The impact of chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry before land application on soil phosphorus dynamics
(Taylor and Francis, 2014-08-22)
Application of dairy cattle slurry to agricultural soils, particularly those with high phosphorus (P) status or vulnerability to runoff, can increase P loss to waterbodies, which may accelerate eutrophication. While the ...
Dynamics and function of intracellular carbohydrate in activated sludge performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal
(Elsevier, 2010)
Recovery of biodegradable plastics from activated sludge is a promising sustainable
technology. In this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) ¿ a biodegradable plastics
material - was produced by activated sludge performing ...
Production of polyhydroxybutyrate by activated sludge performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal
(Elsevier, 2010)
In this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) 'a biodegradable plastics material' was produced by activated sludge performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) in batch experiments under anaerobic, aerobic and ...
Analysis of jacking force data for microtunnels in glacial till at Kilcock, Ireland
(IOS Press, 2011)
Although the application of microtunnelling to pipeline construction has grown considerably in Ireland in recent times, there is very little published guidance on the jacking forces that might be expected in Irish ground ...
The use of digital resources in civil engineering education: student learning and achieving accreditation criteria
(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 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 ...
The creation of a living laboratory for structural engineering at the National University of Ireland, Galway
(2012)
The recently completed New Engineering Building (NEB) at the National University of
Ireland, Galway (NUIG) is a new state of the art academic facility on the
university's north campus. The building unites all five ...
Factors affecting Embodied Carbon/Embodied Energy associated with ground improvements techniques for construction on peat
(NUI Galway, 2012)
In addition to the traditional drivers of cost and timely programme delivery, embodied energy (EE) and embodied carbon (EC) have emerged as major considerations in all aspects (including geotechnical) of large construction ...
Ground heave induced by installing stone columns in clay soils
(ICE Publishing, 2013-12)
Measurements of ground heave induced by installing stone columns in soft clay are presented in this paper. These measurements are likely to provide guidance to practitioners concerned about the possible impact of column ...
Appraising stone column settlement prediction methods using finite element analyses
(Springer Verlag, 2014-09-26)
Numerous approaches exist for the prediction of the settlement improvement offered by the vibro-replacement technique in weak or marginal soil deposits. The majority of the settlement prediction methods are based on the ...
Numerical modelling of the improvements to primary and creep settlements offered by granular columns
(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 ...
