"Vacuum consolidation improves peat ground conditions"
(2010)Trinity College Dublin is currently testing an innovative technique, known as vacuum consolidation, to improve peat ground conditions, as part of the National Roads Authority Fellowship initiative. -
Demand-side characterisation of the smart city for energy modelling.
(2014)This paper presents a new methodology for characterising the energy performance of buildings suitable for city-scale, top-down energy modelling. Building properties that have the greatest impact on simulated energy performance ... -
A Simplified Procedure for Sizing Solar Thermal Systems; Based on National Assessment Methods in the UK and Ireland.
(2014)Solar heating systems have the potential to be an efficient renewable energy technology, provided they are sized correctly. Sizing a solar thermal system for domestic applications does not warrant the cost of a simulation. ... -
Applications of biopolymers in dam construction and operation activities
(2015)The investigation of innovative and sustainable solutions is a continuing concern within civil engineering activities. The use of environmentally friendly materials in place of traditional chemical substances is a key ... -
Examining the changes in car ownership levels in the Greater Dublin Area between 2006 and 2011
(2015)The aim of this study was to examine the changing nature of car ownership in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) and to determine the character istics of households most likely to have changed ... -
Does it pay to work from home? Examining the factors influencing working from home in the Greater Dublin Area
(2015)Encouraging working from home or telecommuting has long been seen as a means to encourage sustainable mobility. With i ncrease coverage of high - speed I nternet access and escalating transport costs, ... -
The safety challenge of increased cycling
(2014)Many countries have recently set out policy frameworks to support the growth of cycling. However, increased cycling can mean more collisions, injuries and even fatalities. This paper discusses ... -
An examination of the quality and ease of use of public transport in Dublin from a newcomer's perspective
(Journal of Public Transport, 2011) -
Quantifying the perceived safety of cyclists in Dublin
(2015)In recent years, cycling has been recognised by policy makers and practitioners as a sustainable alternative to motorised travel. However, a lack of perceived safety associated with cycling may have inhibited its growth ... -
Customization of automatic incident detection algorithms for signalized urban arterials
(2014)Non - recurrent congestion or incidents are detrimental to the operability and efficiency of busy urban t ransport networks. There exist s multiple Automatic Incident Detection Algorithms (AIDA) to remotely detect ... -
Harmonization and status of geotechnical standards in Europe

On the Modeling of Spar-type Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
(2013-07)In this paper an overview about floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) including operating conditions, property and applicability of the barge, tension-leg, and spar floating platforms is described. The spar-floating ... -
Nonlinear Damage Identification in Fiber-reinforced Cracked Composite Beams through Time-space Wavelet Analysis
(2014)It is well-known that wavelet analysis is, in the space domain, an efficient way to determinate the damage location (Pakrashi et al., 2007; Loutridis et al., 2004), while, in the time domain, it is an efficient tool to ... -
Short-Term Forecasting of Bicycle Traffic Using Structural Time Series Models
(2014)Short term forecasting algorithms are widely used for prediction of vehicular traffic flows for adaptive traffic management. However, despite the increasing interest in the promotion of cycling in cities, little ... -
Quantification of submarine/intertidal groundwater discharge and nutrient loading from a lowland karst catchment
(2014)Summary Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is now recognised to be a process of significant importance to coastal systems and is of increasing interest within oceanographic and hydrologic research communities. However, ... -
Analysing the usage of a segregated interurban cycleway (Greenway) in Ireland
(2012)This paper analyses the usage of a pilot greenway in a rural environment in Ireland. The path is 42 km long and has several settlements and schools located along the route. A survey was conducted in five schools along ...
