The influence of particle size on the nature and transport of sediments and associated pollutants in urban stormwater drainage
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2014)The sediment and pollutant load transported by pipe and gully stormwater drainage systems was investigated through field sampling of a number of urban catchments. Stormwater runoff from a residential catchment was monitored ... -
The role of the near-surface pathways in the delivery of flow and nutrients to streams in Irish catchments
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2014)Management of pollution from diffuse agricultural and small point sources remains a significant challenge worldwide. Understanding and quantifying the contributions of flow and nutrients, through each hydro(geo)logical ... -
An assessment of the performance of willow evapotranspiration systems for the treatment of on-site wastewater in Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2014)In Ireland, domestic wastewater from approximately 400,000 dwellings is treated by on-site systems which are all designed to distribute the treated effluent to groundwater via the subsoil on the site. Low permeability ... -
An experimental study of the physical properties of lime mortar and their effect on lime-mortar masonary
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2013)The objective of this research is to provide new data in respect to the mechanical behaviour of lime mortar and masonry traditionally used in Ireland, especially the effect of water content and curing time and curing ... -
Characterisation of County Clare's wave energy resource and factors affecting SOWC wave energy converter design
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2014)Aim. There were two aims: (i) To characterise the wave climate for a domain off the coast of County Clare adjacent to Loop Head which is an area of interest for ocean energy development in Ireland, (ii) To use the findings ... -
The thermo-hygrometric properties of multi-purpose historic buildings
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2014)The concept of sustainability is a multi-faceted one, with environmental, social and economic aspects all requiring consideration when assessing the sustainability at a micro or macro scale. Accordingly, when considering ... -
An 'Urban Spacebook' : re-mapping the city with mobility practices and experiences
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2014)This thesis argues that urban sustainability cannot be reached without city inhabitants becoming more connected and engaged with their city and participating (inter)actively in planning their environments. It acknowledges ... -
Model studies on monopile foundation systems under long-term repeated lateral loads
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2015)Wind energy plants, dolphins, and many other ocean engineering structures are supported on large diameter rigid monopiles. For such structures lateral loads are more critical for the design and analysis compared with the ... -
An investigation of smarter driving : emission and exposure modelling and micro simulation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2015)Promoting smarter driving may be a useful initiative to reduce the negative environmental impacts of travel in the present car dominated era. Smarter driving may include efficient driving and route choice which reduces ...
