Theory of liquid and plastic limits for fine soils, methods of determination and outlook
(2024)Albert Atterberg introduced various consistency limits (state transitions) for fine-grained soil in the 1910s. Of these, the liquid limit (LL) and plastic limit (PL) are ubiquitous in geotechnical engineering practice, ... -
Impact of Nitrogen Dioxide on Health with Particular Emphasis on Vulnerable Groups
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2023)Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a highly reactive gas and is primarily produced by the burning of fuel. It forms from emissions from cars, trucks and buses and power plants. Exposure to NO2 has been associated with adverse ... -
Laboratory hydraulic tensile strength correlation with strength-based brittleness indices for carbonate reservoirs
(2024)Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is the primary choice for stimulating petroleum reservoirs. Rock tensile strength and brittleness are crucial parameters required for screening candidate reservoirs and in designing successful HF ... -
Impact of Sources of Damping On the Fragility Estimates of Wind Turbine Towers
(2024)Fragility estimates in wind turbine towers have been investigated but the the effect of damping on fragility has not been studied. While damping can often be small, it can come from different sources for a wind turbine. ... -
Physics-Informed Neural Network surrogate model for bypassing Blade Element Momentum theory in wind turbine aerodynamic load estimation
(2024)This paper proposes the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), specifically Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), for dynamic surrogate modelling of wind turbines. PINNs offer the flexibility to model complex ... -
Intercomparison of marine tracer and catchment-based submarine groundwater discharge estimates for a karst aquifer
(2023)Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is a major source of solutes to the ocean. Consequently, the accuracy of estimates of the magnitude and seasonal variability of SGD is critical for the management of coastal marine ... -
Genomics Tools to Study Membrane-Based Systems
(2024)The learning objectives of this chapter are the following: - Designing an experimental plan for omics-based study for membrane-based systems - Omics tools to investigate microbial communities of membrane-based systems - ... -
There's no such thing as cycle traffic: a critical discourse analysis of public opposition to pro-cycle planning
(2024)Across a variety of low-cycling contexts, there are ambitious targets to reduce private car use and increase cycling to decarbonise everyday mobility practices. A component of many plans to achieve this modal shift is ... -
Comment on “A new approach to stabilization of calcareous dune sand”
(2023)The Discussers read with interest the paper by Ghadr et al. (2022) (the Authors); the research topic being particularly important for various regions of the world regarding the main goals of dust suppression and wind-driven ... -
Effect of chitin, chitosan and NaCMC biopolymers on the consistency limits of organic silt
(2024)With global concerns on carbon emissions, there is increased need for various eco-friendly alternatives to conventional (cement and lime) additives used in ground improvement applications. This paper investigates the ... -
Predicting the Compactability of Artificially Cemented Fine‑Grained Soils Blended with Waste‑Tire‑Derived Aggregates
(2023)This study investigates the possibility of extending the specific gravity ratio (SGR) modeling framework, originally developed for predicting the compaction properties of unamended fine-grained soils (with no binder) ... -
Examining the long-term reduction in commuting emissions from working from home
(2024)To develop effective climate strategies, it is necessary to model the long-term impacts of combined policy measures. This study examines how an increase in working-from-home (WFH) practices, coupled with higher private car ... -
Fish Friendly Micro-Hydropower: Centrifugal Screw Pump-as-Turbines
(2023)Significant attention has been placed on the development of pump-as-turbines (PATs) for low-cost production of hydropower in the micro and pico scales. Research has focused on the modelling and prediction of the performance ... -
Recycling Waste Heat from Industrial Wastewater Treatment Processes
(2023)Significant amounts of energy are consumed in heating water for domestic, commercial, and industrial activities. In addition, significant amounts of the energy transferred to water heating is still embedded in the wastewater ... -
A time and ensemble equivalent linearization method for nonlinear systems under combined harmonic and random excitation
(2023)An Equivalent Linearization technique, termed an Equivalent Linearization Time and Ensemble Expectation (EL-TEE) approach, is used to develop an alternative method for estimating the response of a nonlinear oscillator to ... -
Structural damping estimation from live monitoring of a tall modular building
(2023)The damping ratio is a key indicator of an individual structure's susceptibility to dynamic loads, including the level of discomfort experienced by the occupants of a tall building subjected to wind loading. While ... -
Hot-lime-mixed hemp concretes
(Springer, 2023)Hemp-lime composites are sustainable, low-carbon, non-loadbearing materials with outstanding thermal properties and high vapour permeability, used in new construction or thermal upgrades. The abundant pores in the ... -
Alkali fusion of bauxite refining residue (red mud-RM) to produce low carbon cements
(2023)This paper creates hydraulic binders using waste and a low energy input. Cements are produced with a bauxite refining residue (red mud-RM), blended with limestone and lime, and fused at temperatures from 600 to 1200 °C. ... -
Appraisal of Alum Sludge Waste for Low-Carbon, Calcium Aluminate Cement Production
(ISBN: 978-989-54499-3-4, 2023)Calcium aluminate cement (CAC) is the most used non-Portland cement, known for its rapid hardening and high thermal resistance. The difficulty in obtaining raw materials, mainly bauxite, has resulted in the current high ...
