Design for Manufacture and Assembly with Design for Reuse
(Construct Innovate, 2024)This report examines the application of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) in Ireland, how this can be enabled through Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) and its relationship with Design for Reuse (DfR). MMCs ... -
Detecting and quantifying PM2.5 and NO2 contributions from train and road traffic in the vicinity of a major railway terminal in Dublin, Ireland
(2024)Air pollution from transport hubs is a recognised health concern for local urban inhabitants. Within the domain of transport hubs, significant attention has been given to larger airport and port settings, however concerns ... -
An Efficient Method for Calculating Hysteretic Dry Friction Response of Dynamic Systems Subjected to Combined Harmonic and Random Excitation
(2024)Many examples of dynamic analysis require modelling of dry friction. Often this is represented by a so-called Jenkins element or multiple Jenkins elements in parallel, which is sometimes termed a parallel-series Iwan ... -
Driving Green Change: Commercial Sector Adopting Electric Vehicles in Ireland
(2024)When examining pathways to decarbonise transport, one must examine users’ mobility and examine ways to enable them to adapt. Electric vehicle (EV) adoption is incentivised to help reach emission reduction targets; however, ... -
Understanding the determinants of bike-sharing demand in the context of a medium-sized car-oriented city: The case study of Milton Keynes, UK
(2024)Emerging modes of shared mobility like bike-sharing may significantly contribute to increasing the share of sustainable travel in medium- and small-sized cities. However, research exploring the bike-sharing usage determinants ... -
Discussion: Utilizing waste-shredded rubber pieces for improved foundation stability [Transp. Infrastruct. Geotech. 11(6), 3941-3968]
(2025)Wildfires have short- and long-term impacts on the geoenvironment, including the changes to biogeochemical and mechanical properties of soils, landfill stability, surface- and groundwater, air pollution, and vegetation. ... -
E-bike to the future: Scalability, emission-saving, and eco-efficiency assessment of shared electric mobility hubs
(2024)In car-dominated urban areas, shared electric micro-mobility offers a sustainable alternative to decarbonise and reshape mobility paradigms. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for evaluating Dublin’s e-bike ... -
Decarbonising Shared Mobility: The Potential of Shared Electric Vehicles
(2024)Car-sharing services offer potential to reduce dependency on private cars, and their electrification may decarbonise the transportation sector even further. This study estimates the potential emission reduction if shared ... -
Evaluating the readiness for electric vehicle adoption among the urban population using geospatial techniques
(2024)Electric mobility is critical to reducing emissions from transport and dependency on Internal Combustion Engine vehicles. This study attempts to model the suitability of the built environment for electric vehicle (EV) ... -
Driving as essential, cycling as conditional: how automobility is politically sustained in discourses of everyday mobility
(2024)Car-based automobility remains dominant across Europe despite the high energy requirements such a system embeds. This system is becom- ing increasingly problematised. As part of an alternative vision for every- day ... -
Statistical reappraisal of the wax and mercury methods for shrinkage limit determinations of fine-grained soils
(2024)Because of the hazards associated with handling mercury, most standards organizations have withdrawn the conventional mercury (displacement) method (MM) for shrinkage limit (SL) determination of fine-grained soils. Despite ... -
Corrosion fatigue analysis of NREL's 15-MW offshore wind turbine with time-varying stress concentration factors
(2024)Over the last twenty years, significant development in wind turbine technologies has led to a dramatic increase in the scale of wind turbines with many now beginning to be installed in offshore locations. Consequently, ... -
Estimating the performance of wind turbines misaligned with respect to the wind direction using a simplified CFD based approach
(2024)Wind direction in atmospheric boundary layer changes constantly. As such, the power extracted from the wind turbines in a wind farm is subjected to change. This change in wind direction impacts the wake pattern which in ... -
Validation of Acceleration Response Modelling for Modular High Rise Structures through Full Scale Monitoring
(2023)For many tall building forms, habitability requirements associated with excessive acceleration response become a governing design criterion as building heights increase. The application of modular construction methods ... -
Improved fatigue life of floating offshore wind turbine towers with tuned mass damper inerters (TMDIs)
(2023)Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are the largest rotating structures on earth. FOWTs are very flexible and dynamically sensitive, they are also installed in very harsh environments and exposed to stochastic ... -
Observer based pitch control for load mitigation and power regulation of floating offshore wind turbines
(2023)Most commercial wind turbines use proportional-integral (PI) collective blade- pitch control to regulate rotor speed in the above-rated wind speed regime. A significant drawback of this type of controller is that it ... -
Discussion: Development of a single-point method to determine soil plastic limit using fall¿cone data [Geotech Geol Eng 41:4473-4485, 2023]
(2024)This discussion article presents a critical appraisal of three empirical correlations developed via multiple regression analysis and presented in the Kayabali et al. [Geotech Geol Eng 41:4473–4485, 2023. https://doi.org/ ... -
Assessment of steel-fiber-reinforced segmental lining of Chamshir water conveyance tunnel, Iran: integrating laboratory experiments, field observations, and numerical analysis
(2024)The conventional rebar-reinforced concrete (RRC) segmented lining of the Chamshir water conveyance tunnel (CWCT) in Bushehr Province, Iran, has experienced significant damage issues. This paper presents a comprehensive ... -
