (s u) measurement and consistency-limit determinations. The technique employs a uniaxial-compression test machine to set ... -
Reappraisal of the ASTM/AASHTO standard rolling device method for plastic limit determination of fine-grained soils
(2021)Given its apparent limitations, various attempts have been made to develop alternative testing approaches to the standardized rolling-thread plastic limit (PLRT) method (for fine-grained soils), targeting higher degrees ... -
Recent advances in nature?inspired solutions for ground engineering (NiSE)
(2022)The ground is a natural grand system; it is composed of myriad constituents that aggregate to form several geologic and biogenic systems. These systems operate independently and interplay harmoniously via important networked ...
