Biopolymer based soil treatment for geotechnical engineering applications
(Springer, Singapore, 2023)Biopolymers (natural polymers) are exuded by micro- and macro-organisms (bacteria, plants, etc.) and have been shown to affect the geotechnical engineering behavior and properties of different soil types for low dosage ... -
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 ... -
Modeling the effects of Construction Risks on the Performance of Oil and Gas Projects in Developing Countries: Project Managers' Perspective
(2022)Oil and gas (O&G) construction projects are considerably prone to risk due to their complex nature, environment, and the involvement of numerous stakeholders. Additionally, the increase in global energy consumption makes ... -
A study of wind-wave misalignment for the Irish coastline and its effect on the wind turbine response
(2022)A wind turbine is one of the largest rotating structures on earth. More wind turbines are now being developed with taller towers and longer blades, making them more flexible. As a result, an offshore wind turbine can ... -
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 ... -
Planning by Cycle Parking Type: A Cycle Parking Preference Typology for Cyclists
(2022)The purpose of this study is to develop a typology of cycle parking type preferences among a sample who have access to a cycle and travel within or to the electoral county of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland. Valid online ... -
Effects of cement kiln dust on physicochemical and geomechanical properties of loess soil, Semnan Province, Iran
(2022)For problematic soils, conventional (cement and lime) additives can provide the necessary improvements in geomechanical properties for various infrastructure constructions. However, these additives have a high environmental ... -
Appraisal of novel power-based extrusion methodology for consistency limits determinations of fine-grained soils
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland, 2022)The consistency limits (liquid limit LL and plastic limit PL) are among the most commonly performed tests in geotechnical engineering practice, being used for classification of fine-grained soils and in deducing other ... -
Flow in a large wind field with multiple actuators in the presence of constant vorticity
(2022)Study of wind farms is an area of active research. Researchers have proposed simplified wind farm models which define the wake structure in a wind farm and how they affect the performance of the wind turbines. Interestingly ... -
ANN-based bubble tracking algorithm for clay slurries containing large gas bubbles using X-ray CT
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland, 2022)Gassy clay is a widely-distributed natural composite material consisting of a saturated clay matrix incorporating large gas bubbles. This study aims to develop a novel method to non-destructively monitor the strain field ... -
Desire to work from home: Results of an Irish study
(2022)Large levels of working from home (WfH) were induced by social distancing and viral control measures undertaken to mitigate the Covid-19 pandemic. Representing an unpredicted change in the way large amounts of people ... -
Cyclic swell–shrink behaviour of an expansive soil treated with a sulfonated oil
(2022)The effects of a sulfonated oil (SO) stabiliser on the swell–shrink properties of an expansive soil were investigated through cyclic wetting–drying tests. The cyclic wetting–drying action led to the reconstruction of the ... -
Unconfined Compression Strength and Point Load Index dataset for Irish rocks

Discussion of ?Physio-chemical properties, consolidation, and stabilization of tropical peat soil using traditional soil additives ? a state of the art literature review? by Afnan Ahmad, Muslich Hartadi Sutanto, Mohammed Ali Mohammed Al-Bared, Indra Sati Hamonangan Harahap, Seyed Vahid Alavi Nezhad Khalil Abad, Mudassir Ali Khan
(2022)This discussion article provides commenting on the sections of the review paper by Ahmad et al. (the authors) concerning consistency limits determinations for peats and peaty soils, drawing on the writer’s experiences ... -
Examination of the reduction in natural frequency of laterally loaded piles due to strain-dependence of soil shear modulus
(2022)Society’s transition to low-carbon energy sources has resulted in significant expansion in offshore wind tech- nology. Most offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are founded on large-diameter steel tubular piles driven into ... -
Fluid inerter for optimal vibration control of floating offshore wind turbine towers
(2022)This paper proposes the use of a tuned mass damper fluid-inerter (TMDFI) for vibration control of spar-type floating offshore wind turbine towers. The use of an inerter in parallel with the spring and damper of a tuned ... -
Use of fall-cone flow index for soil classification: a new plasticity chart
(2022)Use of the Casagrande-style plasticity chart to classify fine-grained soils using Atterberg's liquid and plastic limits is ubiquitous in geotechnical engineering. This classification is dependent on the thread-rolling and ... -
Implications of COVID-19 for future travel behaviour in the rural periphery
(2022)Background: The design, management and operation of transport systems is a complex activity and this has only been exacerbated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Concern has been raised over the likelihood of ...
