Unsaturated behaviour of a stabilized marine sediment: A comparison of cement and GGBS binders
(Elsevier, 2018-09-21)
In order to ascertain the contaminant-encapsulation potential of stabilized soil, an understanding of its unsaturated hydraulic behaviour, specifically the Soil Water Retention Curve (SWRC), is paramount. In this paper, ...
A practical approach for the consideration of single pile and pile group installation effects in clay: numerical modelling
(IOS Press, 2015)
In this paper, a practical approach for the consideration of single pile and pile group installation effects in clay is presented using some novel procedures implemented in the finite element (FE) software package PLAXIS ...
Discussion of “Statistics of model factors in reliability-based design of axially loaded driven piles in sand”
(NRC Research Press, 2018-11-22)

Evidence of stabilised peat as a net carbon sink
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-01-09)
Mass stabilization, a ground improvement solution used for construction in peatlands, involves mixing suitable dry binders into the peat, increasing strength and stiffness and reducing permeability. A previous pilot study ...
Flipped learning in a civil engineering module: student and instructor experiences
(Irish Learning Technology Association, 2018-08-24)
Flipped learning is a form of active learning in which the basic content is assimilated before scheduled classroom sessions, enabling more productive use of classroom time to cultivate problem-solving ability, a key ...
Carbonation in stabilised peat: an accelerated pilot study
(ICE Institution of Civil Engineers, 2015)
Due to stringent environmental regulations, embodied carbon estimates are being used increasingly to assess the environmental
impact of major building and infrastructure projects, including their geotechnical components. ...
Laboratory foundation model with pyrite-bearing mudstone fill
(Thomas Telford (ICE Publishing), 2017-11-29)
Damage to domestic dwellings in the greater Dublin area of Ireland engendered by the expansion of the underfloor fill material containing pyrite has become a high-profile national problem in recent years. In this paper, a ...
An embodied carbon and embodied energy appraisal of a section of Irish motorway constructed in peatlands
(Elsevier, 2015-01-29)
In addition to the customary drivers of cost and timely project delivery, embodied energy (EE) and embodied carbon (EC) have come to prominence in recent years as major design considerations in all aspects of large-scale ...
Interpretation of pipe-jacking and lubrication records for drives in silty soil
(Elsevier, 2019-04-22)
In recent years, there has been an increased resort to microtunnelling/pipe-jacking as a means of constructing underground conduits (for water, sewage, gas, and other utilities) to avoid on-street disruption in urban areas. ...
Pile groups under axial loading: an appraisal of simplified non-linear prediction models
(Thomas Telford (ICE Publishing), 2019-06-12)
The settlement behaviour of vertically loaded pile groups has been the subject of an extensive body of research over the past two decades. In particular, this work has identified the over-conservatism associated with ...
