Properties of Alkali Activated Materials made with bauxite refining residue (red mud-RM) and blends of RM with fly ash (FA)
(ISBN: 978-989-54499-3-4, 2023)A bauxite refining residue (RM), both alone and blended with FA at 30% and 50%, is activated with alkalis (Na2SiO3 and Na2SiO3/NaOH) to produce geopolymer cements. Alkali-activated materials (AAMs)/geopolymers are a more ... -
Measuring the design of empathetic buildings: a review of universal design evaluation methods
(2016)Purpose: Universal design (UD) provides an explanation of good design based on the user perspective, which are outlined through its principles, goals, and related frameworks. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview ... -
Potential of spent fluid cracking catalyst (FCC) waste for low-carbon cement production
(2023)Spent fluid cracking catalyst (FCC) waste is produced to convert petroleum crude oil into gasoline, and its main component is a reactive zeolite known as faujasite. This paper studies low-energy treatments to enhance ... -
Hot-lime-mixed hemp concretes
(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 hemp ... -
Reverse extrusion test for fine-grained soil characterisation: internal flow pattern with ANN-enhanced particle tracking
(2023)The reverse extrusion test involves one-dimensionally (1D) compressing a fine-grained soil sample contained in a cup container of cross-sectional area A. The force Fe applied by the loading platen causes extrusion of the ... -
Converting optimum compaction properties of fine-grained soils between rational energy levels
(2023)This study introduces a practical energy conversion (EC)-type modeling framework capable of converting the optimum compaction properties of fine-grained soils between any two rational compaction energy levels (CELs). Model ... -
Pre and post Covid preferences for working from home
(2024)Working from home (WFH) is being seen as a potential solution to many contemporary problems from congestion to global warming and work-life balance. Since the 1970 s, it was assumed that when information technology ... -
Damping Ratio Estimation for a Slender Modular Building from Full Scale Ambient Response Monitoring
(2023)The application of modular construction in tall slender structures is a relatively novel concept. Modular buildings with heights exceeding 130m have been successfully constructed by combining reinforced concrete cores with ... -
Understanding domestic consumer attitude and behaviour towards energy: A study on the Island of Ireland
(2023)Attitudes towards renewable technologies and knowledge about energy consumption influences the adoption of sustainable energy systems across power, heat and transport. Research suggests that behavioural change strategies ... -
Optimising shared electric mobility hubs: Insights from performance analysis and factors influencing riding demand
(2023)In order to decarbonise the transport networks, systemic change is needed. One manifestation of this transformation is shared electric mobility, seeking to curtail car usage and ownership. This current case study aims to ... -
Travel time prediction utilizing hybrid deep learning models
(2023)Travel time prediction is vital to the development and maintainence of advanced intelligent transportation system technologies. The travel time on a road segment is dependent on various factors like dynamic traffic demands, ... -
Discussion: A fuzzy classification process for swelling soils [Transp. Infrastruct. Geotechnol. 10(3), 474-487]
(2024)This communication article presents a discussion of various fundamental points pertaining to the Toksöz Hozatlıoğlu and Yılmaz (2023) (the Authors) investigation [published in Transp. Infrastruct. Geotechnol. 10(3), 474–487], ... -
The Effect of Acceleration Signal Length on the Outputs from Modal Identification Methods
(2023)The damping ratio is a significant factor influencing the dynamic behaviour of a structure. The safety, serviceability and habitability of a structure are all impacted by the damping ratio. Damping ratio does not relate ... -
3D deformation and strain fields in drying kaolinite obtained from tracking internal bubbles using X-ray CT and ANN
(2024)Drying fine-grained sediments experience shrinkage and desiccation cracking that may dramatically alter their mechanical and hydraulic properties. This study adopts X-ray computed tomography (CT) to monitor the three-dimensional ... -
Enhancing the reliability of floating offshore wind turbine towers subjected to misaligned wind-wave loading using tuned mass damper inerters (TMDIs)
(2023)Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are the largest rotating structures on the earth. Dynamically sensitive structures such as these must be protected in these environments to ensure that they can continue to operate ... -
A comprehensive review of soil remolding toughness determination and its use in the classification of fine-grained soils
(2023)The remolding toughness property of fine-grained soil has not been investigated that much, mainly because it has not lent easily to direct measurement, with soil toughness usually qualitatively described. In practical ... -
Identifying optimal locations for community electric vehicle charging
(2023)This research seeks to identify suitable locations for deploying community Electric Vehicle charging points using a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based approach. The charging infrastructure is classified into ... -
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 ...
