Identification and evolutionary response analysis of continuous and discrete structural systems using wavelet transform
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2006)Performance based design of structures require stringent serviceability criteria to be satisfied based on functional requirements and economic implications. Thus, performance evaluation of structural dynamic systems not ... -
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 ... -
Relative dose / exposure to air pollutants between modes of transport, while commuting to work in Dublin
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2008)Research was carried out into the relative exposure of commuters to air pollutants in Dublin between four modes of transport. These differences were determined experimentally by simultaneously sampling the personal exposure ... -
An investigation of the influence of daily activities and location on personal exposure to air pollution in Dublin : measurement, analysis, modelling and application
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2013)The research in this study was carried out to quantify real-time personal exposure to PM10 in a large number of individuals residing in the Dublin area. This was carried out in order to highlight activities and locations ... -
An investigation of the passive control of air pollution in the urban environment
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2013)Poor air quality is a universal problem in built-up environments and presents a continued threat to the health of urban populations. Vehicle emissions have been identified as the predominant source of urban air pollution. ... -
Evaluation of background concentrations of air pollutants in Ireland and the development of guidelines for local assessment
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2011)The values adopted for the background air pollutant concentrations in local air quality dispersion modelling studies have a significant effect on the accuracy of the overall result. Current practice regarding the data ... -
Hydropower energy recovery form the water supply network : feasibility, risk analysis, optimisation and implementation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2015)The provision of clean and reliable water supply is highly energy intensive. Recent research has focused on the development and application of energy and hydraulic efficiency measures to streamline water usage and improve ... -
Quantifying nutrient dynamics through a lowland karst network
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2014)In this thesis, hydrochemical methods are used in combination with hydrologic analysis to characterise and model the Gort Lowlands catchment in western Galway, specifically focussing on an interlinked chain of ephemeral ... -
Eco-hydrology of Pollardstown Fen, Co. Kildare, Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2008)Calcareous fens are wetlands that accumulate peat and have alkaline groundwater as their dominant hydrologic input. This combination of environmental characteristics produces an unusual type of habitat and a large number ... -

Capping transport emissions: A welfare analysis of a personal carbon trading scheme
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2012)This thesis presents the findings of a study to determine the welfare effects of a personal carbon trading scheme (PCTS) for the transport sector. A PCTS sets a limit on carbon and allocates free permits to all participants. ... -
Bike-ology: Evaluating inter-urban and rural cycling infrastructure
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2014)This thesis reports the outcomes of a study conducted to ascertain the benefits derived from different cycling infrastructure, in rural and interurban locations, for different trip purposes. -
The Role of Carbon Dioxide Emissions Information in Personal Travel Choices
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2015)This thesis presents the results of an examination of the role of carbon dioxide emissions information in the personal transport sector. With the widespread acceptance that human transport activities are contributing to ...
