Wastewater as a thermal resource: Exploitation strategies, design methodologies & prototype development
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2020)The disruption of the climate was identified as one of nine planetary boundaries, and is one for which we are reaching the limits of safe operation on this planet. To that effect the European Commission launched the European ... -
Water content determinations for peat and other organic soils using the oven-drying method
(2014)There has been much debate in literature over the past 60 years regarding an appropriate oven-drying temperature for water content determinations on peat and other organic soils. For inorganic soils, the water content is ... -
Wavelet‐based individual blade pitch control for vibration control of wind turbine blades
(2019)This paper proposes a novel individual blade pitch control strategy with the objective of reducing blade vibration. A wavelet linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control algorithm, which is an advanced modification of the ... -

Wavelet-Bayesian hierarchical stochastic model for short-term traffic flow at noncritical junctions
(2008)In ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) equipped urban transportation systems noncritical junctions are often ignored in short-term traffic condition prediction algorithms as the traffic data collection systems in ... -
Weathering and consolidation trials on sandstones used in Irish Monuments.
(LNEC, Laboratorio Nacional de Engenharia Civil, Lisbon, 2008)The objective of this study was to assess the efficiency of consolidant treatments in improving the durability of Irish sandstones, particularly sandstones used in national monuments at Cashel, Clonfert and Clonmacnoise. ... -
What causes energy and transport poverty in Ireland? Analysing demographic, economic, and social dynamics and policy implications
(2022)Energy and transport poverty have been postulated as conditions linked by overlapping causal factors such as structural economic inequality or housing stock and affecting overlapping demographics such as family size or ... -
Wilting rationalism in technical decision making
(2023)Decision makers in diverse engineering disciplines, ranging from technical risk analysis and design to the development of risk-informed policies that impact on technology and society, benefit from the existence of a solid ... -
Wind Field Simulation and Fluid-Structure Interaction in Wind Farms
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2023)Wind energy as a renewable source has been a topic of immense interest over the past few decades. It is a well known fact that the wake structure influences the performance and operation of the wind turbines located further ... -
A wolf in sheep's clothing: Exposing the structural violence of private electric automobility
(2023)The world is running out of time to avoid cataclysmic climate impacts. Therefore, determining which decarbonisation strategies are more effective and inclusive in reducing anthropogenic dependency on fossil fuels is vital ... -
Workflow-induced uncertainty in probabilistic landslide hazard maps
(2023)Increasing complexity and capacity of computational physics-based landslide run-out modelling over the last few years yielded highly efficient model-based decision support tools, e.g. landslide susceptibility or run-out ... -
The Yield Behavior of Leighton Buzzard Sand in a Hollow Cylinder Apparatus
(2005)The yield behavior of Leighton Buzzard sand was investigated for different magnitudes of the three principal stresses and rotation of the major principal stress axis using a hollow cylinder apparatus. The magnitude of the ...
