Intermittent swelling and shrinkage of a highly expansive soil treated with polyacrylamide
(2022)This laboratory study examines the potential use of an anionic polyacrylamide (PAM)-based material as an environmentally sustainable additive for the stabilization of an expansive soil from South Australia. The experimental ... -
Analyzing the Effects of Weather on Light Rail Transit Performance in Dublin, Ireland
(2022)As climate change and greenhouse gas emissions receive increasing levels of attention, the need for sustainable transport solutions becomes increasingly apparent. The Luas is Dublin’s Light Rail Transit (LRT) network and, ... -
Using Automatic Vehicle Location System Data to Assess Impacts of Weather on Bus Journey Times for Different Bus Route Types
(2021)Weather has the largest collective effect on transport systems, affecting users of all modes at the same time over a wide area. The aim of the research is to use Automatic Vehicle Location System (AVLS) data to investigate ... -
Discussion: Effects of plastic waste materials on geotechnical properties of clayey soil [DOI: 10.1007/s40515‑020‑00145‑4]
(2023)The paper under discussion (by Hassan et al. (2021)) presents a comprehensive set of experimental results from standard geotechnical laboratory tests performed on a low-plasticity clay soil (CL) amended with between 1% and ... -
A field investigation into the mechanisms of pile ageing in sand
(2021)The design of axially loaded piles has been an area of focus for the offshore industry in recent years. A number of studies report substantial increases in the shaft capacity of piles driven in sand, known as pile ageing. ... -
Foundation damping for offshore wind turbines on monopile supports: a review
(2021)Today, an important challenge for offshore wind energy is to design efficient and reliable offshore wind turbines (OWTs). The overall damping of OWTs plays an important role in the design process as it limits the amplitude ... -
An investigation in axial cyclic loading on aged piles in sand
(2021)In recent years, there has been a significant push to develop optimized pile designs in the offshore industry, driven by the growth of offshore wind. One of the largest remaining uncertainties governing axial pile design ... -
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 ... -
A Review of Rapid Distortion Theory
(Materials Research Forum, 2022)With the depleting non-renewable fuel sources like coal and an ever-increasing demand for energy, we need to start looking into renewable energy sources. These are of paramount importance for a sustainable and green future. ... -
Post Covid-19 water and waste water management to protect public health and geoenvironment
(2021)The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has posed severe threats to humans and the geoenvironment. The findings of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (Sars-CoV-2) traces in waste water and the practice of ... -
Municipal solid waste management under COVID-19: challenges and recommendations
(2021)Covid-19 is proving to be an unprecedented disaster for human health, social contacts and the economy worldwide. It is evident that SARS-CoV-2 may spread through municipal solid waste (MSW), if collected, bagged, handled, ... -
Microplastics in soils: an environmental geotechnics perspective
(2021)Microplastics (MPs) are emerging persistent contaminants in the terrestrial subsurface, and evidence has emerged for significant effects of MPs on the biological and ecosystem functions of soils. Main MP sources include ... -
Environmental geotechnics: challenges and opportunities in the post-COVID-19 world
(2021)The outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic not only has created a health crisis across the world but is also expected to impact negatively the global economy and societies at a scale that is maybe ... -
