Approximate WPI based Survival Probability Determination of Nonlinear Oscillator under Combined Excitation
(2023)An analytical method for determining stochastic response and survival probability of nonlinear oscillators subjected to combined evolutionary nonstationary excitation and periodic excitation is developed. This is done by ... -
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 ... -
Wind Field Simulation and Fluid-Structure Interaction in Wind Farms
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2023)Wind energy as a renewable source has been a topic of immense interest over the past few decades. It is a well known fact that the wake structure influences the performance and operation of the wind turbines located further ... -
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 ... -
Ecosystem services and water quality of turloughs, a form of intermittent karst wetland
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2023)Ecosystem services (ES) can be defined as the conditions and processes through which natural ecosystems sustain and fulfil human life. These can be classified as provisioning, regulating, and cultural (water and raw material ... -
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 ... -
Regression models for predicting the inelastic seismic response of steel braced frames
(2022)This paper describes the development of regression equations to predict the peak inelastic drift and acceleration response of steel concentrically braced frame (CBF) building structures. A database of Engineering Demand ... -
Suitability of a high-calcium slag for alkali activation, and strength and microstructure of the resultant materials.
(2022)We study the feasibility of producing building materials by activating an Irish slag with alkali-metal activators. The slag is highly amorphous and basic (CaO+ MgO/SiO2=1.56), with CaO/SiO2=1.41 and Al2O3/SiO2=0.34 which ... -
A wolf in sheep's clothing: Exposing the structural violence of private electric automobility
(2023)The world is running out of time to avoid cataclysmic climate impacts. Therefore, determining which decarbonisation strategies are more effective and inclusive in reducing anthropogenic dependency on fossil fuels is vital ... -
Medieval lime-gypsum mortars in Ireland
(2023)Historic lime-gypsum mortars are rare in Ireland. Gypsum is hygroscopic and relatively soluble in water, hence common believe was that it would hydrate in the highly- humid Irish climate to quickly weather. The material ... -
The mortars of Coliemore harbour: comparison with other 19th century mortars of harbours and fortifications in Dublin Bay
(2023)This paper investigates the mortars used to build Coliemore harbour in 1869: their materials, sources, technology and current condition. It compares their composition with other Dublin harbours and fortifications in ... -
A comparative study of the environmental impact of alkali activated and traditional materials
(2022)Many construction materials carry significant environmental impacts because they require high energy input and non-renewable materials for production, contributing to material depletion and greenhouse gas emissions. In ...
