Analysis of microtunnel jacking forces in alluvium and glacial till in Mullingar, Ireland
McCabe, Bryan; Reilly, Ciaran C.; Orr, Trevor L. (2012)The number of successful microtunnelling drives completed in Ireland is growing rapidly. However, current jacking force predictions rely on experience from the UK and beyond, often gained through work in soils with a small ... -
Experiences of dry soil mixing in organic soils
Timoney, Martin J.; McCabe, Bryan (Institution of Civil Engineers, 2012)Soil mixing, or soil stabilisation, is a method of enhancing the geotechnical properties of suitable host soil through the addition of cementitious and/or pozzolanic binders in either dry or slurry forms. In dry soil mixing, ... -
Numerical modelling of the improvements to primary and creep settlements offered by granular columns
McCabe, Bryan; Sexton, Brian (Springer-Verlag, 2013)Analytical vibro-replacement design approaches typically quantify the settlement reduction using a dimensionless settlement improvement factor, defined as the ratio of the settlements without and with treatment. Most ... -
A numerical study of factors affecting the performance of stone columns supporting rigid footings on soft clay
Killeen, Michael M.; McCabe, Bryan (Taylor and Francis, 2010)The Vibro Replacement technique is now frequently used as a means of improving the bearing capacity and settlement performance of soft cohesive soils. In this paper, a parametric study using the finite element method is ... -
Operational coefficient of consolidation around a pile group driven in clay/silt
McCabe, Bryan; Sexton, Brian (Springer-Verlag, 2013)Although finite element packages facilitating coupled consolidation analyses are increasingly in use, many practitioners still favour linear uncoupled analysis out of familiarity with the use of coefficients of consolidation. ... -
Residual load development in cast in place piles - a review and a new case history
Flynn, Kevin; McCabe, Bryan (2012)The development of residual (or locked-in)loads in driven pre-formed piles has been investigated extensively over the past 40 years or so. In contrast, cast-in-situ piles are often erroneously assumed to be free of residual ... -
A review of field performance of stone columns on soft soils
McCabe, Bryan (2009-12)The behaviour of stone columns has yet to be captured fully by analytical and numerical techniques, and predicting column behaviour in soft cohesive soils brings specific challenges. This paper provides a comprehensive ... -
Sport and soil mechanics - analogies to aid student learning
McCabe, Bryan; Jaksa, Mark B. (2012) -
The use of digital resources in civil engineering education: Enhancing student learning and achieving accreditation criteria.
Nash, Stephen; McCabe, Bryan; Goggins, Jamie; Healy, Mark G. (2012)The use of digital resources in higher education has risen significantly over the last ten years and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The challenge for educational instructors is in determining how to ...
