Energy performance, environmental impact and cost of a range of insulation materials
(2021)The need for the selection of an appropriate insulation is becoming more important as environmental problems continue to grow. This paper investigates insulation performance in terms of heating energy requirement, environmental ... -
Using Floating Bike Data to Determine Cyclist Exposure to Poor Air Quality
(2021)Introduction: The World Health Organisation (WHO) claims that 9 out of 10 people breath air containing high levels of pollutants, while air pollution itself is responsible for around 7 million premature deaths every year ... -
Identifying Hotspots of Transport Disadvantage and Car Dependency in Rural Ireland
(2021)This paper explores the concepts of car dependency and transport disadvantage and the correlation between them in rural Ireland as a means of highlighting incidences of possible forced car ownership with the use of ... -
The influence of residual loads on the axial load?displacement response of piles in sand
(Transportation Research Board, Washington, DC, 2015)This paper investigates the effects of residual loads developed during installation on the axial load–displacement response of displacement piles at two sites. At the first site, open- and closed-ended piles ... -
A study of the parameters that determine the reactivity of sugarcane bagasse ashes (SCBA) for use as a binder in construction
(2020)This paper intends to contribute to the use of waste, as binder replacement, to lower the negative environmental impact of construction. Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) is an agricultural waste which has been reported as ... -
Micromobility and public transport integration: the current state of knowledge
(2020)Cities globally are grappling with the negative externalities of car travel and are therefore striving to move towards a more sustainable urban transportation system. The introduction and popularity of new personal transport ... -
Improved geotechnical behavior of an expansive soil amended with tire-derived aggregates having different gradations
(2020)This experimental laboratory study examines the potential use of tire-derived aggregate (TDA) products as an additive to alleviate the inferior geotechnical properties of a subgrade deposit of clay soil with high ... -
Discussion: A novel formula for the prediction of swelling pressure of compacted expansive soils
(2020)Recently, Elsaidy et al. (2019) have proposed a novel empirical model–that is, equation (6) in the original manuscript–for the prediction of the one-dimensional swelling pressure of compacted expansive soils. A total of ... -
Simulating a Transition to Autonomous Mobility
(2021)This study examined the transition from Traditional Vehicles (TVs) to Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) using microsimulation modelling approaches. For this purpose, the study first optimised the parameters of human driving ... -
Transitioning to low carbon and sustainable mobility
(2020)This report presents an investigation of existing evidence from academic research and international case studies to assess the suitability of available options and mechanisms to achieve a transition ... -
A Comparison of Soil Structure Interaction Models for Dynamic Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbines
(2020)This paper compares the dynamic response of an OWT structure where the below ground pile-soil behaviour is modelled using (i) the conventional API ‘p-y’ approach and (ii) the ‘PISA’ approach. A nonlinear aero-elastic code ... -
Briefing: Specific gravity of solids relationship with ignition loss for peaty soils
(2020)Peaty soils have an extremely high water content and a low specific gravity of solids (Gs) compared with most inorganic soils. Accurate knowledge of the Gs value allows void ratio computations for given water contents and ... -
Geotechnical properties of compacted biosolids for monofill design, As-Samra, Jordan
(2020)This paper presents the results of a comprehensive geotechnical laboratory testing for the assessment and design of a proposed biosolid monofill facility at the As-Samra Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Jordan. Previous ... -
Barriers to Sustainable Transport in Ireland
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2011)This synthesis report provides an overview of the findings from the Assessing the Barriers to SustainableTransport in Ireland project and distils the conclusions outlined in the End of Project Report. The purpose of this ... -
Greening Transport: Final Report
(2020)The vision of the Greening Transport project was to merge the technical evaluation of emissions from transport, and improvements in their calculation, with an assessment of the behavioural changes needed to realise reductions ... -
Examining transport needs in the Global South using a screening framework
(2020)Despite the increasing emphasis on the social aspects of transport externalities in the global agenda of public policies (UN, 2016), transport appraisals (ex-ante) are still strongly driven by economic and environmental ... -
Stabilization of sand with colloidal nano-silica hydrosols
(2020)Colloidal nano-silica (NS) hydrosols are electrochemically stabilized, polymerized amorphous silica in low viscosity solutions, and in the form of hydrated gels, silica globules or pellicles.Compared to applications ... -
Drone image segmentation using machine and deep learning for mapping Irish bog vegetation communities
(2020)The application of drones has recently revolutionised the mapping of wetlands due to their high spatial resolution and the flexibility in capturing images. In this study, the drone imagery was used to map key vegetation ... -
Examining public acceptance of autonomous mobility
(2020)Over the last decade, the technology adopted for the automation of transportation has advanced at a pace that now the emergence of Autonomous Vehicles (AV’s) might not be as far away as it was thought a few years ago. ...
