Stabilization of a highly expansive soil using waste-tire-derived aggregates and lime treatment
(2022)This study investigates the combined efficacy of waste-tire-derived aggregate (TDA) materials and hydrated lime on the compactability, compressive strength and swelling potential of a highly expansive soil from South ... -
Assessment of climate change impact on the annual maximum flood in an urban river in Dublin, Ireland
(2022)Hydrological modelling to address the problem of flood risk corresponding to climate change can play an important role in water resources management. This paper describes the potential impact of climate change on an urban ... -
Review of the ecosystem services of temperate wetlands and their valuation tools
(2022)Wetlands constitute important habitats that provide several ecosystem services (ES). Wetlands have been termed the kidneys of the world for their water purification services and contain 20–25% of total soil organic carbon. ... -
Sustainable environmental geotechnics practices for a green economy
(2022)The revitalisation of the global economy after the Covid-19 era presents environmental geotechnics with the opportunity to reinforce the need for a change in paradigm towards a green, circular economy and to promote ... -
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 ... -
Customer engagement strategies in retail electricity markets: A comprehensive and comparative review
(2022)Retail electricity markets require development to ensure efficient and equitable pass through of wholesale electricity costs to customers. Customer engagement has been heralded as a concept to improve the wholesale-to-retail ... -
Discussion of ?Behaviour of a foam mixture as a lightweight construction material? [Int J of Geosynth and Ground Eng (2021) 7(3), 51]
(2022)The Discussers read the Authors’ paper with interest, having recently published findings on the geotechnical behaviour/properties of clayey sand–expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads mixtures [1]. The Authors purport a ‘new’ ... -
Chemically treated plastic aggregates for eco‑friendly cement mortars
(2021)The use of waste plastic as aggregate in cement composites can solve the problem of the disposal of waste plastics in a sustainable way, and it reduces the need for extracting traditional materials like sand and gravel, ... -
Long-Term Durability and Mechanical Performance of Alkali-Activated, Slag Cements
(2021)Alkali activated (AA) cements are considered less harmful to the environment than Portland cements (PC), as they consist of a silicate waste in lieu of a PC clinker, and this implies lower green-house gas emissions and ... -
Durability of Alkali-Activated Materials Made with a High-Calcium, Basic Slag
(2021)Alkali activated (AA) materials have been investigated for decades as an alternative to Portland cement (PC) products. Most consist of a silicate waste activated with alkalis, which leads to lower green-house gas emissions ... -
Significance: Properties of unfired, illitic-clay bricks for sustainable construction
(2021)Environmental impact is currently a global concern that needs urgent and effective measures to contain. Different sectors and activities contribute to environmental problems in many ways. In particular, the construction ... -
Pozzolanic and Cementing Activity of Raw and Pyro-Processed Saudi Arabian Red Mud (RM) Waste
(2021)This paper investigates the composition, properties and reactivity of a red mud waste generated in Saudi Arabia with a view to find alternative materials to replace construction binders of high environmental impact. The ... -
Fitness of a high-calcium slag for the production of alkali activated materials.
(ISBN: 978-989-54499-1-0, 2021)Alkali-activated (AA) materials are considered a more sustainable alternative to some traditional materials. This paper studies the feasibility of producing building materials by activating an Irish ground granulated blast ... -
Measuring the equity impacts of government subsidies for electric vehicles
(2022)A shift to electric vehicles (EV) is seen as one of the main methods to decarbonise the transportation sector. However, issues have also been raised regarding charging infrastructure, EV reliability and range, as well ... -
Recent advances in nature?inspired solutions for ground engineering (NiSE)
(2022)The ground is a natural grand system; it is composed of myriad constituents that aggregate to form several geologic and biogenic systems. These systems operate independently and interplay harmoniously via important networked ... -
Ultralightweight foundation system for peaty ground
(2022)Construction on peat deposits represents a major challenge for the geotechnical community. Waterlogged peat deposits have great potential for buoyancy generation. The premise of the present investigation is that this can ... -
Examining the socioeconomic outcomes of transport interventions in the Global South
(2022)This paper addresses a recurrent distributive issue of transport interventions and aims to develop a framework of an impact evaluation of transport projects particularly tailored to the Brazilian context. The methodology ... -
Briefing: Water content determinations of peaty soils using the oven-drying method
(2022)In order to prevent possible charring, oxidation and (or) vaporisation of substances other than pore water, many researchers have adopted oven-drying temperature (t) values in the range 60–90°C for water content determinations ... -
Assessing the impact of mobility on the incidence of COVID-19 in Dublin City
(2022)COVID-19 has had a major impact on the transport systems around the world. Several transport-related policies were implemented in short period of time to contain the spread of the pandemic. These policies had a major ...
