Mixed stochastic user equilibrium behavior under traveler information provision services with heterogeneous multiclass multicriteria decision making
(Taylor and Francis, 2009)This paper studies travellers? mixed stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) behaviour under traveller information provision services with heterogeneous multi-class multi-criteria decision making. A multi-class, multi-criteria ... -
Assessing total costs and benefits of sustainable transport policy in ireland
(2010)The objective of this paper is to assess the benefits of greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant emission reductions projected by current Irish sustainable transport policy and to compare the Business as Usual (BAU) ... -
Discussion of White et al.(2008) A comparison of the bearing capacity of flat and conical circular foundations on sand. Geotechnique 58(10): 781 792.
(Thomas Telford, 2010)The authors have presented an interesting paper concerning a fundamental problem for geotechnical engineers: the bearing capacity of circular foundations on sand. In this paper the authors have included an equation for ... -
Nutrient loading on subsoils from on-site wastewater effluent, comparing septic tank and secondary treatment systems
(2009)The performance of six separate percolation areas was intensively monitored to ascertain the attenuation effects of unsaturated subsoils with respect to on-site wastewater effluent: three sites receiving septic tank effluent, ... -
Flexural bond strength of natural hydraulic lime mortar and clay brick.
(2010)This paper measures the bond strength of natural hydraulic-lime (NHL) mortars, to further characterise their properties and enhance their use in building. An additional objective is to correlate bond strength with mortar ... -
A comparison of conventional septic tank systems and alternative horizontal subsurface-flow reed bed systems in the treatment of domestic wastewater
(2007)In Ireland, the most prevalent domestic wastewater treatment application in unsewered areas is the conventional septic tank system with percolation area. However, concern has been expressed over on-site effluent discharging ... -
A comparative study on the treatment performance of a conventional septic tank system and reed bed-soil absorption system receiving domestic effluent
(Desalination Publications International Science Services, 2009)In Ireland, the most prevalent domestic wastewater treatment application in unsewered areas is the conventional septic tank system comprising of septic tank and soil absorption system, the latter more commonly referred ... -
A comparison of the treatment performance of freely-draining subsoils and horizontal subsurface-flow wetland systems receiving on-site wastewater effluent
(2008)On-site research was carried out in Ireland to assess and compare the treatment capabilities of freely draining subsoils receiving both septic tank and secondary effluents in tandem with a treatment assessment of a horizontal ... -
Development of a two stage inspection process for the assessment of deteriorating infrastructure
(2010)Inspection based maintenance strategies can provide an efficient tool for the management of ageing infrastructure subjected to deterioration. Many of these methods rely on quantitative data from inspections, rather than ... -
Physical properties of magnesian lime mortars
(2010)Magnesian lime is made from dolomitic limestone. The properties of magnesian lime mortars are not yet clearly established: some authors claim that Mg-lime has no hydraulicity and produces poor quality mortars that fracture, ... -
A comparative study of the compressive, flexural and bond strength of brick masonry.
(Taylor and Francis, 2009)Due to their physical and chemical properties, mortars made with lime are considered to be more compatible with historic fabrics than those made with artificial cements. This paper intends to contribute to the knowledge ... -
Mechanical and fluid transfer properties of some lime and Portland cement mortars.
(Taylor and Francis Group, London., 2009)The type of binder determines mortar properties, and these impact the durability of masonry. This paper intends to assist on the choice of mortar for a particular fabric, by investigating the properties of mortars made ... -
Measuring network reliability by considering paradoxes
(National Academy of Sciences, 2009)Traditionally, game theoretic approaches to measuring transport network reliability have relied on the outcome of a game played between network users seeking to minimize their travel costs and an OD-specific demon that ... -
Rail passengers' preferences for onboard Wi-Fi internet access
(2009)This paper presents the results of a survey which was conducted on an Irish Rail service to ascertain how the value of travel time may change if individuals could partake in another activity while travelling. The survey ... -
Measuring network reliability considering paradoxes: multiple network demon approach
(Transportation Research Board, 2009)Traditionally, game theoretic approaches to measuring transport network reliability have relied on the outcome of a game played between network users seeking to minimize their travel costs and an OD-specific demon that ... -
Use of a hybrid algorithm for modeling coordinated feeder bus route network at suburban railway stations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)In the metropolitan cities of developed and developing countries, longer journeys are mostly performed by two or more modes. In the event of availability of suburban trains and public buses, commuters prefer to travel a ... -
A petrographic study of the technology of hydraulic mortars at masonry bridges, harbours and mill ponds.
(Galileo Editions, 2008)Masonry mortars for underwater works such as bridge piers, harbours and mill ponds are of hydraulic nature. This paper investigates the raw materials and production technology of a number of these mortars. It focuses on ... -
Lime mortars for masonry repair: Analytical science and laboratory testing versus practical experience
(2006)This paper addresses the decay and performance of lime mortars used for repairs to masonry fabrics. It sets out how analytical science, laboratory testing and practical experience contribute to the diagnosis of mortar ... -
Repair mortars for masonry bridges
(2006)This paper addresses the decay and performance of lime mortars used for repairs to masonry fabrics. It sets out how analytical science, laboratory testing and practical experience contribute to the diagnosis of mortar ... -
Origin of films on monumental stone
(Earthscan, 2006)This paper investigates the origin of superficial films on different rock types from rural and urban locations in Spain and Ireland, focusing mainly on oxalate films. There is little agreement on the origin of oxalate films ...
