Monitoring of traffic related hydrocarbon concentrations
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2005)
The research completed represents an experimental investigation of atmospheric hydrocarbon concentrations in the Dublin area, of which very little reported data were previously available. There was a notable lack of ...
Confinement in wireball-reinforced concrete members
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2002)
Modern codes for the earthquake-resistant design of structures rely on the dissipation of seismic energy through deformations of pre-designated plastic hinge regions. In reinforced concrete members, it is of utmost importance ...
The modelling of electric vehicle driving cycles, usage patterns and an investigation of the environmental and economic impacts of electric vehicles
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2013)
The European Union has set a number of policy objectives to achieve a sustainable energy fiiture through measures to tackle climate change and to ensure energy security. Electricity as fuel for vehicle propulsion offers ...
Air quality monitoring and modelling at motorway and roundabout sites in Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2005)
EU legislation requires Ireland to set ambient air quality objectives, assess the ambient air quality, gather information on ambient air quality and make it available to the public, and to maintain or improve the ambient ...
The use of ICT to re-engineer purchasing in Irish construction
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2007)
The process traditionally adopted in the purchasing of materials in the construction
industry is investigated. There are millions of trading documents, such as orders,
delivery notes and supplier invoices, currently exchanged ...
The attenuation capacity of different subsoils receiving domestic wastewater effluent
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2005)
With the domestic wastewater effluent of approximately 400,000 dwellings in Ireland
being discharged to groundwater annually and about 25% of all water supplies in the
country provided by groundwater a risk of contamination ...
Field tests on single piles subjected to lateral and combined axial and lateral loads
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2003)
This thesis describes the results of full-scale instrumented field studies on laterally loaded piles embedded in a layered soil. The research centred around tests on (i) 350mm square reinforced concrete piles driven through ...
Analysis of wheel-rail contact forces resulting from vertical track irregularity
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2007)
The research that is described in this thesis is based upon the formulation and analysis
of mathematical models of railway vehicle and track systems. The objective of
the research carried out is to compile, and then apply, ...
Earthquake resistant hollow and filled steel braces
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2004)
The earthquake resistance of many building structures is provided by steel bracing members.
Although the use of tension-only concentric bracing is common, the behaviour of these systems is
not fully understood, and ...
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 ...
