Ultralightweight foundation system for peaty ground
(2022)Construction on peat deposits represents a major challenge for the geotechnical community. Waterlogged peat deposits have great potential for buoyancy generation. The premise of the present investigation is that this can ... -
Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis for probabilistic, global modelling of future tropical cyclone risk
(2023)Modelling the risk of natural hazards for society, ecosystems, and the economy is subject to strong uncertainties, even more so in the context of a changing climate, growing economies, evolving societies, and declining ... -
Uncertainty in Bridge Mode Shapes Based on Accelerometer Location
(2023)In Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), modal analysis of a bridge structure is commonly used to aid in understanding the vibration characteristics of the structure under various loading conditions. These modal analyses are ... -
Uncertainty quantification and guidance on the use of wind tunnel-informed stochastic wind load models for application in performance-based wind engineering
(2023)Probabilistic performance-based wind engineering (PBWE) is a state-of-the-art framework that allows for direct uncertainty propagation through the hazard, aerodynamic, structural response, damage, and loss models in assessing ... -
Uncertainty Quantification of Buckling Loads of Thin and Slender Structures Applying Linear and Nonlinear Analysis
(2023)The evaluation of the buckling load is a crucial issue when designing different types of structures. It is well known that buckling loads of structures are highly sensitive to random deviations from a nominal design, which ... -
Uncertainty Quantification of Semi Destructive Testing for chloride content assessment for a concrete bridge in maritime environment
(2023)Harbors play a major socio-economic role in almost all littoral countries with more than 80% of trade exchange and play also usually a key role for military defense. Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures in harbors are ... -
Uncertainty-aware surrogates for early stage design prototyping
(2023)Surrogate modelling is a powerful tool that can help to solve both inverse problems as well as acting as a tool for early stage rapid prototyping. It is possible to create surrogate models and visualisation environments ... -
Unconfined Compression Strength and Point Load Index dataset for Irish rocks
(Trinity College Dublin, 2022) -
Understanding Carbon: Making Emissions Information Relevant
(Elsevier, 2013) -
Understanding domestic consumer attitude and behaviour towards energy: A study on the Island of Ireland
(2023)Attitudes towards renewable technologies and knowledge about energy consumption influences the adoption of sustainable energy systems across power, heat and transport. Research suggests that behavioural change strategies ... -
Understanding the impacts of government spending on retrofits and buyouts to mitigate regional and homeowner impacts from hurricanes
(2023)Hurricanes cost lives, damage and destroy property, and devastate communities. Pairing mitigation tools with insurance improves resilience by reducing structural losses and speeding recovery. This study applies a computational ... -
Undrained shear strength-water content relationship for sewage sludge
(2013)Micro-fibrous organic clays include sludges and residues derived from municipal and industrial treatment processes. This paper studies the relationship of water content w against remoulded undrained shear strength sur of ... -
Undrained Triaxial Experimental Investigations and Hyperviscoplastic Modelling of Peat Materials
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2017)This PhD research includes two parts, viz. experimental investigation on the undrained mechanical properties of undisturbed fibrous peat and a finite strain constitutive model within a thermodynamically consistent framework ... -
Undrained triaxial relaxation tests on a fibrous peat
(Gothenburg, Sweden, 2015) -
Unified framework of stochastic structural dynamics: direct probability integral method
(2023)Stochastic dynamics of structures involves the topics of simulation of random excitation, random vibration analysis, reliability estimation and reliability-based design optimization. However, the existing methods only focus ... -
Uplift Resistance of Granular Anchors in Clay Under Undrained Condition
(2013)Granular anchors (GAs) are a relatively new concept in ground engineering and can be used to resist uplift/pullout forces and compressive forces in addition to the ground improvement provided. The GA consists of three main ... -
Uplift resistance of granular anchors in clay under undrained condition (Extended abstract)
(2013)Granular anchors (GAs) are a relatively new concept in ground engineering and can be used to resist uplift/pullout forces and compressive forces in addition to the ground improvement provided. The GA consists of three main ... -
Urban development : use of a neural network mode choice model
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2002)It is a requirement of the EU that member states undertake the development of urban transport in a sustainable manner. According to the EU the key elements in a sustainable strategy are: -- reduction of the adverse impact ... -
Urban freight in Dublin : an integrated policy framework for sustainable distribution
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2010)Urban goods movement is essential to life in a city. Every product and service we avail of must be transported from where it is sourced to where it is sold. At a wider level, urban freight transport is the engine driving ...
