3D deformation and strain fields in drying kaolinite obtained from tracking internal bubbles using X-ray CT and ANN
(2024)Drying fine-grained sediments experience shrinkage and desiccation cracking that may dramatically alter their mechanical and hydraulic properties. This study adopts X-ray computed tomography (CT) to monitor the three-dimensional ... -
Achieving Sustainable Inter‐City Transport in Ireland
(2011)Over the past decade the Irish government has invested intensively in a large national motorway network. One of the side effects of this investment has been that now inter-city travel is now considerably cheaper and ... -
Adaptive Kriging with biased randomisation for reliability analysis of complex limit state functions
(2019)The present paper researches an innovative approach in the application of meta-modelling for reliability analysis. It consists in the usage of a priori knowledge about the problem being analysed in order to improve the ... -
Adopting the circular model: opportunities and challenges of transforming wastewater treatment plants into resource recovery facilities in Saudi Arabia
(2022)With the ever-growing population, water, energy, and resources need to be used carefully, reused, and renewed. There is an increasing global interest in resource recovery from ‘waste’, which is driven by sustainability and ... -
Air-tightness field data for dwellings in Ireland
(Elsevier, 2012)Air-tightness plays a major role in both building energy performance and indoor environmental quality. Ireland's National Methodology for the calculation of energy performance of buildings, the Building Energy Rating (BER) ... -
Alkali fusion of bauxite refining residue (red mud-RM) to produce low carbon cements
(2023)This paper creates hydraulic binders using waste and a low energy input. Cements are produced with a bauxite refining residue (red mud-RM), blended with limestone and lime, and fused at temperatures from 600 to 1200 °C. ... -
Alternative metrics for design decisions based on separating aleatory and epistemic probabilistic uncertainties
(2022)There is still much philosophical debate about whether a frequentist or subjective view of probability should be adopted. Some uncertainties (typically aleatory uncertainties) are naturally modelled using a frequentist ... -
Analysing the usage of a segregated interurban cycleway (Greenway) in Ireland
(2012)This paper analyses the usage of a pilot greenway in a rural environment in Ireland. The path is 42 km long and has several settlements and schools located along the route. A survey was conducted in five schools along ... -
Analysis of Luminescent Solar Concentrator Performance Using a Ray Tracing Algorithm: Modelling, Optimization and Validation
(2017)In this paper, the behaviour of a LSC doped with Near-Infrared Quantum Dots (NIR-QD) in an epoxy host material is modelled by a ray tracing algorithm under different iteration numbers. It is shown that by increasing the ... -
Analysis of the relationship between urban background air pollution concentrations and the personal exposure of office workers in Dublin, Ireland, using baseline separation techniques
(2011)Real–time concentrations of PM10 were monitored over a 24 hour period for a number of different subjects as part of an investigation to examine the influence of daily activities and locations on the personal exposure of ...
