Laboratory Push-In Resistance Tests (PIRT) in a cement-stabilised pseudo-fibrous peat
(Civil Engineering Research in Ireland CERI, 2018-08-29)
Deep dry soil mixing (DDSM) is a form of ground improvement in which dry binders are injected and mixed in
situ, forming individual columns, rows or interlocking panels, thereby improving the geotechnical characteristics ...
An adaptive mesh solute transport model
(2009)
An adaptive mesh solute transport model is presented. The adaptive mesh scheme is implemented in a one-way multiply nested version of the hydrobiological model DIVAST (Depth Integrated Velocity and Solute Transport). The ...
Defining corporate energy policy and strategy to achieve carbon emissions reduction in non-energy intensive multi-site industrial organisations
(University of Maribor Press, 2017-07-05)
Research on the components and characteristics of long-term
energy policy and strategies in large organisations is limited. Non-energy
intensive multinationals do not face the environmental regulations required
by their ...
The effects of planting density on the structural timber properties of 23-year-old Irish-grown Sitka spruce
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)
In Europe, with the move towards more sustainable construction, there is an increasing demand for structural timber. The
purpose of this research is to explore new forestry management strategies, which will produce an ...
Viscoelastic creep of FRP reinforced glulam
(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 ...
Understanding the complexities of building physics and human behaviour in achieving a nearly zero energy building
(NUI Galway, 2016-07-27)
About 40% of the world’s energy consumption and approximately a third of greenhouse gas
emissions are associated with buildings. As the percentage of new buildings relative to existing
buildings is increasing at a rate ...
Evaluation of the structural behaviour of beam-beam connection systems using compressed wood dowels and plates
(NUI Galway, 2018-08-20)
To support the transition to a bio-based society, it is preferable to substitute metallic fasteners and adhesives in timber construction with an eco-friendly alternative. Recent studies have identified compressed wood ...
The influence of heat transfer and storage in structural precast building components on indoor environments
(2014)
Knowledge about the heat transfer and storage in concrete components of the building envelope is vital in evaluating the environmental and energy performance of buildings. Providing sufficient thermal mass of the building ...
The environmental performance of a reinforced precast concrete slab with void forming system
(2014)
In some climates people spend approximately 90% of their lives indoors. Thus, it is very important to maintain healthy and comfortable conditions in buildings. The building sector is responsible for about 40% of the ...
Interactive Water Services: The Waternomics Approach
(Elsevier, 2014)
WATERNOMICS focuses on the development of ICT as an enabling technology to manage water as a resource, increase end - user conservation awareness and affect behavioral changes. Unique aspects of WATERNOMICS include ...
