Damping Ratio Estimation for a Slender Modular Building from Full Scale Ambient Response Monitoring
(2023)The application of modular construction in tall slender structures is a relatively novel concept. Modular buildings with heights exceeding 130m have been successfully constructed by combining reinforced concrete cores with ... -
The Effect of Acceleration Signal Length on the Outputs from Modal Identification Methods
(2023)The damping ratio is a significant factor influencing the dynamic behaviour of a structure. The safety, serviceability and habitability of a structure are all impacted by the damping ratio. Damping ratio does not relate ... -
Experimental and computational evaluation of modal identification techniques for structural damping estimation
(2022)The damping ratio is a key indicator of a structures susceptability to human discomfort due to dynamic loads. Computational models, wind tunnel studies and empirical data can provide estimates of the damping ratio of a ... -
Facade integrated concrete solar collectors
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2018)Concrete solar collectors are a type of solar thermal collector that are formed by embedding pipes within a layer of concrete that acts as the solar energy absorber. Concrete is a cheap, durable and abundant material that ... -
Measuring the design of empathetic buildings: a review of universal design evaluation methods
(2016)Purpose: Universal design (UD) provides an explanation of good design based on the user perspective, which are outlined through its principles, goals, and related frameworks. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview ... -
Mitigation of Wind Induced Accelerations in Tall Modular Buildings
(2022)This paper compares two methods of mitigating wind induced vibrations in tall modular buildings. Tall buildings experience wind induced motion which can result in serviceability and habitability issues associated with ... -
Mitigation of wind induced accelerations in tall modular buildings
(2022)This paper compares two methods of mitigating wind induced vibrations in tall modular buildings. Tall buildings experience wind induced motion which can result in serviceability and habitability issues associated with ... -
Model Validation for the Wind Response of Modular High-Rise Buildings through Full Scale Monitoring
(2022)For many tall building forms, habitability requirements associated with excessive acceleration response become a governing design criterion as building heights increase. This study considers the wind-induced acceleration ... -
Multi-resolution wavelet pitch controller for spar-type floating offshore wind turbines including wave-current interactions
(2020)This paper proposes a wavelet multi-resolution based individual pitch control strategy for spar-type floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) and investigates its performance under joint wind-wave-current loads considering ... -
Structural damping estimation from live monitoring of a tall modular building
(2023)The damping ratio is a key indicator of an individual structure's susceptibility to dynamic loads, including the level of discomfort experienced by the occupants of a tall building subjected to wind loading. While ...
