Effect of decomposition on the compressibility of fibrous peat
(ACSE: Reston, VA, USA, 2012) -
Mechanical Properties and Slope Stability of Dewatered Digested Sewage Sludge
(MEngSc thesis (Supervisor Dr. T.F. Widdis; Extern Prof. A. Coul), University College Dublin, University College Dublin, Engineering, 1995)The necessity for economically feasible landfill operations for the safe disposal/use of municipal sludges has become of paramount importance as a result of increasing environmental requirements augmenting the quantities ... -
The use of in-situ site investigation techniques for the axial design of offshore piles
(Taylor & Francis, 2012) -
Granular anchors under vertical loading/axial pull
(2013)Granular anchors are a relatively new concept in ground engineering with relatively little known of their applications, failure modes and ultimate pullout capacities. A granular anchor consists of three main components: a ... -
Effect of friction fatigue on pile capacity in dense sand
(2007)The paper presents the results of a series of field tests performed to study the causes of friction fatigue experienced by displacement piles. Four instrumented model piles were installed at a dense sand test-bed site. The ... -
Building Failure Consequences
(2011)The consequences of structural failures (caused by an accidental action) typically come in several forms: for example fatalities, injuries, structural damage, damage to contents, loss of functionality and environmental ... -
Assessing the Consequences of Building Failures
(2012)The consequences of structural failures, as a result of a hazard, can take several forms: from material/structural damage and human injuries/fatalities to functional downtime and environmental impact. Within a risk-based ... -
Modelling Progressive Collapse in Steel Structures
(Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2012)The partial collapse of the Ronan Point apartment tower in 1968 was a pivotal event with regard to the way structural engineers considered progressive collapse. This event spurred a significant amount of research into the ... -
Progressive Collapse in Multi-Storey Steel Frames: The Effect of Varying Column Spacing
(2011)Following the collapse of the Ronan Point apartment tower, provisions to minimise the potential for progressive collapse were introduced in design codes for the first time. In recent years, the increased threat of terrorism ... -
Uplift Resistance of Granular Anchors in Clay Under Undrained Condition
(2013)Granular anchors (GAs) are a relatively new concept in ground engineering and can be used to resist uplift/pullout forces and compressive forces in addition to the ground improvement provided. The GA consists of three main ... -
Uplift resistance of granular anchors in clay under undrained condition (Extended abstract)
(2013)Granular anchors (GAs) are a relatively new concept in ground engineering and can be used to resist uplift/pullout forces and compressive forces in addition to the ground improvement provided. The GA consists of three main ... -
Implementing Eurocode 7 to achieve reliable geotechnical designs
(IOS Press, 2013)This paper examines how the different measures to achieve safe and reliable geotechnical designs are implemented in Eurocode 7. These measures include: the use of the concept of geotechnical categories of take account of ... -
The Detection of Infarcted Stroke Tissue via Localised Sodium Concentration Measurements: A Non-Invasive Approach
(Trinity College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin, 2009)Quantitative 23Na Magnetic Resonance Imaging (qNa-MRI) is a non-invasive technique which has considerable potential for measuring Tissue Sodium Concentration (TSC) changes in pathological brain tissue states such as ...
