Understanding the determinants of bike-sharing demand in the context of a medium-sized car-oriented city: The case study of Milton Keynes, UK
(2024)Emerging modes of shared mobility like bike-sharing may significantly contribute to increasing the share of sustainable travel in medium- and small-sized cities. However, research exploring the bike-sharing usage determinants ... -
Discussion: Utilizing waste-shredded rubber pieces for improved foundation stability [Transp. Infrastruct. Geotech. 11(6), 3941-3968]
(2025)Wildfires have short- and long-term impacts on the geoenvironment, including the changes to biogeochemical and mechanical properties of soils, landfill stability, surface- and groundwater, air pollution, and vegetation. ... -
E-bike to the future: Scalability, emission-saving, and eco-efficiency assessment of shared electric mobility hubs
(2024)In car-dominated urban areas, shared electric micro-mobility offers a sustainable alternative to decarbonise and reshape mobility paradigms. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for evaluating Dublin’s e-bike ... -
Decarbonising Shared Mobility: The Potential of Shared Electric Vehicles
(2024)Car-sharing services offer potential to reduce dependency on private cars, and their electrification may decarbonise the transportation sector even further. This study estimates the potential emission reduction if shared ... -
Evaluating the readiness for electric vehicle adoption among the urban population using geospatial techniques
(2024)Electric mobility is critical to reducing emissions from transport and dependency on Internal Combustion Engine vehicles. This study attempts to model the suitability of the built environment for electric vehicle (EV) ... -
Driving as essential, cycling as conditional: how automobility is politically sustained in discourses of everyday mobility
(2024)Car-based automobility remains dominant across Europe despite the high energy requirements such a system embeds. This system is becom- ing increasingly problematised. As part of an alternative vision for every- day ... -
Statistical reappraisal of the wax and mercury methods for shrinkage limit determinations of fine-grained soils
(2024)Because of the hazards associated with handling mercury, most standards organizations have withdrawn the conventional mercury (displacement) method (MM) for shrinkage limit (SL) determination of fine-grained soils. Despite ... -
Optimisation of monopiles supporting offshore wind turbines through advanced numerical modelling of cyclic loading
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2024)The European Union (EU) has established ambitious renewable energy targets in order to de-carbonise the energy sector. In Ireland, it is estimated that 2.3GW of offshore wind capacity will be installed by 2030 at an estimated ... -
Corrosion fatigue analysis of NREL's 15-MW offshore wind turbine with time-varying stress concentration factors
(2024)Over the last twenty years, significant development in wind turbine technologies has led to a dramatic increase in the scale of wind turbines with many now beginning to be installed in offshore locations. Consequently, ... -
Estimating the performance of wind turbines misaligned with respect to the wind direction using a simplified CFD based approach
(2024)Wind direction in atmospheric boundary layer changes constantly. As such, the power extracted from the wind turbines in a wind farm is subjected to change. This change in wind direction impacts the wake pattern which in ... -
Validation of Acceleration Response Modelling for Modular High Rise Structures through Full Scale Monitoring
(2023)For many tall building forms, habitability requirements associated with excessive acceleration response become a governing design criterion as building heights increase. The application of modular construction methods ... -
Improved fatigue life of floating offshore wind turbine towers with tuned mass damper inerters (TMDIs)
(2023)Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are the largest rotating structures on earth. FOWTs are very flexible and dynamically sensitive, they are also installed in very harsh environments and exposed to stochastic ... -
Observer based pitch control for load mitigation and power regulation of floating offshore wind turbines
(2023)Most commercial wind turbines use proportional-integral (PI) collective blade- pitch control to regulate rotor speed in the above-rated wind speed regime. A significant drawback of this type of controller is that it ... -
Characterisation of Microbial Biomat Development in Soil Treatment Units Receiving Domestic Effluent
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2024)Soil treatment units are an essential part on on-site wastewater treatment system. In Ireland there are approximately 500,000 on-site wastewater treatment systems with 87% configured as a septic tank followed by a soil ... -
Discussion: Development of a single-point method to determine soil plastic limit using fall¿cone data [Geotech Geol Eng 41:4473-4485, 2023]
(2024)This discussion article presents a critical appraisal of three empirical correlations developed via multiple regression analysis and presented in the Kayabali et al. [Geotech Geol Eng 41:4473–4485, 2023. https://doi.org/ ... -

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 ...
