    • Viscoelastic creep of FRP reinforced glulam 

      O’Ceallaigh, Conan; Sikora, Karol; McPolin, Daniel; Harte, Annette M. (NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)
      The reinforcement of timber using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) rods or plates is widely accepted as an effective method of increasing the strength and stiffness of members, while at the same time reducing the variability ...

    • Vortex drop shaft structures: state-of-the-art and future trends 

      Mulligan, Sean; Plant, Joss; Nash, Stephen; Clifford, Eoghan (International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), 2019-09-01)
      Vortex drop shaft structures have played a critical role in hydraulic engineering; from one of their first applications in hydroelectric energy dissipation in the 1940s, to numerous contemporary installations throughout modern ...

    • Water analytics and management with real-time linked dataspaces 

      ul Hassan, Umair; Hasan, Souleiman; Derguech, Wassim; Hannon, Louise; Clifford, Eoghan; Kouroupertroglou, Christos; Smit, Sander; Curry, Edward (Springer, 2017)
      Due to predictions of water scarcity in the future, governments and public administrations are increasingly looking for innovative solutions to improve water governance and conservation. The problem is exasperated due ...

    • Water consumption data 

      Clifford, Eoghan; Mulligan, Sean; Hannon, Louise (NUI Galway, 2017-08-16)
      7.5 minute water usage data obtained over a 6 month trial period for two Waternomics pilot sites. Relates to paper under review at the AGU Journal of Water Resources Research titled: Flow signature analysis of water ...

    • Waternomics: A cross-site data collection to support the development of a water information platform 

      O’Donovan, Peter; Coakley, Daniel; Mink, Jan; Curry, Edward; Clifford, Eoghan (Elsevier, 2015-09-01)
      In Europe, 20 to 40% of water is being wasted due to poor infrastructure, consumer negligence and lack of proper resource management. Effective and efficient management of water resources requires a holistic approach ...

    • Web geometry optimisation of novel latticed LVL-webbed timber I-joists 

      Harte, Annette M.; Baylor, Gordon; O'Ceallaigh, Conan (Elsevier, 2022-12-02)
      This paper presents the finite element analysis of novel composite timber I-joists with curved latticed webs. The flanges of the joists were made from Norway Spruce whilst the curved latticed webs were made from laminated ...
